Feelings on the Owlet Smart Sock?

Question

I’m a first time mom and feeling a bit stuck on whether or not I should purchase this. Anybody have any experience with it? Good or bad! Thank you.

Answer

If the newborn baby is going to sleep in your bedroom where you can hear almost everything, I personally think it’s a waste of money. Maybe if baby will be sleeping in another room or across the house from the get go, I could justify purchasing it, but other than that, no. 
My friend uses it and it’s basically a fancy monitor to track sleep/wake patterns and breathing cycles. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 
At 3 months, risk for SIDS drops and then it drops significantly again around 6 months. 
If someone gifts it to you or it goes on sale or you have a gift card, sure, but I wouldn’t drop $300 on it. There have also been occasional instances where it burns baby’s feet-I’m not sure how accurate that is, I just read that while researching it.

Answer

Also a ftm and I was set on getting it but never got to it bc it was expensive and honestly now my baby is 3 weeks and I’m glad I didn’t get it. My baby sleeps next to me and I wake up for everything so it seems unnecessary now

Answer

A family friend woke up to his baby blue. They had to do cpr on him and the doc said he was about to die from SIDS. They bought it and ever since hearing that story, I knew I would get one. If they hadn’t woken up at that time, their son would have died.

Answer

They give so many false alarms and false security I wouldn't use it my family had issues with them

Answer

my baby’s dad bought is when i was only 4 weeks, we were so excited when we found out 🥰 we also bought the owlet camera. we didn’t buy the bundle we bought both separately in stores which was more expensive. i’m 29 weeks and honestly excited to use it. idc what anyone says, to me it is something that is going to help ease my mind because i’ve suffered from major anxiety specially mid pregnancy.

Answer

I used it for 18 months and wouldn’t have slept without it

Answer

Absolutely worth it. I slept so much better knowing it would alert me if something is wrong. Best purchase I made.

Answer

My sister used it with her second and she said she absolutely loved it and it helped with her anxiety so much. So I did end up getting it, just waiting to use it 🥰
