Connection issues, sometimes. Battery life is decent. Somwtim s the soxk is too tickbr around my daifhrwds foot. Love all the monitoring intergration

Overall, I think this is just OK. Helpful for heart rate and auction saturation monitoring, but we could never get a good fit and the fact that you can’t change the volume of the chirp on the homebase. Puck is truly annoying and disruptive. It just wasn’t for us and probably caused more anxiety.

Pretty good product. Gave the information I needed to have peace of mind such as the oxygen level and heart rate. Didn’t like the batter life. You would think for something this small, it would have a longer juice.

I want to love this. My wife wanted to love this even more. There are many issues that I can’t overlook in recommending this. First the base is pretty spotty in connecting/staying connected to the WiFi. Another is the inability to set any notifications, which I know comes because of the government coming down on them, but still there are many that have at least heart rate notifications, see eufy baby.

The sock was to small for my babies feet but it still worked

The sock fits well around the baby, but there were just too many glitches with the app and did not keep. The stats were not always available so that was the main reason for return.

It’s okay wish it had more updates it wouldn’t let us know when my daughter would stop breathing well she was vomiting

We bought this item with the intention to monitor our newborns vital while he was in his bassinet. We were under the impression that it could monitor 02 stats. It does everything else its supposed too.

Don’t like how you have to put it on so tight or the alarm will go off

Good item, but if not secured properly it wakes you up with a loud noise to correct.

The Owlet Dream sock is a baby monitoring device that wraps around your child's foot. It's not truly a sock but rather more like an foot wrap that needs to go directly on skin. I have a traditional camera baby monitor and while that works well, I've wanted something that could help give us more insight into our infant's sleep and help transition him to sleeping through the night. Also, something where I'd get baby wake up notifications on my phone, so I'm not necessarily tied to ensuring I have the monitor base with me. It is surprising how often the base disappears during the day and it's a regular feature that about once a day, we spend a couple minutes looking for where it was last placed. So the dream socks consists of the mint green foot wrap, a base station which charges the sock, plays music, and provides some visual indication (both for you and to help soothe baby to get back to sleep), and the usual extras (charging cable, instructions). While it is pretty simple to use, I highly suggest a few test runs during the day when baby is awake and calm to get a sense for how you'd go about applying the sock. The sock is solely a sensor, I think similar to the heart rate/sleep tracking sensors used in smart watches. So the major thing here is the Dream app because that's what controls the base, provides analytics, and some sleep training guidance. The app is easy to setup and use. You'd go through a quick assessment on your baby's current habits if you want a customized sleep program. It provides detailed analytics like sleep quality, time sleep started, periods of wakefulness/activity, breakdown between awake, light sleep, and deep sleep, and heart rate. Having real-time heart rate available is nice, though perhaps given that there's nothing really tied to that, its tough to say the utility. I appreciate having that info though I know with my first child, that may have been too much info and lead to obsessing over every little detail. The app provides notification cards for your child sleeping, being awake, or when it detects an assist is needed. An assist doesn't necessarily mean your child has woken up, but perhaps they're a bit restless and need some slight soothing to stay asleep. As many parents will instinctively know, this is almost more useful information than whether your child has woken up. This prompt for assist is the only push notification you get. And while it is a pretty critical one as I mentioned, having an "awake" push notification is also very useful, especially if you don't have a camera monitor. I understand some of this is by design on the part of Owlet, but it would have been nice to at least add in a menu item to get that notification for those who aren't (or would like to stop) using a camera monitor. Sock battery life was good. Enough for an overnight and then morning sleep. It also charges pretty quickly so if you're in the habit of always putting the sock on the base station in between naps, you'd pretty much never have an instance where battery runs out during a nap. The sock seems designed for the first year of infancy. For at least half of that, if not more, your baby will need to nurse or otherwise drink milk or formula several times through the night. So, where something like this has a lot of utility, at least to me, is in the 6 months to 18 months stage where you're transitioning your child to sleeping completely through the night with no intervention from parents. I think having models for older/bigger children where you can choose a sock for a particular stage could be a good way to bridge this gap. For a first child, this is a great device. Once you're at child 2 or 3, having more help on the latter stage of sleeping becomes more of the parental need.

Packaging: The sock was packaged with everything separated nicely and in the order you needed them for set up. Setup: There is an app that goes along with this sock. One of the selling points for me. As a side note make sure you download the exact application stated on the package. Owlet has multiple apps for different socks. My first go around with setting up the sock I downloaded the wrong app since I only searched for Owlet and not the exact wording on the box. I am not sure why they have multiple apps but it made it a little confusing. Once I downloaded the correct application set up went fairly smoothly connecting the base to the sock and to my home wifi. Usage: This product is for children up to 18 months so provided are 4 socks 1 pair for infants and one pair for toddlers. This is great so you can switch feet and once your child gets bigger you can use the bigger sock so there isn’t any discomfort. My only issue with the socks is that both the infant and toddler socks where used Velcro to keep it on. For infants this was fine, but my curious toddler was not having it a different way to secure it would have been better. This was only made worse by both my phone and the base unit playing a loud lullaby to let us know that the sock had lost connection to our baby. There is no way to turn this down or off completely. I contacted support just to make sure I wasn’t missing something in the app but they confirmed there wasn’t any way to adjust the sound on the dream sock. So if you are ok waking up in a panic thinking something happened then this would be ok. We absolutely did not like waking up to find all that happened was the sock came off. Data: The best part is the data you get from the sock. How well your child is sleeping if they are tossing in deep sleep etc. This was helpful to know because we directly saw correlations to our child’s mood based on sleep patterns. Also, if your child is sick you will also see how well or bad they are sleeping and medicate accordingly. Maybe they aren’t breathing as well as they should all these are pulled into the app and are very easy to read.

It is very easy to use and set up. It keeps track of the babies sleep as well as the Heart rate and oxygen saturation. Bad part about it is that it could damage your child tissue. It has a red light that irritates the skin and could end up burning or leaving the foot red. The oxygen saturation only reads every 10 minutes. It is not continuous.

An amazing piece of technology, which works great for monitoring your child's sleep habits. Having so many kids, this is not a huge priority for me, but IU can see that new parents would love the extra peace of mind the sleep sock could provide. Sleep is an important element for everyone, especially developing children,

A headache to setup with my OnePlus 8 UW. The chat support person said that the base station doing a mild slow white pulse means that the sock is updating and would be able to setup in 2 hours... The app said nothing about updating... After 3 hours of waiting, I did a reset, and then used my wife's iPhone se 2nd gen to set it up. Worked fine after that. Does give useful sleep information and gives paranoid first time parents some price of mind. My 5 week old doesn't even react to the sock being put on. Bit pricey and setup could be way better.
