Anyone else getting the Owlet monitor?

Question

I work in a NICU, so I'm super anxious of all things that can go wrong.  I've cried from babies brought into the ER by frantic parents whose baby died from SIDS.  So sad.  
This is my 5th baby and I'm so excited someone finally invented this for parents to use with out needing a prescription from a doctor.

I'm not rich but totally willing to shell out the money for this monitor instead of getting an expensive stroller or other fancy things.

The monitor can't claim to prevent SIDS. But heck any monitor that tells you if the babies heart rate and oxygen levels are dropping will surely help prevent deaths.  I also like that it will alarm on my phone and that I can remotely see what going on if the baby is with a sitter.

Answer

I'm getting one! $250 is a small price to pay for peace of mind!!! I have seen a few blogs that offer discounts... Pregnant chicken and pulling curls. You may have to hunt for the blog post, but it'll save you a few bucks!

Answer

As a nicu nurse maybe you can answer this for me. I'm a ER nurse and our O2 monitors alarm at 90% or below. On outlet they don't alarm until it's below 80%. When I asked customer service this they said team of doctors came up with this and they won't change the parameters. As an NICU nurse don't you think that's awfully low before you hear an alarm? That's the only concern I have with buying the product

Answer

I already got mine.

Answer

I had a NICU baby who had apnea her first year of life. I wish I could afford the Owlet Monitor for my own piece of mind. My daughter had an apnea monitor but this one won't be coming home with something like that so of course I'm scared.

Answer

I'm a NICU PA and I will absolutely get one. My best friend who is also a PA (Gen Surg) had purchased hers when her son was born in 2015. She said she loved hers so much she would have paid 3x the amount for it if she had too. Nothing like a decent nights sleep knowing it has your back.
