Owlet sock worth it?

i have a eufy just like the owlet it’s cheaper but i have used it since having her in nov and still use it. and when i say it helps me sleep better at night and not worrying my self all night staring up going crazy with anxiety. i will say if she is crying a lot and i go to soothe her. her heart drops low i had a scare and took her to er when it happened he explained to me there is a nerve in the bby neck when they calm down after being so upset. it’s worth it in my eyes

I fully believe this is down to your own ‘psyche’. Personally for me, as someone with health anxiety and OCD, I found it very unhelpful and anxiety inducing as I would constantly be checking, and any false alarm would give me a panic attack. I know that health professionals aren’t too keen as it can make parents too reliant and overlook visual signs of illness etc. However, I know people who have used one and loved it. I’d say maybe get one cheap from Vinted to try it out and see how you go xx

I have kept my 4 kids in my bedroom the first 6 months after they were born so I would check on them all the time so I never needed it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you have lots of worries and not enough help it’s better to have peace of mind. I’ve heard lots of great things like being able to step away from baby for a moment without feeling guilty since it shows baby’s vital signs on your phone so it’s like being in the room with them all the time. So you can do things Getting the mail, taking a quick shower, cooking for yourself, pooping.
and some trivial, Like cleaning it. I don’t think you can just wash it. But alcohol spray should do the trick every couple days, I wouldn’t wait until it gets stinky.

Gonne be honest it’s kinda not worth it but I would get it again if that makes sense. I had a lot of anxiety about SIDS and suffocation and overall it has helped me sleep a bit better. With that being said though it didn’t fit my son when he was first born and so for those few weeks it was useless. Not being able to use it made me less dependent on it and sometimes there are days where I don’t use it just because I don’t feel like it. On those days I think to myself why did I even buy it but it’s all up to you.

I like it because it keeps sleep data and lets me know if she's too cold or hot and if she's getting good deep sleep or not. I don't solely rely on it but it's just another tool to be used to get you through the 1 year baby trenches.

We love ours! My daughter was a NICU preemie and I don’t think I would get any sleep without it. I also love the sleep insights that tell you how much sleep they are getting.

10000% worth it for me. my son was in the nicu so bringing him home after being monitored around the clock was hard. purchased another one off marketplace for my daughter since his crapped out right around a year. still worth it for sure, the sleep insights were helpful for timing naps too. i found that we didn’t have any false alarms so long as it was secured correctly and his feet weren’t cold

Most nurses and pediatricians will tell you it’s not worth it, it’s just anxiety inducing. Your child should be roomsharing the first 6 months in a crib or bedside bassinet, this reduces the chances of SIDS as well as other things like running a fan for airflow and using a pacifier.

Asked my nicu Dr about it they said they do not recommend it but recommend keeping a bassinet by the bed and keeping baby near you for 6 months.

I used it for my first and am using it again for my newborn, I suffer from postpartum anxiety and sundown scaries, so it helps me alottttt during the nighttime because I have the owlet camera and sock bundle so even though he’s in his crib across from my bed I have the video feed playing on my nightstand to keep an eye out on him. We’ve never gotten any false alarms and with my first she got Rsv at 6months old and the sock detected when her oxygen got really low and we had to take her to the ER and she needed oxygen and respiratory therapy. If it’s placed correctly and baby isn’t wiggling like crazy you shouldn’t get any false alarms . It was a purchase I don’t regret, now the camera is a hit or miss tbh it’s not my fav. Also the app gives you alot of good info about your baby’s sleep patterns and stuff which is also really cool!

I’ve just brought one due to my 5 day old new born choking in the night silently! On mucus from my c section, I’m hoping it’s going to help my anxiety as every night he’s literally choking on it and if I wasn’t awake I don’t know what would be the outcome! X
