Yellow and blue notifications tell you when there are connectivity issues or when the battery died on the sock. The company helps parents with financing and it is available at major retailers so moms can add it to their baby registry in hopes that it will be gifted to them.Īnother con, the alarms on the base station can be rather annoying. On top of all of the other things that new parents need to purchase, this is too much to swallow. Instead, there are dozens of testimonials from parents who said the monitor helped them sleep better and notified them when their baby's vitals were at dangerous levels. The company said they have now sold more than 250,000 units, and though they cannot and do not claim that it can prevent SIDS, there has yet to be a report of a baby dying while wearing the sock. She swears the sock saved her little boy. When Owlet launched, I interviewed a mom who had a premature baby with breathing issues. I've been testing out the product for about a month now.
There is a base station and an app that notifies you if the baby's oxygen and heart rate levels are dangerously low or high. It's a wireless pulse oximeter, similar to technology that is used in hospitals, that monitors your baby's heart rate and oxygen levels. I needed some peace of mind, so I decided to try out the Owlet Smart Sock baby monitor. Even when she started sleeping through the night, I still could not. Every noise that Juniper made woke me up and when she was silent, I panicked and had to check to make sure she was still breathing. So when my daughter, Juniper, was born in October, my paranoia levels were at an all-time high. More than 3,700 babies died of unexpected causes in their sleep in 2015, according to the CDC. She was sleeping on her back, there were no bumpers on the crib or any blankets or toys near her - it was just a tragic mystery. It is worth every single cent in my eyes, as well as my husband's eyes, and he hates forking out money for baby products.My cousin died of SIDS, or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, when she was just six weeks old. Something was wrong that doctors at the ER missed simply because she was awake when they saw her, rather than asleep which was when her oxygen was tanking. But, now I love it 1000 times more because I had it when something was wrong. Just being able to go to sleep knowing that if something was wrong out of the blue, I would be alerted. I loved the peace of mind the Owlet gave me before this experience.
Now she is completely happy and healthy and will forever more be sleeping with that amazing Owlet on her foot until the day she outgrows it. Me too doc, me too!! We spent two days in the hospital on oxygen and being monitored as she fought through the worst of the viruses.
Our doctor told me he is so grateful that we had the Owlet because we were able to catch it before she declined even more. She had good color, she was happy, she didn't have a fever, she was eating perfectly normal, and so on and so forth. Her respiratory system was getting rocked, and she was showing zero signs while awake. She was tested at the hospital and her tests came back positive for both RSV and Coronavirus, a completely different respiratory virus. The thought was that parts of June's lungs were collapsing while sleeping because of the mucus. As she ran out the door to get the doctor, the Owlet red-alarmed again. The nurse was so surprised and was equally concerned that June had such low levels. Guess what.THE OWLET READ EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE DOCTOR'S MONITORS!!! We luckily got June to sleep so we could monitor her that way since that was when the alarms were going off, and her stats measured fine when she was awake in the ER. We took her into the doctor's office and took the Owlet with us so that we could compare it to the monitors the doctors used. It did not sit right with me that it was suddenly "malfunctioning" when my baby had a respiratory virus. I used the Owlet with my oldest, and had been using it since day one with June, and had never had a false alarm.
