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

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!

Worth the money, it's great and gives us peace of mind, it even predicts when your baby should be ready for a nap during the day and it's pretty accurate. I love this sock and I recommend it over any other product like this. You get to monitor your baby in the moment and if it comes loose or anytime is wrong an alarm does go off

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!

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.

After becoming a parent for the first time, this will be my baby shower gift for all of my friends and family. There is nothing better you can gift someone than peace of mind. We enjoy being always able to check her heart rate and oxygen levels from the comfort of our bed. Additional we love how easy and functional the app is. We've never had an issues with a false reading!
