Owlet Dream Sock® - FDA-Cleared Smart Baby Monitor - Track Live Pulse (Heart) Rate, Oxygen in Infants - Receive Notifications

The Owlet Dream Sock has been a game changer for us. It’s easy to put on, connects quickly to the app, and gives clear readings throughout the night. I love being able to glance at my phone and see baby’s sleep trends and oxygen levels it makes those middle of the night wakeups less stressful.The fit is secure without being too tight, and the material is soft enough that baby doesn’t even notice it’s on. Setup was simple and the app is user-friendly. The alert sounds are loud and clear you won’t miss them, and they will definitely wake you up if needed. That extra reassurance really helps me sleep better.It’s not the cheapest option out there, but for the comfort and peace of mind it provides, I’d definitely recommend it.

I wish I had bought this sooner because it brings me so much peace of mind and I can finally sleep easier. My premie is 6 months old now and has started rolling over at night and I woke up one night to her face down in her crib. She was fine but hasn’t learned to turn her head while sleeping apparently. Now that she’s wearing this I can sleep again knowing that the alarm will wake me up. It tells me that she’s slept on her back all night so she hasn’t been up to her shenanigan’s since wearing it. I love how it tells me the sleep stage too when I check her app. I had a snuza with my older children and loved it but this is a million times better to me.The only con I have found is that sometimes it takes a little bit to hook up to the app but the base circle is green so it’s still monitoring her heart rate and sleep so I’m not too worried about that.Make sure to read the directions so that your little one doesn’t get any sores. I’m assuming it’s like a blister from rubbing on the same foot every night but we haven’t experienced anything like that. There’s also a larger sock for when they outgrow the smaller one.

I am a high anxiety mom. This gives me some peace of mind! I still check on my baby regularly (okay a lot), but this allows me to get some sleep knowing that he is being monitored!We bought this and the Nannit to try. I like the owlet better than Nannit because the sock can be used throughout the house whereas with the Nannit baby needs to be under the camera for it to work. You do not need to have the owlet camera for the sock to work, though I do recommend it!I also like that this tells baby’s heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and quality of sleep (light, deep, awake). The Nannit only counts baby’s breaths per min.It’s fairly easy to use and get set up! Sometimes it disconnects from our WiFi, but not often and that is probably more an issue with our WiFi. I would love for it to have a back up mode though if wifi goes out! The sock is soft and easy to put on. Multiple sizes come with it, look on the inside of the sock for sizing and left/right foot. I will say though that when we initially tried it our baby was 5.5 pounds, and it did not fit well. It alerted us that it was having trouble getting readings. After our baby put on a little weight it worked great!

So our second child ended up coming quite a bit early and because he was a premie we figured let's get this for peace of mind and to take some fear and stress off us. It ended up being the total opposite of that and just added to my stress and took quite a bit of time away for it to never work in the end.I was never able to get the sock to connect and set up with the app so in the end it just never worked. There is no way for it to be used without the app and so without the app being able to connect all I had an uncomfortable three hundred dollar sock. Every time I would try to set it up which ended up being many many times over the first two months it would try to connect but would put me in an endless loop that got me nowhere.I did try contacting the company but every time I did I was unable to get a hold of someone or called when they were closed. I will say that yes I could have tried harder or set an alarm when I knew there were open but thats the problem I have with this product, in the end you are buying this for a specific reason, the baby has a problem or for your peace of mind. Our baby came early and wanted a way to track and ease our mind and so taking all this extra work to try and make it work was a real hassle. My wife had issues following the birth and we were in and out of the hospital and so finding that extra time in the mix of the slurry my brain was at the time was hard to say the least.So in the end could I have done more to make it work? Sure, but if I am spending 300 bucks on a sock with the same tech as a 30 dollar finger O2 meter I expect it to not need all these extra hoops or there to be the problems like I faced during a time I wasn't able to handle fully. Thats why I paid the extra money in hopes of getting a problem free device.I will say that amazon was great and started a return for me but in the end by my own admission the time had passed from really thinking I could get it to work and in the end we really would have liked to have it. By the time that I gave up and decided to return it I was going to have to take a hit for a restock fee and not get the full amount refunded. It was one problem after another so in the end I just gave up and I think I might try and just give it away to someone and see if they can maybe get it to work.It's sad that in the end I was unable to get it to work and more so because I really would have loved to have an item like this during a time when we had so much going on. It would have been great to have had that piece of mind and take a little stress off us. Unfortunately it ended up adding to our stress and made nothing but problems and never worked. If you've got the time and mental where with all to try to make a 300 dollar sock work during a time where you are handling a newborn then maybe give it a try. I wouldn't recommend it however, my older kids Nintendo was a breeze to set up, a smart TV easy as pie with a guided set up, heck porting over a whole phone of passwords and apps is easy but make a 300 dollar sock link to an app? Makes me feel like a luddite.

The sock gives peace of mind. I also like the option to check on baby when I am at work. The “sleep window” is also accurate! Which is pretty cool that they can predict the time the baby needs a nap. I also liked the oxygen monitor feature when the little one was sick. You rotate to the other foot each night but around three months we threw the socks in the washer (without the monitor piece attached) and they looked new again.We take it with us on trips. It can monitor the baby with or without WiFi.I wish body temperature was also included. But heart rate and oxygen are good for now. It’s probably not with the $300 price tag but I am grateful that we have it. Add it to your registry so you can get a discount.
