" ... We purchased the angel care system but we weren't sure our daughter was going to sleep in her crib right away so we bought this "just in case" but ended up using this only for the first 6 months. ... "
" ... I've heard great reviews about this product and was reading that many moms tend to not get much sleep due to worrying whether or not their baby is breathing. ... "
" ... I couldn't sleep at night, I would lay staring at his chest making sure he was breathing. ... "
" ... Love having the peace of mind at night knowing that the baby is sleeping and still breathing. ... It allowed me to relax at night and sleep better--especially as the baby started to sleep longer stretches. ... I found that once the baby started sleeping on her stomach it was best to put the snuza on her hip and more towards her back. ... "
" ... We are able to sleep through the night knowung our baby is safe. ... "
" ... I am a medical professional and realize that SIDS can be prevented largely with good sleep environments and preventative measures but I’m also a first time mom and nothing puts your mind to rest like something tangible that’s watching after your baby. ... "
" ... The few nights that we forgot to put them on, they sleep just as well as the nights that we did put them on. ... "
" ... I can sleep peacefully. ... "

" ... So far I've had no false alarms. ... "
" ... Some people complain about false alarms. ... I would rather have a false alarm every single night than a baby that stopped breathing. ... "
" ... In the four months using it we have had 7 false alarms. ... "
" ... During the 2 hours, the alarm went off two times. ... Sure but with all the false alarms I will try another company. ... "
" ... I'm not sure if mine is just defective or what, but the alarm is not loud at all. ... "
" ... I thought it would help my peace of mind with my first child but it anything the false alarm made it worse. ... "
" ... We rather have false alarms than not have this product. ... "
" ... So it gave a false alarm, which scares the crap out of you. ... "

" ... I am a mom of a 4.5 month old and I just simply love this product and want others to know how wonderful it is too! ... "
" ... We used ours pretty much 24/7 the first 6 weeks. ... Now we use it just at night and the replacement I put in is still beeping green. ... "
" ... 6 months later and it's working like a charm. ... "
" ... And the battery has been working solid for 3.5 months now. ... "
" ... If not for the Snuza, I don't think I would have slept the entire first year of his life. ... "

" ... I can't seem to find one that will last for more than 2 nights, though the original battery that comes with the product lasted for over a month ... "

" ... I haven’t had any false alarms with this product and it is comfortable for her to wear. ... "
" ... I feel much better knowing that she is wearing her snuza. ... "
" ... You have to make sure to secure it nicely so it doesn't fall out of its position but other than that I loved that it has the option to make a ticking noise every time baby breathes. ... "
" ... It went off once the other day because it had slid to the side of his diaper, but as long as you make sure it's really secured and upright, it will stay put! ... Truly gives you a good feeling to lay your baby down for a rest without feeling neurotic or worried. ... "
" ... He took a deep breath, and fell back asleep. ... "
" ... So that's just a nice new option for you if you're uncomfortable with the skin contact like I was. ... "
" ... The peace and comfort of rolling over and seeing that faint green light flashing with each breath is wonderful. ... "
" ... it is very snug on his diaper. ... he is now rolling around all over his crib and it still stays on tightly. ... "

" ... I am so tired of returning this product and waiting for a new one to arrive. ...

" ... It's very easy and works like a charm - simply take a snug-fitting onesie, grab a patch of extra fabric (something stiff-ish works best) and cut it into a small pocket just big enough to slide the Snuza clip into (you may want to fold over the top edge a few times to give it a thicker part to clip onto more securely), then sew/glue the pocket on the onesie so that the Snuza will sit on chest just above the umbilical cord stump. ... "
" ... They're a little difficult to slide onto the boys' diapers, but stay snugly on once placed. ... "
" ... For the most part, the device stays very secure on my little girl and she is quite small (almost 7 lbs). ... "
" ... You have to make sure to secure it nicely so it doesn't fall out of its position but other than that I loved that it has the option to make a ticking noise every time baby breathes. ... "
" ... Works well, stays attached and my daughter doesn't mind it at all. ... "
" ... It stays put very well. ... "
" ... We folded my daughter’s diaper over once to make it a snug fit on the diaper and it worked perfect. ... "
" ... As long as it's a snug cover it works perfectly! ... "

" ... We've used this since the day my daughter came home from the hospital, and I love that I can hear a quiet little beep every time she breathes at night! ... "
" ... I was so nervous and woke up with every little sound she made so that I could make sure she was still breathing. ... Once we got the snuza I only had to listen for the light click noise to know that she was breathing and to be able to count her breaths, I'm also a peds nurse :), it allowed me to sleep at night. ... "
" ... My anxiety was keeping me awake at night, constantly checking on my sound asleep baby. ... "
" ... This allows me to sleep much better knowing that if there is an emergency the alarm will sound! ... "
" ... If she still doesn't in another 8 seconds, an alarm will sound. ... "
" ... If your baby is a stomach sleeper, the sound might be muffled. ... "
" ... It gives us peace of mind to know that it will sound an alarm if he doesn't move for a minute. ... "
" ... Love the beeping as well I thought I’d hate it but it’s nice to hear while I’m dozing off. ... "

"
" ... My daughter is now sleeping better knowing she has the extra protection to safe guard against SIDS. ... "
" ... Heck, we even used it on the blanket he was wrapped in! ... "
" ... For piece of mind this was worth it's weight in gold. ... "
" ... Folding the top of the diaper sometimes helps. ... "
" ... The owlette is a cute device you slip onto the baby's foot, but unfortunately, you get many false alarms when babies kick the thing off their little feet. ... "

" ... The monitor has features like the ability to enable a clicking sound every time he/she breathes (so you can have an aural sign they are breathing) and also a green light that flashes at every breath. ... It definitely has a small learning curve as to how to use it and the two buttons, but it's relatively quick and painless. ... "
" ... We find the flash reassuring (and there is a mode where you can turn on a clicking sound for each breath, too). ... "
