SLEEPING PEACEFULLY WITH OWLET…
I wanted to give you guys an update since Kennedy has been born on our experience using the Owlet! Before Kennedy was born, the Owlet was one of my top baby must-haves I knew I needed. But after she was born and in the NICU, I realized how much more I’m glad I got it for her! After Kennedy was born, she was rushed to the NICU to get treated for an infection she contracted from me during delivery (you can read more about her birth story here). During her first 48 hours in the NICU, she had a couple sleep apnea episodes. Sleep apnea is when you forget to breath while you are sleeping. Since she was in the NICU her whole hospital stay, she luckily had a pulse auxiliary monitor hooked up to her to alert the nurses if her heart rate or oxygen levels were too low. Just a side note that sleep apnea in babies is a symptom of the infection she had. During her next 10 days in the NICU, she didn’t have another one of those episodes, but I was still nervous to bring her home without a monitor. Luckily I had the Owlet to give me peace of mind the first night we had her home from the hospital. While she was sleeping, I was able to check her heart rate and oxygen level at any time which really made me feel so much more calm. I couldn’t imagine not having the Owlet for our newborn baby! Out of all the baby products that I use every single day, the Owlet is one of them. It is my #1 newborn baby product that I have for Kennedy!
This is How it Works: the Owlet empowers you with the same technology hospitals use: pulse oximetry. That device is what is used to estimate one’s amount of blood flow and oxygen levels using the clip placed on the finger. That same technology is used for babies, and it is placed in a soft Smart Sock. Once the sock is placed properly on the baby’s foot, the Owlet is designed to sound an alert to parents if your baby stops breathing. It is also designed to alert the parents if your baby’s heart rate dips too low or spikes too high. You can also view your baby’s live vitals anywhere, right from your smartphone!
This is the perfect baby shower gift that I know any mom or mom to-be would love to get!
