What's everyone's thoughts on Owlet Care?

Question

Seems like a great concept to monitor baby's breathing and heart rate to have some peace at mind while you sleep. I've read good reviews and then, I've read some opinionated views that are more technical. I definitely want to try it out because its the closest thing I've found to this sort of thing. Thoughts?

Answer

They are not recommended by doctors or NICUs. I think they give a false sense of comfort, as well can cause unnecessary stress of they go off for no reason. If you're following safe sleep practices there should be no reason for them. A lot of money on a nonessential item in my opinion

Answer

I honest wouldn't waste spending my money and time on it. First  it will fall off, because baby are wiggle and get up in the middle of night when ur not feeding, when you could be sleeping, here you are fiddle with it. Keep in mind that everyone stop breathing in their sleep not just baby. Even you do it in you sleep. Hence the suddenly coughing in your sleep or sense where you feel that you falling and just jerk. It a natural  thing as being human and can't do much about it.  I know some people get all bent out shape about SID. It is a sad thing but I'm not going worry myself every night or lose sleep over it.  It really can happen anytime while they are awake  not just sleeping. I leave things in Gods hands and pray really. That just my opinion.

Answer

If the baby's crib is more than 10 feet away from where you'll be putting the alarm device then this isn't the monitor for you . Also it falls off of the baby's for easily .

Answer

I hate this attitude that everything will be fine if you follow safe sleep practices! Many babies die of SIDS every year whose parents were practicing the ABCs of sleep!!! The owlet is nothing but another tool to keep your baby safe, like a car seat. It's not a guarantee, it's a precaution. I can't say enough good things about it and have found that it's worth every penny. You couldn't pay me to give it back.

Answer

I asked my doctor and she said the technology doesn't/can't do what it purports to do.

Answer

I want to try it for baby #2, but I hear a lot of the breathing and heart rate monitors are faulty sometimes.
