Owlet/ breathing monitors. Do you worry about the safety of having that kind of technology on your baby? Like the impact of WiFi, etc. on the babies developing body?

Question

Answer

The technology and stuff doesn’t bother me but I also just don’t see the need for them personally. I’ve read stories where the alarms go off falsely, causing so much more worry on parents. For me, I was fine to not have one

Answer

I had this with my first, even though my son was in a bassinet next to me. I feel like it gave us peace of mind, also a friends baby stopped breathing in the middle of the night and this alerted them. Never had an issue with charging or burning.

Answer

No that’s silly.

Answer

I lost my brother to sids and when my second brother was born it was a life saver, I’ve brought one for my son for when he’s here to help prevent sids

Answer

The technology doesn’t worry me but I had a NICU baby so when we brought him home I didn’t want anything hooked up to him. Plus the doctors strongly advised against it because they aren’t always accurate and can cause you to think something is wrong when it isn’t

Answer

No I don’t worry about the possibility of physical side effects from it but I would worry about my mental health. For some it brings peace, but I’d obsess over it and it wouldn’t help me.

Answer

We love ours it saved our daughter her third night home.

Answer

I dont really see the need for something like this unless your baby had serious health issues and was in the NICU or something like that. Otherwise it seems like a waste of money. I have seen people complain that the foot monitor had left a burn on their baby's foot. So I personally wouldn't spend the money on it unless we really needed it.
