PSA: The Owlet sock monitor is worth every penny if you're anxious about SIDS

Dec 211 min read

Our daughter is 3 months old and I'm still in the paranoid phase where I check if she's breathing like every 20 minutes. Someone on this forum recommended the Owlet and I was skeptical about dropping $300 but honestly? Game changer for my anxiety. It monitors heart rate and oxygen levels and alerts your phone if anything's off. Might be overkill for some people but for us it's meant I can actually sleep instead of staring at a baby monitor all night. Just saying if you're a worrier like me, might be worth looking into.

Happy to hear this helped you. The paranoia at 3 months is so real that any tool that gives you even a little breathing room is valuable. Congrats on the new baby btw

The paranoia phase is real and honestly the Owlet helped more with my anxiety than with actual safety. Just knowing you have something monitoring takes the edge off the constant checking. Worth it for the peace of mind alone

3 months is the rough phase for sure. The Owlet doesn't prevent SIDS but it does give you the space to actually sleep instead of obsessively checking. That's worth the money imo

We used the Owlet for the first 4 months and while it was pricey, waking up without the constant dread of "did she stop breathing" was actually huge. Sometimes parenting anxiety needs a tool to address it
