Owlet Dream Sock Plus - Smart Baby Monitor with Heart Rate and Average Oxygen O2 as Sleep Quality Indicators - Standard Sock and Plus-Sized Sock to Grow with Baby, Mint

We got this after my toddler daughter was hospitalized with some health issues and just got the larger socks. It worked great for her at night and gave me a lot of peace of mind. We now have a baby and put it on him every night. I like being able to see oxygen and heart rate while he’s sleeping. And I like that it will alarm if something is wrong. It’s not cheap, but I definitely feel that it’s worth the money we paid and has held up well on multiple kids.

I’m so glad I bought this. Saves me so much stress during the night and love to see his sleep improving

I would recommend this 100%

I have had the owlet smart sock 2 for 2 children now. My brother is having a baby and I bought the dream sock thinking it was the same device only for age 5 and up, and I was going to give him the smart sock 2 and use the dream sock for my 2 children with asthma during flares. I used the dream sock for 2 nights and realize that it is just an overpriced heart rate monitor. If you are interested in a pulse oxygen monitor and alarm this is not for you; the device is not constantly monitoring the pulse oxygen and no longer has the red alerts. In over 4 years with the 2 children I had the smart sock I only got one red alert and it was while my son had the early stages of pneumonia, this device likely saved him from a lengthy hospital stay. The dream sock is not worth the money. Luckily I was able to find a used smart sock 2 and my brother and his wife have androids so they can still download the owlet care app.Ona side note, I had just come back from a cross country trip where I traveled with the older owlet smart sock 2 and set it up at each new AirBnB with ease and less than 3 minutes. It took over 2 hrs to get the base station to connect to my phone, sick to base station and get the devices to register. What a ridiculous headache it was.Disappointed that this product was removed from the market, made into an inferior and although useless device and RE marketed as the same thing as the previous edition. The FDA definitely made a mistake.

This device provides excellent stats, and truly gives piece of mind to parents during the first few days/weeks/months.What is very challenging is that if you try to change your baby, feed you baby, settle you baby, etc. the base alarm will go off because of having “Difficulty getting a reading.” This causes baby to wake, my partner to wake, and then I’m scrambling to turn off the alert while caring for baby. I wish the app would have a feature where you could switch to “Feeding”, “Changing”, etc. so that the device would continue to monitor, but wouldn’t set off the alarm.Despite all of this, I use it every night. I’ve just gotten into the habit of unplugging the base when I get up to care for baby, and plug it back in when getting back into bed.

Bought for a family member

My son was born a preemie. We absolutely loved the dream sock and used it often. The only issue we had was the base would frequently loose connection to the sock. Sometimes the connection would be lost three or more time during a single nap. It was very annoying and we never found a solution to it. We tried moving the base closer to his bassinet, didn’t work, we tried restarting the device, didn’t work. We live in a 3bedroom apartment so it’s not as if there was much square footage between the base and the sock itself. No reason it shouldn’t have been perfectly functional. The rang was the only complaint we have. However all in all I’d rather have the device with the issue than not have it at all it was very useful. Holding the next update as a longer rang or stronger connection.

First off, people expecting this to be an autopilot of monitoring baby health are ignoring the necessity of parental observation. This device works perfectly for its intended purpose, monitor the baby. It does not diagnose or prevent illness of SIDS. If you use this in conjunction with a video monitor it adds a secondary system of observance on top of video you can see some low-level vital data, that is intended to alert the parent.Having had a 13-week premature daughter where they constantly had her monitored, this was not a false sense of security, but more like an extra layer of comfort. Another watchful eye that I combined with my constant checking in and the baby monitor that reported rooms statistics and baby movement. Even the hospitals sensors are prone to error and reporting incorrect data, which is a combination of baby shifting, bad connection, etc...Overall, this product works exactly as intended and I would research the lawsuits and FDA issue. Those lawsuits were parents that thought this was an auto parenting device. The FDA issues was in the language of the initial device and that it was being marketed as a medical device without medical device approval... This is not a medical device but a monitoring device, akin to a baby camera. Treat this as a monitor and it works perfectly! Do not treat this as a device that reports vital statistics... Even in the hospital, when those sensors give a certain reading that the Nurses are not happy with, they validate the data i.e., observe the babies skin tone, capillary response, etc...Works perfectly!
