I have severe PPA and purchased the owlet sock as a way to help me sleep. It has really helped me so far but over the past few days I’ve noticed that my son’s pulse rate jumps sporadically at times. Granted he is in the snoo so there is some movement, but I’ve seen it go from 99 bpm to 166 in a few seconds. What has me most concerned are a few dips I’ve noticed. One to 72, and several to 82, 84, 86 and 88. The longest I’ve seen it stay there is 6 seconds and then it recovers back to the 90s or low 100s. My question is, is this normal? He is 12 weeks and I’m just not sure if I’m reading too much into it. I’m located in Canada so I don’t get the live updates on oxygen so I’m not sure if his oxygen is being impacted. I’ve spoken to our pediatrician about this, as well as a walk in family doctor, neither are concerned but healthcare in Ontario is pretty horrible these days and doctors tend to ignore your concerns until you advocate them to the point where they take you seriously. Any advice would be welcome and appreciated.
