Has anyone employed the owlet foot sock at STM? Or will any FTMs be utilizing one? I was quite anxious during my pregnancy, and after he was admitted to the NICU, I became accustomed to checking the monitors for comfort. We’re probably taking him home tomorrow. Although my spouse believes that the owlet will only make me more anxious, I believe it would be worthwhile if it helps me catch something. Is there anyone who can offer advice?

After your baby’s NICU hospitalisation, you’re concerned about him. Doctors are unsure if owl socks help prevent SIDS, although they may appear like a method to check on him. False warnings from them could potentially increase your anxiety. Consider safe sleeping techniques instead, and discuss your concerns with your physician. They can make you feel better and offer advice on how to keep your infant safe. To help you feel more confident, organisations like the American Academy of Paediatrics provide information available online.

Here, FTD. We adore the Owlet. When we take him downstairs and he is beyond the base’s range, the alarm goes off, but it doesn’t go off accidentally when he is asleep.
The FDA just approved it for use as a real-time heart rate and oxygenation monitor, so if his levels fall, the red alert will sound immediately, alerting you in real time.
Having the chance to save him in the moment rather than learning about it too late is preferable, and this technology provides me with that chance. That alone helps us sleep and reduces a great deal of worry.
