The Gadget that Allowed Me to Sleep!

So, as a first-time Mom, I was completely unable to sleep easily, and it wasn’t simply because of the babies frequent needs, whether they be for a fresh diaper or a meal. I found I couldn’t sleep because I had so much anxiety that something would happen to him. I feared SIDS would take him, and I couldn’t find peace enough to get rest.

While looking up SIDS statistics for the millionth-or-so time, I found the very gadget that would allow me to sleep! I found something called the Snuza Hero. This is really and truly the most WONDERFUL thing ever invented, and I find its value to be greater for me than any other thing we have for the baby.

It doesn’t do the false alarm thing very often. After consulting with our son’s doctor, I found out that babies regularly stop breathing for 10 seconds or more. What the Snuza does is wait for fifteen seconds and then vibrates, waking the baby. After the third time, if the baby doesn’t awaken, a LOUD alarm sounds, so you can go and wake up your baby.

Our son is now five months old and the Snuza has gone off four times legitimately. He might have awoken himself each of those times, but he might not have. I lost one Snuza, and also lost sleep until the replacement showed up. It was a wonderful investment over all. I would recommend it hands down, if for no other reason than peace of mind.
