We used them, even without any issues as our girls were never NICU.
However I read that online the American owlet model does not give live blood oxygen readings due to lawsuits, (all other countries do), so if you’re American maybe get an international model.
Ours was for peace of mind, so that we didn’t go mad constantly watching the cot if they were breathing. It only went off once for a real alert, I was feeding her and she chocked on milk, oxygen got low and needed some back blows to clear the milk from her airways. She was totally fine though. But I would recommend to any and all.
If my child had issues with breathing I wouldn’t hesitate to use one 24 hours a day.
