Technology For a Safer Night's Sleep: Owlet Baby Care

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDS, is the death of an infant that is unexplained even after being investigated. This typically happens to children under the age of one, and is a major cause of worry for new parents. The Owlet Baby Monitor is worn on the baby's foot like a sock, and monitors the infant's heart rate and blood oxygen levels. The monitor sends information to the parent's phone via bluetooth, and will alert you if your child stops breathing. Owlet uses the same technology used in hospitals, and has gone through over 100,000 hours of testing to ensure that the technology is accurate and helpful. This can even be used without a smart phone, as the base (which would be located in the parent's room) can also alert the parents if the child stops breathing. This technology can be extremely helpful in giving parents peace of mind, knowing that if something is wrong with their child, the Owlet will alert them. Other than using the Owlet baby monitor, placing the child on their back to sleep, keeping the child cool, and leaving stuffed animals, blankets, and pillows, out of the crib can also greatly reduce your child's risk of SIDS. The Owlet costs $249 and can be purchased on their website, Target, and Amazon. Below is a link to the website so you can further investigate this interesting technology.
