Owlet sock critical alarm

Daughter was in bed with me last night as she is teething. Her owlet sock sounded the critical alarm at 3:30 in the morning. I panicked and grabbed my daughter but she was completely fine and started giggling. When I checked the app this morning it showed that I had an alert but when I looked at her stats for 3:30 in the morning it doesn’t even show a drop in oxygen. Has anyone ever got false critical alarms? Should I go to the GP to have her checked?

When I was researching owlet’s this came up a lot and seemed quite common so I chose not to get one for this reason as it would have caused more anxiety for me than it solved. The general consensus seemed to be better to alarm falsely and nothing be wrong than there be something wrong and it not sound x

If she seems happy in herself and no signs of illness I would just keep an eye for now. Have you had a look on the session? Run across the oxygen and the pulse rate to see if any spiked. X

You should be able to see what was the cause of the alert on the history at the top right.
It will say if it was oxygen or heart beat readings. If heart beat and under 50bpm then it’s a wifi connection issue

Social media babies sleeping 10 hours+

Please tell me I’m not the only mom who’s baby still isn’t sleeping thru the night.
My son is gonna be 6m soon and I keep on saying videos saying he should already be sleeping thru the night no wakings to feed. He eats like how he does during the day, wakes every 3 hours, he very quickly goes back to sleep.
We’re not interested in doing any kind of harsh sleep training, we just have a good nighttime routine and just attend to our baby when he calls for us
Any other moms sleep waking up with their babies? And when did your baby (non sleep training) start sleeping thru the night or at least longer stretches.

My little girl (17m) is poorly for the first time and it’s breaking my heart.

I just wrote a post asking how to make administering medication less stressful for my little girl but I feel so sad I need to say something. It’s now 1.30am. I’m covered in penicillin sick and precious baby tears. Plus my own tears. She’s got tonsillitis and has been prescribed penicillin, and she just hates it. I’ve been instructed to wake her for her nightly dose (5ml every 6 hours, 4 times a day) and this is the 2nd out of 6 doses already given that she’s thrown it up on me because she’s so distressed that she just cries, gags, coughs, and vomits. She’s not allergic, showing no obvious signs of allergy, she just has a serious aversion to medicine administration. Idek know what I’m aiming to get out of posting this, I just feel so alone (her dad and me aren’t technically together, and he left on an argument tonight) and im so hurt hearing her so distressed because she doesn’t know what’s happening. She doesn’t know why she’s so poorly. She doesn’t know I’m trying to help. She’s never been poorly like this so it’s really hard for me, she’s my first born and it’s just breaking my heart. 😢

Babies must know when we sacrifice for them

It’s 1000 degrees outside and I have a stomach flu but I strapped my baby to my chest and went for a walk anyway because she was fussy. The whole walk she was cooing, kicking her legs, and overall in a fantastic mood. Now that we’re home I’m convalescing on the couch while she plays with her toys in peace.

12m son keeps purposely banging his head

My son is almost 13 months old and he has been purposely hitting his head repeatedly on things like the tile floor or glass back door for apparently no reason. I stop him and he throws a fit.

I’ve googled it and it seems normal for some babies.

Has anyone’s baby done this and when do they stop!?

Formula feeding 8 week old

My son turned 8 weeks old today and for the last 3/4 days he’s been eating 6 ounces every 3/4 hours. Today he drank 7 bottles in 24 hours, is this too much?
I am feeding on demand, he is pretty much finishing them all (leaves a bit of foam)

He is on anti reflux milk and isn’t bringing anything up!

He was weighed today and he is 11lb 8oz and the midwife had no concerns with his weight gain.

How frequently is your baby waking throughout the night?

And how many weeks are they? Do you have a bedtime(ish)?
