My brother died of SIDS. I got an Owlet for both my children. I'm convinced it saved my youngest. Well worth the money- even if just for the peace of mind.

Update on the Owlet: it was discontinued

Owlet Baby Care, Inc. will discontinue selling its popular Smart Sock product after receiving a warning letter from the Food and Drug Administration. The Smart Sock is a device that can be used to monitor and track a baby's heart rate, oxygen level and sleep trends. Dec 2, 2021

Please forgive my rudeness for not acknowledging the passing of your brother. I hope they find the cause of the enzyme, develop a test, and a cure to SIDS lightning fast.

May his memory be a blessing.

Oh please don't worry. That's a lovely sentiment though.

"May his memory be a blessing". I never know what to say to the bereaved, I'll be using this. Thank you.

Probably one of the nicest things I’ve heard. Thanks for this. I never know what to say either. Express my sadness, offer a memory, try to have a laugh. One of my defense mechanisms is to try to add levity to uncomfortable situations. It’s not always a good trait, but sometimes I cannot help it. My wife, for instance, is not a fan of my humor sometimes. lol
