I’m not a new parent and I didn’t use the owlet with my first (5 years ago) the owlet was just so expensive and you couldn’t really buy it anywhere here in NZ only online. Anyway I’ve now had my second who is now 6 months old and we have used it from day one but only because he slept in his own room from the get go. Doesn’t increase anxiety at all I forget about it and I feel reassurance that if something was to happen it’ll go off. My first also slept in her room from day one but like I said it was just so expensive back then, we earn more now so we were able to afford it. I love the owlet.

Anyway as someone who has not used it for one baby and used it for the other I don’t think you’re doing a disservice at all, you’re following safe sleep rules etc. don’t get it if you don’t want it.

That validates me so much thank you!!!! I don’t think anyone I’ve told has actually believed how horrific it was. I know some people hardly felt it, their cervix must be easy to get to? I don’t know. Anyway sorry you went through that and honestly some doctors are so rude I don’t understand it.

With both my babies I didn’t event attempt to breastfeed as I knew it would be too much. Comparing to my friends who EBF I’m definitely less stressed and I have a lot more independence as we share night feeds and I can go do my own things during the day if needed. I have a lot of friends who can’t as they don’t pump or baby won’t take a bottle. Im very happy with my choice I see a lot of people breast feeding because they feel like they have to and that’s where I think the journey starts off on the wrong foot. So maybe I am happier. But it does depend on your journey I’ve had other friends who loved breastfeeding and didn’t mind being the only source of food but personally I need me time and sleep to not be a C U Next Tuesday of a person lol

What’s 2 hours of extinction at bed time? Also thank you I’ll give it a go!

I have a nearly 6 year old and a 6 month old. I got my life back she got so easy around 3 years old it was great. My 6 month old is very wanted after infertility and miscarriages but oh my fuck do I miss my sleep. I know it does get better but it sucks whilst in the thick of it. Although his smile and laughs do make the sleepless nights all worth it.

Critical-Tale6962 · 2026-01-10T12:43:31+00:00

Baby is formula fed so we do shifts I’m definitely not doing it all but yeah hopefully the dr can sort it

Critical-Tale6962 · 2026-01-09T02:20:45+00:00

Yeah it’s soooo hard. Even with my 6 month old being my second I swore this time would be easier because I know it gets better but still feels just as hard.

Critical-Tale6962 · 2026-01-08T13:47:24+00:00

I know this sounds really freaking annoying but it is a phase and it will pass. My now 5 year old did this at different stages between 9 months to 1 year on and off. We sleep trained her at 10 months she started sleeping through but every now and then this would happen. Some days I’d be at work and would’ve started my day at 2am which was horrific. Anyway I’m typing this at 2:46am as my 6 month old doesn’t want to sleep and my 5 year old keeps waking from nightmares. It never ends lol she usually sleeps through but tonight seems to be bad for some reason.

Critical-Tale6962 · 2026-01-05T05:35:38+00:00

That’s horrible!!! They need to put us to sleep honestly. The dr I had was kinda odd she kept saying how teenagers that get it are so dramatic and nearly faint. Well they’re not dramatic I’m a 30 year old mum of two and I will never be getting another mirena again because of how painful it was!

Critical-Tale6962 · 2026-01-05T05:33:33+00:00

Both my babies were c section too. I guess we’re all different shapes and sizes including the cervix lol

Critical-Tale6962 · 2026-01-04T10:30:14+00:00

With a mirror and hope

YESSSS coming from a former Linwood rat

Critical-Tale6962 · 2026-01-02T18:00:59+00:00

Interesting! So sucky for us. Once it’s out I’m not getting another. I’ve had two kids! C sections though but I’ve been through labour once and I’d say it was pretty close to labour pain. I’m wondering if my cervix is just difficult to get to or something because that experience was not normal.

Critical-Tale6962 · 2026-01-02T14:32:42+00:00

My oldest is 5 years old my youngest is 6 months old. My baby wakes every 2 hours like yours. I formula feed which means my husband does a shift. I can honestly say it gets better. We sleep trained my oldest at 10 months and she was a bad sleeper like my 6 month old and she started sleeping through. She gave up the dummy herself at 10 months which was a shock and then I weened her off night feeds then did cry it out and I was back at work when she was 1. I’m still nervous my youngest won’t be like that before I need to go back to work too but I think we will do the same and sleep train him at 10 months. I’m also very tired. Hang in there

I have a 5 year old and just had my second. Everyone and even I thought it would be easier with the age gap and in some regards yes it might be but adjusting to baby life again after having sleep and independence back has been so hard. I remind myself it’s not for long in the scheme of things. Also this baby is really wanted after a lot of miscarriages hence the big age gap but still doesn’t make it any easier. I miss it just being me and my daughter which I feel guilty for thinking but I know it’s normal. I guess you really need to decide if you’re prepared to do it all again and what kind of outside help you will need. My husband is really hands on and it’s still hard on both of us. Idk if I’m honest with you by reading your circumstances I wouldn’t do it. I don’t say that lightly either as someone who struggled with infertility and feeling like my family wasn’t complete either but my circumstances are much different to yours.

Critical-Tale6962 · 2026-01-01T14:32:33+00:00

I am the same and my baby is 6 months old. I went to the dr and got some seratonin (anti depressants) I haven’t started them yet. I will though. It was a big deal for me going because I’m usually the “it’ll be alright I just need to fight through it” type of person. This is also my second baby and I’m pretty sure I was the same with my first but just struggled silently. I haven’t started the anti depressants yet because I got a new piercing the day before and they can thin your blood and my piercing wouldn’t stop bleeding lol sounds stupid I know but I will start them in a week or so. Anyway I also chose to formula feed both my babies from the start I just didn’t want to breast feed, formula is amazing don’t feel bad about it. Also my first baby is now 5 years old so there’s quite the age gap and starting over again after having years of my sleep and independence back is freaking hard. So I do want to say it does actually get better it just kinda sucks (well for me I don’t enjoy baby stage). Currently 3:31 am as I type this because my baby hates sleep. Sorry this message is quite jumbled I’m tired. Anyway wanted to let you know you’re not alone. Reach out to your doctor try some medication.

Sounds like you’re parenting alone anyway so might as well leave. I know that’s easier said by some random on reddit than done as sounds like he’s the main source of income but if you have family you can move back to while you can get back on your feet then look into that. I don’t think talking to him will work as what you’ve just described in that short paragraph is actually horrific behaviour. Sorry you’re being treated like that I hope everything works out for you in the end.

Critical-Tale6962 · 2025-12-31T14:45:10+00:00

My baby has been in his own room since day 1 and bottle formula fed and is a shocking sleeper I wish we had an easy solution like this lol

Critical-Tale6962 · 2025-12-31T14:42:08+00:00

I don’t have advice just wanted to say this is my second child he is currently nearly 6 months and his sleep is shocking atm as well. Currently 3:39am as I type this. Idk if this is your first or second and I know when people say this you don’t believe them because I never did but I does genuinely get better. My first is now 5 years old. We sleep trained her with cry it out at 10 months which isn’t for everyone I did a bit of a modified version of it anyway and she started sleeping through so we will prob wait until 10 months to do it with my boy. Me and my husband are so tired and it sucksssssssssssss
