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

WE LOVE THIS SOCK!! As a FTM I was sooo anxious and paranoid about her sleep so when my husband found this sock we ordered it right away and now we have used it every single night since she was about 3 months old. It’s completely a part of our bedtime routine. The accuracy is pretty spot on with maybe a second or two delay when it comes to reading her heart beat. And I always know by looking at the app if she is about to wake up from monitoring any elevated heart rate and then I’m able to rush in the room and get her back to deep sleep before she has even fully waken up. It’s also helped us track her sleep in terms of how long she will sleep in one stretch depending on how active we are that day, and I feel like it has allowed us to plan out activities during the day that help her sleep better at night, or avoid her becoming overtired, etc. I know some reviews had issues with connectivity but we haven’t really had that, maybe once or twice the app disconnected from the sock but it fixed itself pretty quickly. I would definitely recommend this for any first time parents, it just provides some much needed peace of mind and if you are like us and love to look at data (lol) and want to make sure your baby is getting enough restful sleep, this has been a real game changer for us.

Go ahead and do yourself a favor and buy this product! It has SAVED me multiple times. Being a first time mom and having that anxiety when you put them to sleep the first few nights is relentless. But knowing I have this on their foot and it’ll alert me if anything is off is such a life saver. It’s so easy to use and set up. The sound when it alerts you is LOUD on the device itself and your phone. I have had some connectivity issues but I just unplug it and plug it back in and it fixes it. That might me on my end though as it runs on WiFi and my WiFi isn’t the greatest.

I love our owlet sock! My baby was in the Nicu for oxygen related issues and this gives me a peace of mind now that we are home and allows me to sleep comfortably knowing my baby is being monitored at all times and I will be alerted if something changes. It has also helped me learn her sleep pattern better. The battery lasts for extended periods of time. The only downside is the smell after a few uses. It tends to hold onto the stinky baby feet smell. But other than that I would recommend it to all my friends.

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.

Let me say, this thing right here. Is the ONLY reason I get sleep. I didn’t know that I’d have such bad postpartum anxiety, so I didn’t purchase this until a couple weeks after my girl was born. Unfortunately it doesn’t work fully until your baby is a month old (will NOT alert any issues or if your baby’s oxygen/heart is low)- but when it does, it’s amazing. I owe this sock my life. This will be the one thing that is a must in my book, and will definitely have for future babies.I have had 2 issues with it saying low oxygen when that wasn’t true, but I think the sock was too loose because my girl is a kicker. It’s definitely terrifying when that happens, but a false alert is better than no alert at all. 2 false alerts in nearly 5 months is just fine for peace of mind, in my book.

I know parents always debate if the owlet is worth it because of that price tag. I say get it. I love being able to see my son’s vitals on my phone. I sleep so much better knowing he’s being monitored and if anything happens my owlet will alarm. My fear of SIDS has dramatically decreased. This has dramatically improved my anxiety.My only complaint is the base has a very small range before it disconnects from the sock and starts alarming. If I walk 10 feet away from my son’s crib to feed him in the middle of the night, the alarm will go off nonstop until we’re in range again. Now imagine that happening every 3 hours all night, waking up the entire house every time.
