BEMPU Belly Button Breathing Movement Monitor and Alert System

*No False Alarms!*Having tested several breathing monitors, I liked its strategy: it vibrates initially to prompt movement and sounds an alarm if no response is detected. Also, the sensor is very sensitive (I can see in the app) so that’s also maybe why there are few false alarms. Useful buy.

I had some complications with my baby and we had to be in the NICU for a week. At times my baby also had low oxygen. I bought this to be extra careful. It’s a small clip on the baby's clothes/diaper and it beeps and if the baby stops moving. It was very reliable (I tested it myself a few different ways), so I definitely felt more relaxed using it. It also looks cute!

I ordered this right before my baby turned two months because a lot of people say that the risk of SIDS goes up around 2-4 months. I could not justify spending $300 on the Owlet but wanted something that would at least alert me if something was wrong. This breathing monitor is very basic but it does the job for me. I clip it onto the top of my son’s diaper every night and it has only fallen off twice. If the monitor doesn’t sense movement in 15 seconds it will vibrate and stimulate movement. If it doesn’t sense movement in another 15 seconds it will sound an alarm. I have had a few false alarms when the monitor didn’t have a good connection to his skin which were scary but atleast I knew it worked. It has never come disconnected. The battery lasts a week and only takes about an hour to charge fully. It has never bothered my son or left marks where it was applied all night so I have no reason to think he’s uncomfortable. For $40, it is worth the price as long as you are realistic on the features you really want/need!EDIT 8/30: The indicator light has completely stopped working on this monitor. The alarm still works but some of my peace of mind is gone because I cannot look for the green light at night in the dark. I hate this because I’ve recommended this product to a lot of my friends and even posted it in mom groups on Facebook but now it has stopped working after only 2 months.Edit 9/4: My monitor is still not working, but I wanted to edit my review to talk about the company. I didn’t request a refund or reach out to the company because it’s been over 30 days since I ordered the product. Without asking the company refunded me for my purchase. That is very appreciated and not at all expected. I have adjusted my review to 3 stars to account for the customer service of this company.

Seems to work well when tested and does alert and vibrate. Gives peace of mind while on car rides when you can’t see baby breathing as easily or while sleeping. However, the device does take a longer than 30 seconds to alert when breathing stops based on my testing which is a problem.
