Owlet Dream Sock - Smart Wearable Baby Breathing and Movement Monitor with Live Heart Rate & Oxygen Alerts

This is a great product, when it actually works. It seemed to work ok the first few times but maybe a week in every single time I would put it on my newborn it would start beeping that the placement was wrong, even though my newborn wasn’t moving at all. Not to mention how frustrating it is when it takes you a while to put your baby to sleep and then it starts beeping for no reason. I gave it several chances until I was fed up and returned it. Also, you pay $300 and it didn’t even include the subscription which is an additional $10 a month if you want to see all the data.

I started using the dream sock as soon as I came home with my premie that was only 5 pounds. (Yes I am aware that the sock is intended for 6 pounds and above) As a first time mom with severe anxiety, worsened by my baby having breathing problems, this sock helped to ease so much anxiety that I had at night when my husband and I would go to sleep. I have recommended it to so many coworkers of mine as something they definitely need for when their babies arrive!

Did not pair to the base spent days communicating back and forth with owlet and they said things a known problem and sending me a replacement base would not fix it

Unfortunately I can’t give this a good review. I’ve tried using it for 5 consecutive nights, and have only been able to get it to work once. It continues to say it’s lost connection despite being right next to the plug and being charged. It also beeps incessantly when it doesn’t work and does not have any trouble shooting feedback so it just keeps beeping unless I shut down the entire device. I’ve also called the help line. Given the price point of this device, I’m disappointed. I’ll keep trying another night or 2 and then return it if it still won’t work. I gave 3 stars because I imagine it’s a good product if it actually works.

Target is selling Items used. Got this sock late at night ready to use it for my baby. When I opened the package I realized that the sensor part was extremely dirty and smelled like medicine.

This thing will not stop going off. We do not have a big house, but if you swaddle your baby with one blanket the device will not connect from one room over. If it can’t read through a thin baby blanket, how would it know if my baby is in trouble.

The app is pretty garbage and the Bluetooth range is quite short. However, the peace of mind knowing my child is OK in the middle of the night is worth every penny, even with the issues. It’s also nice for sleep tracking.

I would remove the sock and place it on to the charging base station. However when attached to the base station the sock would alarm stating it was loose and off the child. I think a connectivity issue was going on between the base and monitor. The company did resent a new monitor but the base issue continued. Ended up returning the sock. The company was responsive and helpful. However the product had issues.

We use it every night. The only thing is, I wish the Bluetooth was stronger… we are constantly getting connectivity alerts in the next room changing night time diapers.. it alarms and wakes up one of us even though one of us is with the baby. My speaker works s multiple rooms over, why doesn’t this??

Warning, this product will fail after one year of use. Invest in something else. I’m unbelievably upset by the resolution for my sensor issue. My sensor stopped working properly today out of nowhere and the only solution given to me was to purchase a new one at 50% off. I have been a loyal owlet customer since 2019. This is my second owlet purchase. This one just bought in Jan 2024. So I’m under two years and have invested in this product twice now. This is a faulty product and should be treated as such. I will be sure to let it be known to friends to invest in a better product if owlet can’t guarantee the product for more than one year.

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?

I want to start off with saying that I do love our owlet sock. It gives us the peace of mind which is exactly what we were looking to have. However, the amount of times I have just gotten my baby to sleep and the owlet sock alarm goes off saying it lost connection yet the base station is right next to where we are the sock is not too tight or too loose and in good placement has got to be the most frustrating thing in the entire world. It will not stop going off until I take the sock off my baby put it back on the base station and try it all over again but now I have an awake baby. I will also say the app is a hit or miss with working and wifi cuts in and out. I would overall recommend the product but for the money you spend it is one of the most frustrating items when that alarm goes off for no reason.

this was given to us as a gift so I'm not even going to bother trying to reach out about replacement or warranty or anything but it seems to be an issue look at the 1 star reviews. The sock is constantly disconnecting and setting off the alarm even when we are in the same room it says sock out of range. last night it went off 26 times. I was really excited to get this and know for sure my baby is sleeping safely but at this point if i cant come up with a solution its pointless. i gave it 2 stars because again love the idea just need to work out the kinks

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

I found owlet when I was a first time mother, When I found out I was going to have a premie baby I started searching the web for a medical peace of mind.. 23 and young and a had lost a sister to SIDS at 3 months.. We got our first owlet and it was the BEST PURCHASE WE HAD EVER MADE. At only 10 months our son had gotten pneumonia and we had no idea he was struggling so badly but LUCKILY we had our owlet and it let us know our babies oxygen levels were dropping down into the 89-88 percent ranges and we rushed him to the ER… These monitors saved my babies life because who knows what could’ve happened if we didn’t have it… Our son had no labored breathing or signs of struggle other then a cough and congestion… We used one for him and our Second child. They are now 7 and 3 and we still use them when they get sick!! We will always always be so utterly thankful for owlet! I will be buying a new one as soon as I can afford it ours unfortunately broke… BUT ITS WORTH EVERY PENNY AND THE PEACE OF MIND. So thank you owlet I am Forever greatful for your product.

When our son was born he spent his first few weeks of life in the NICU for his breathing issues. We bought the dream sock the day we took him home and it has given us the greatest peace of mind overnight knowing if anything happens we will be notified instead of me lying awake in worry. The app is very informative and easy to navigate as well. My only reason for not rating 5 stars is that connecting it to WiFi can be such a pain. The process is super frustrating and I feel that there was still kinks to be worked out there.

I would rate this a 2 at best. If the child is in light or heavy in sleep, the graph is slow and behind. The sock disconnects very easily even if you are in the same room. We have been standing right next to the home base and it’s alerted us that the sock was disconnected. We double checked sock placement and everything is correct. The only good time to read and analyze the app is when it’s on the child. Once you take the sock off, it would be nice to give you a summarized sleep from the previous night. The one thing I would say is that the alerts are loud. Not sure if I’d buy again or recommend anyone to purchase it.

I know some think the owlet is controversial but I couldn't do without it. After 3 years of IVF our baby was born a bit premature and had a BRUE at 1 month. ( yeah, I didn't know this was a thing either!!!). I ordered it same day at 2 am in the ER, spent another 8 hours at the hospital monitoring. Thankfully we haven't had another incident and right when we stopped using it baby came down with croup. I was glad I could put her back in our room and feel comfortable knowing she was not having difficulties breathing, and when she WAS! I was able to monitor her O2 to recognize when we needed to intervene.

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

Having our baby wear the sock gives us a good piece of mind and it also is extremely frustrating 6/7 nights. It goes off that it is not placed right, out of range, or something else. We will be in the same room nothing blocking the signal and it will go off. It goes off if my knee is between baby’s foot and case station. It goes off multiple times almost every night. I end up shutting it off while putting our baby to bed because it continues to go off multiple times.
