Our baby was born micro preemie so the transition from hospital to home was tough. Owlet gave us a sense of security knowing we can monitor her oxygen levels
My baby spend 7 weeks in the NICU and suffered with desats, when we came home the only reason I was able to sleep through the night was because of her owlet. 5 days after she came home her low oxygen alarm went off and we were able to turn the lights on and stim her back to normal. Although it was terrifying, knowing that we would not sleep through an alarm and would always be aware if she needed us made it so I could allow myself to sleep a little deeper. We have now been using it for almost 3 months and have had no false alarms, sometimes we will get notified if it is not reading correctly but it is a very different sound so it does not cause panic and I would much rather know it needs to be adjusted. The camera is also nice because it monitors temperature and humidity to make sure the environment is safe as well.
I LOVE both the sock and the monitor it eases my mind so much because it will beep if anything’s wrong and you can see your baby even when you are not in the room I also love that the battery of the sock last a long time so you can go through the day as well and that the app works even when you aren’t home or around the base station if I leave the house I can still check up on her if she has her sock on while someone else is watching her overall great product super happy I got it
Our daughter was born early at 33 weeks resulting in a short NICU stay. During her time in the NICU, she was hooked up to a monitor 24/7. Once she came home, not having her being constantly monitored brought me a lot anxiety. Especially at night. We started using the Owlet, and slowly I was able to have better sleep. My baby is now 7 months old, and we use it every night. I especially enjoy the predictive sleep feature as it has become very helpful in preventing her becoming overtired. I would buy an Owlet for future children, and recommend it to any parent that asks about it.
Bought this to help us better see our son’s oxygen levels during sick season! It has been a such a blessing to have this information to take to his doctor.
