No need to look further, this is the one you want!
Is it expensive? Yes
Does it work? YES
We used the owlet sock monitor for my son from newborn until he was 10 months old and outgrew it. The owlet was a huge comfort, worth every penny, but it also gave lots and lots of false alerts and will not last more than a year because the O2 reader will no longer work once your babies foot reaches a certain thickness. I image its life is even shorter for babies with chubby feet. This monitor has never given us a single false alert and he will not outgrow it, until I am ready and comfortable that he no longer needs it. My son is transitioning from a swaddle, and we are using a Merlin magic suite to help with this process. I cant even see him breathing with the suite on, but by golly, this monitor sure can! My son also makes very poor sleeping decisions and prefers to sleep on his face. We got a breathable mattress and along with this monitor, I can sleep soundly and so can he. I am an extremely anxious mama, but honestly I trust this monitor. It does exactly what it says it will and its "eyes" work better than mine do. Again, yes its expensive, but you cant go wrong with this one. It's so worth the peace of mind and the many restful nights you have to come!
