I bought a used older version of the Owlet sock and now it kept giving me sock was misplaced alert when trialling it out during the day. I don’t dare putting it on at night because of this…. Last thing I need id baby being woken up to the annoying alert song.

Am I doing something wrong or is this common? Any tips and tricks on how I could still use it

We had to combo feed due to late milk arrival and slow weight gain so I have been actively waking her up to feed every 2-3 hours from the start of the prior feed. She was born 3.74kg, went down to 3.4kg and has just surpassed 3.8kg at 3 weeks.

I aim for 30 min at the breast followed by 25ml of formula given through an SNS system which takes another 15-20 min, sometimes longer. I find my LO, once she gets food, diaper change and burping, she finally wakes up… and is really hard to settle for another 30-40 min (she is not unhappy or crying, just looking around, curious). And once she falls asleep like 2-3h later it is basically shortly time for me to wake her up to feed again. I try to let her sleep 1-2h at day and 2-3h during the night but feel horrible cutting her sleep short in favour of food? And cutting out any quality time despite her being awake trying to force her to sleep by the boob.

I’m at a wits end with this and worry about her 😭, she was slow to gain weight and my milk supply wasn’t great so feeding feels important but at the same time I worry about her lack of sleep and consistently long wake times.
