As a new mama coming home from the hospital, one of the most frightening things for me (with both kids) was putting my little newborns down to sleep at night. As a parent, you want to do everything you can to keep your little one safe as they sleep. As a refresher, the American Pediatric Association, suggests the following for a safe sleep environment:
Even after following ALL of the aforementioned guidelines, I still had major anxiety when putting my little guys down to sleep at night. What if something happened and I wasn't aware? God forbid, what if my little guy stopped breathing in the middle of the night and I had no clue? Yes, morbid but honest thoughts that I seemed to have nightly. All in all, newborn babies and sleep can fill a new parent with major anxiety, which can cause even more restless nights for an already sleep-deprived parent, as it certainly did for me... that is, until I was introduced to the Owlet Smart Sock. It helps give me much-needed peace of mind. |
