Owlet (or other)

Does/did anyone use the Owlet or some other home monitoring system for newborns?

Everyone I know says, “Doctors don’t recommend them because they’re not proven to prevent SIDS.” But my question is HOW? How can something that literally alerts you if your child stops breathing NOT prevent SIDS? I don’t get it…

My twins are in the NICU and one keeps forgetting to breathe for 5-20 seconds. She usually Self-resolves but sometimes needs a little nudge. They won’t send her home till they’re comfortable but still, I’d feel better with a monitor.

Please share your experiences with these and let me know which one you recommended, or if you don’t recommend it, why? I am genuinely asking because I don’t know anyone who has one so I’m assuming there is a reason for that but at the same time, it sounds like it would be so worth it.

EDIT: thank you so much for all who replied!!! I think I may end up buying 2 of them today just to give me peace of mind. I just wish they weren’t so expensive lol

Also to whoever is downvoting people for simply participating in a respectful discussion, you’re a weirdo
