What do you think of the Owlet sock??

Question

For those of you who don't know, this is the website. http://www.owletcare.com
From what I understand, you put the sock on your baby and it monitors them as they sleep and alerts you to any problems. 
But I worry that it would either make me too paranoid or too complacent. Please explain your choice!

Answer

How does it promote neglect? Haha just curious. It's expensive that's the only reason I don't want it. But if my baby had complications like preemie or breathing issues I would for peace of mind.

Answer

I think it's a great invention and some moms need that piece of mind to get sleep. New moms are already stressed out and sleep deprived, if this can help eat her nerves I think it's worth the money especially if you have more children. I myself didn't know about till my niece was born and had some breathing issues, she stopped breathing 3-4 times and had to be intubated. So this gave my sister-in-law great peace when she got home. It's not a perfect science but it's nice to have something on the market for moms to help protect and monitor their newborn.

Answer

I don't think it promotes neglet- just gives parents peace of mind. But I do think it's a huge waste of money. That thing is so expensive and it only measures 2 things. No thanks. If it did heart rate, temp, bp, and oxygen? Maybe. But it doesn't. Lol
