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

This sock has brought so much peace to me during the newborn trenches. There would be times I would be tired from having 2 other toddlers and this gave me a peace of mind of sleeping and resting. I know it’s pricey but worth it. You can use after pay through the app to help you pay in installments. Otherwise the app is straight forward on how to install. I need the outlet and bassinet right next to each other so I haven’t had any issues with connectivity, I leave the sock charging through the day and it last battery all night and I left with a good amount remaining. The app also shows the heart rate and oxygen while sleeping so you can go back and see otherwise, it pretty loud to wake you up when the baby is kicking and moving. Thankfully haven’t had any other alert beside sock placement issue.

I use this every night & I love it! I love how it has a sock for left or right foot & 2 different sizes depending on their weight. It alerts you right away if the sock is not placed right or if it detected something abnormal. It detects heart rate, oxygen, sleeping light or deep or if they’re awake or active. It met my expectations

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.

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.

This sock has been the main reason why I've been able to get any sleep since bringing my baby home 4 months ago. Today it was the reason why I caught a BRUE incident where my baby stopped breathing and was unresponsive. It was one of the worst experiences of my life, but am so incredibly thankful for having bought this sock and that she's been wearing it every night or I might not have been able to catch this and help her this morning.CONS: Alarm goes off for false readings at times, when the battery is low if you didn't get it in the charger early enough for bed, will go off if you place it too close to another electronic device (like your monitor), or when your baby is moving too much. At 4 months old now, mine has figured out that if she just does leg lifts in the morning she gets a quick little dance party with the alarm going off and light flashing, she'll cheer as the alarm goes off, then excitedly looks at my bedroom door cause she knows I'm about to run out to make sure she's okay.PROS: Has allowed me to get rest and have some kind of reassurance that my baby is safe since she was born. Instructions say it's 1 month+, but we started using it early cause PPA and PPD made it hard for me to sleep. Caught BRUE incident today and allowed us to seek medical care asap to make sure she's okay.I know what I'm buying for my sister that's trying for her first for her baby shower. I will forever be grateful of this device!
