Owlet - Smart Sock 2 Baby Oxygen Level and Heart Rate Monitor - Green/white

Our son has intractible epilepsy and has seizures at night. Although he sleeps with me I was still up all night long checking him. With this sock I k ow that even while I sleep he is being watched after and he is breathing safely.

We have been using the Owlet on our preemie for the past 6 months, and I have been very pleased with it so far. It was easy to set up, and so far it has worked great. I have a friend whose baby died of SIDS, so that was a huge fear of mine, especially after my daughter was born prematurely. Using the Owlet gives me peace of mind, and allows me to sleep without worry. My only complaint is that the velcro loses its "stickiness" after a few weeks of use. This caused the sock to fall off my daughter's foot, and resulted in the blue alert going off. Now I just use a small piece of tape to hold the velcro flap down, and problem solved.

My sons father has sever sleep apnea, so we were concerned with my son having it as well. Based on his loud snoring when we came home from the hospital it was an evern bigger concern to us. We ordered the Owlet monitor after searching from something that would help us be notified if he stops breathing. What I like best about the Owlet is that it's not based on movement, so there are few and far between false alarms. And it doesn't wait for your baby to stop breathing, it alarms you is his heartbeat and blood oxygen levels get into a dangerous zone, allowing you time to wake up your child before they stop breathing all together. So far we've only had one red alarm, and I didn't stop long enough to check the numbers to see whether or not it was false, I immediately woke my son up and turned off the alarm! The Owlet comes with different sock sizes, which helps immensely. We usually put a sock of footy PJ's over the monitor so that our son isn't able to detach it somehow. It doesn't negativlely impact his sleep at all!

I use it every night. We usually get a sock disconnection warning every night but other than that I have no complaints.

Overall, my husband and I are very satisfied with the Owlet monitor. It gives us peace of mind, and we haven't gotten a false alarm (a problem run into with other monitors). Initially, we had some difficulty with setting up the proper fit. We followed all instructions, but continually were getting "yellow alarms" which signify a fit issue or that the sock has fallen off. For us, the case was that always the sock had fallen off of our baby. We had trouble getting the Velcro to allow us to pull tighter on the sock. That aside, this sock has given us an abundance of peace of mind. With my first child, I used to wake up several times a night to check on him to ensure he was breathing. I now fall asleep much more easily and do not waken with worry. Thanks Owlet!!!
