Is the owlet sleeper sock worth it for monitoring heart rate and oxygen levels??

Question

I am intrigued but it’s very expensive. But I feel like it would give peace of mind and wanted to know thoughts? Thanks!!

Answer

I returned it after we kept getting false alarms. We called his doctor up in the middle of the night and was patient with us but said these calls are not uncommon but due to the fact a babies circulation is poor in their feet when little (hence why their feet look a different color for a while) it is so easy to get false alarms. So it’s really not that effective for the time where it would be most needed.

Answer

I’ve heard that the AAP doesn’t endorse it or recommends against it? Something about having something electronic attached to your kid at all times. Who knows the effects of that. I don’t think it’s been approved by any government regulating agencies (meaning no tests/long term studies have been done).

Answer

Never bought one. I used just a regular monitor and even the I used it for maybe a month. For some people it makes them even more anxious.

Answer

I got one from Best Buy and got the warranty Best Buy offers. I decided I really didn’t need the owlet after a couple months. I mean it worked great, I just calmed down and got into a good flow with my girl. So I just brought it into Best Buy to claim my warranty, no questions asked and got all money back on a gift card. Bought a new toaster and mini fridge 😁

Answer

Love mine. Wouldn’t be able to sleep without it. I got mine on eBay for about 100 bucks less.

Answer

Love mine! I work midnights so I love that I can check on him at work. The nurse in me likes to see numbers. I’ve never had any false alarms at all. It’s honestly the only way I could sleep. Everyone is different (some people get more anxious) but it was amazing for me

Answer

I love mine, I’ve only had one false alarm. I was patting her butt so fast that the monitor picked it up as a rapid heartbeat. 😂 also, if you go to their website they have payment plan and have refurbished ones. You get new socks and device is tested to make sure it is still in great working condition. It was 100 dollars less than a brand new one. I say totally worth it for my peace of mind. I’ve heard many stories of the owlet monitor notifying a problem with heartbeat or oxygen levels and parents told their doctor and they got to the root of the problem. Worth it to me imo. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Only hit no to see results

Answer

You’ll be nervous when baby is first born. But the constantly needing to check if they’re breathing at night passes, faster than you think. Not worth it unless your baby has a medical issues you’re concerned about

Answer

I love mine! I’ve never had any false alarms!
