Hi!

I am a first time parent. And I have a spare Apple Watch. Is it okay if I use Apple Watch for baby health monitoring? Like specially to track baby's sleep quality and heart rate at night?

Anyone tried this before?

TIA!

No.

It not designed for use by any under the early teens at all and most of the health sensors are calibrated for adults.

It would be better to use any one of the numerous purpose built newborn vitals monitors. They’re available from multiple stores and sites.
