Owlet Dream Sock - FDA-Cleared Smart Baby Monitor with Live Health Readings and Notifications

Purchased after my infant spent a few nights in the hospital with low oxygen saturation. Unfortunately the experience was truly horrendous. One of the worst baby products on the market. Doesn’t work well. App is terrible and tries to get you to pay for a subscription for more information that isn’t even accurate. I spent more time awake because of the faulty alarm going off than I did for dealing with my baby being awake. This was truly one of the most frustrating products I have ever purchased. For $300 you would think the product would at least work for more than a couple hours at a time?

Bad item, it disconnects a lot and takes long time to connect again.

Was excited to try this Owlet for my newborn granddaughter, but after just 2 nights we noticed a red mark on her foot. After looking online at other reviews it appears this owlet sock is defective and has caused burns to many babies. What a shame this has occurred to any newborn. I will be returning and filing complaint with FDA and Owlet company

I am so glad we have this, I’ve never once regretted this purchase. The peace of mind it’s allowed me to have is worth it. I’m an anxious person, even more so when we brought my full term NICU baby home after spending a week on oxygen because of respiratory failure. I was a mess worrying about her and made this an impulse purchase the day before she came home. But having it never caused more anxiety for me. I know it will have a different effect on everyone, so that will be something to consider, but for me personally, it eased my mind to track her oxygen and make sure she was okay adjusting to life at home. And still 8 months later, I’m still using it every night. I’ve never had any false alerts or connection issues the entire time I’ve been using it.

I bought this to have piece of mind for my son who was born premature. However, the cuffs were too big, so I ended up returning it.

I purchased two of these when my twins were discharged from the NICU. Postpartum can be a tough time for mom and babies, especially while getting to know each other while hormones are doing their thing. I can honestly say that Owlet Dream Sock saved my sanity! I was able to get the sleep that I needed, because without these, I would stay awake just make sure that baby is breathing. I was also able to learn their sleeping habits, and tweak our routines to encourage the twins to sync their sleep schedules. In the past I would have had to log manually and guess, and I was never able to stick with it (with my older children). That method would have been extremely difficult with two babies. I was able to pick up both socks in store, which was really nice. I was afraid of ordering from various online companies because I didn’t want to risk getting a defective product. The packaging was really nice, the socks are definitely protected from any potential mishandling during shipping. Each box includes a sensor, a charging station, two left socks and two right socks. The socks hold the sensor in place on their foot. You get one small and one medium for each foot. Babies grow quickly, so it was nice to be able to have the next size up on hand. It was also nice to have both sides available in the box. Different clothing companies place their zippers on different sides, so I just chose the one that worked best at the time. It was convenient to have the backup for emergency messes- babies have a lot of output! I like that we have the option to order additional sizes and colors as well. Ours have held up, because I followed manufacturer instructions for cleaning. You do need to clean them occasionally as feet get sweaty. Setup was straightforward, and requires home WiFi, and then you download their app. First you connect your phone to the products WiFi, and then follow the instructions for connecting the product to your WiFi. Edit their profiles in the app, and take time to click around. The features are fantastic! I’ve shared the values with their pediatrician when they were sick. It was definitely helpful to monitor their pulse rates and oxygen levels at home. It helped me make decisions very quickly. I definitely count this purchase as one of our greatest blessings. I would buy it again in a heartbeat!

I loved the comfort and reassurance I got knowing my baby was monitored through the night. I did not experience false alarms unless the sock was not on properly. I have bought 2 dream socks but both had issues with the sensor after about 13/14 months. This was disappointing because it was expensive to replace just the sensor but also just out of warranty. However, I would rebuy!

Great idea and I like it while it’s working but it gives false stressful alerts. Baby can be super still asleep and it will still alert to check its placement or that it “fell off” It’s given us red alerts when just finished placing it on and nothing registered the app yet. It’s honestly caused more lost sleep because it won’t shut off. I’m sad it’s not more accurate for the price it is. I REALLY wanted to love it :(

This product provides such a peace of mind, especially as a first time parent! Getting the real-time alerts was extremely helping in checking in on my little one as often as I needed. This is a must-have for all parents!

The owlet sock works great in providing peace of mind while baby is sleeping. We have had no issues and appreciate this technology!

Love it! Great peace of mind product. We love to travel and are waiting for a travel version.

This has been a nightmare. Constantly logs out, requires hours of troubleshooting and contacting customer service, you must have 2.4 ghz wifi so crosses on wifi constantly and app acts irregularly. They need to work out the bugs on this expensive device. Wish I would have bought another type or brand. I hate this thing.

We love our Owlet — it gives us such peace of mind as first-time parents. Aside from the O2 and heart rate stats, I appreciate the “movement” feature, letting us know if our baby is wiggly or peaceful. I think that will be especially useful in determining if he’s awake/active once he moves from the bassinet in our room to the crib in his nursery.

The sock is doesn’t give consistent readings. If you open and close the app in one second you’ll get something different. The design of the sick makes it move and not get readings and will beep all night on you

This helped me sleep at night. Granted, I'm a first time mom so my anxiety was of the roof but I love this and would buy it 10 times over if I had to. I haven't has any false alarms so far and I like seeing how much sleep my baby is getting

Company is a bunch of thieves

Worth every penny for peace of mind. It can be a little finicky sometimes with adjustment alarms but it’s not a big deal - I’m very grateful for this product,

Owlet is the worst company ever, it creates a product that burns children feet and customer service doesn’t care about your child. So many flaws about this company. Target is amazing, hope they don’t purchase and sell product with this kind of company who can care less about your child when they are making a child’s product

We bought this for peace of mind and it does the opposite. False alerts, or lost connection alerts several times a night. It’s loud and wakes the whole house up - including our newborn. The app lags horribly and it makes it nearly impossible to know if it’s a current reading or old one. It is nice to be able to see the average O2 and heart rate but I would not purchase again.

this device is the only reason i’m able to sleep soundly at night with a newborn! we practice safe sleep, but SIDS is a huge concern. This device gives me a peace of mind, with the tracking of her heart rate and oxygen level. i would highly recommend this to any parent!
