Our owlet dream sock is a must have!! It works so good and has put us at ease every night since having our son. It is expensive but so worth the money! It tracks their sleep in three different phases. Active or awake, light sleep, or deep sleep. It tracks their oxygen saturation along with their heart rate. We have had a couple times that his oxygen has gone down and it has alarmed. I am a very deep sleeper and the alarm is loud enough to wake me up. They send you two different sized socks and they are slightly stretchy and fit so good! We have used ours everyday for the last year and it still works like a champ. Super durable and soft fabric.

Gave in and bought this. As a first time Mom and somebody that works in the medical field, I am freaked out about SIDS. This put my mind at ease. A lot of people were complaining about the technical issues about it. I have not had any issues except one time where my husband put on the sock wrong. Also, it won’t read if you’re like rocking your baby too fast or bouncing them up and down it’ll alert, saying it can’t get a good read. But I take it with me everywhere I go hotels, friends houses everything. It’ll work without the Wi-Fi, you just won’t get live updates, but it’ll still alert with the noise and the color change on the base if there’s something wrong if you don’t have the Wi-Fi. Read more
I was unable to get the app to connect originally, customer service is good though and they were able to help. The 3 stars really comes down to the poor range. It says up to 100 ft but I’ve had this disconnect 5ft from the base station. Nothing like trying to change a poopy diaper or calm a screaming baby and having this stupid thing start beeping every 30 seconds to push you over the edge. The fine print says some things about how it will struggle to read if the babies feeding??? So it’ll go off then too and you have to take it off or turn it off every time you do that unless you want it to screen. Like a Fitbit that doesn’t work when you’re drinking, the base station thing is a flaw alone, but the connection issues are terrible. Also the base station has a battery but only enough battery life to yell at you that it’s unplugged. If the connection is so terrible and I have to carry this around my home atleast give it significant battery life. Update: 2:30am some day in dec 2025, losing track of time. I’m 2 ft away from it trying to get my baby to go to sleep and it’s going off, I’m throwing this out a f*****g window. Down to one star Update Dec 27,2025: well I haven’t thrown it out a window yet. I have been doing a lot of thinking. This item will be great…if I ever develope an arch nemesis in my life and they have a baby and I need to slowly make them lose their mind. Most recently I was up at 3am trying to get baby to fall asleep. Took baby to a separate room, I have a small house so every room is less then 100 ft away. Forgot to take the base station with me. Somehow the connectivity heavens opened up and the base station stayed quiet. So it didn’t wake my wife which was great. Baby fell asleep so took baby back to our room. Put baby in the bassinet. Lay my head to go to sleep, base station goes off with connectivity issues, wife’s awake, babies awake I’m awake. Beautiful. This kind of stuff is a regular occurrence. The only reason we still have it is because it gives my lovely wife peace of mind. But It may just make me lose mine. Still one star. Update: Dec 31st: base station is on rice, I did not drop it in water on purpose. Crying baby was taking him to another room to sleep, was thirsty so grabbed my water cup to take with me, two steps out the door, base station reminds me I forgot it with its great beeping. Hurry in to grab it and take it with me to the other room. We have two plugs for it now seeing as you have to move it but don’t want to crawl under the bed where our plug is. So unplug it grab my water cup again cause I haven’t had a drink yet. Head to other room with yelling base station, crying baby, thirsty dad. Attempt to press the base station to silence that and atleast have a little peace. Somehow plops right into my water cup. Cups perfect size to where I can’t grab it so run to sink dumb it. Impressively enough, it’s still yelling at me and working. Part of me hopes it dies, other part of me hopes it survives so my wife doesn’t want to spend another 300 DOLLARS. Oh yea no base stations are individually available for purchase from them. Adding to the dumbness. Will update if it survives Update: Jan what’s today? 2026 Base station survived on rice for 48 hours, dried out and still works unfortunately. I have made peace with it. I must have prayed for patience at some point so God sent me this to test it. There’s a reason for everything right? I am smarter than the torchers who invented this, I have plugged it into a battery back that comes with me everywhere. It’s like I have two babies now, my other one just cries less. But it works, might get it a little carry bag to go along with its new battery. Recommendation to the creators, on iteration 5or 6 of this thing, whatever you’re on, and if you read these, which I suspect you don’t. GGIVE THE BASE STATION ITS OWN BATTERY SO YOU CAN TAKE IT AROUND THE HOUSE and or make the range an actual 100ft not 100 inches. Thanks, and thanks for helping me become a more patient man through the testing of it. Might update again in the future. We’ll see. Staying one star. Update from Jan 22nd 4am: finally had the clarity of mind to take a picture for some proof in case anybody really needed it. My hand is on babies foot that has the owlet on it, base station is quite literally 3ft or less away. Placement on the foot was textbook. In a world of 5G ultra extra awesome, WiFi 8 billion, and elonian space internet, the connection problems this 300 dollar peace of equipment experiences is astoundingly terrible. To put it in perspective, a base starlink, which connects to things in space cost 199. This thing is 300 dollars and can’t connect to its base station 3ft away, my AirPods will stay connected to my phone from my room to my garage prbly a football field distance… Update on my patience: become more patient for sure, but this thing is my arch nemesis now so I will continue to fight it the only way I can…in this review… Update Feb 2026: the more I think about this thing the more bitter I get. Had a night where it just decided to not connect all night. Frankly I think baby slept better without it on. Now I’m wondering if this whole time it bothered her foot. Convinced this device is only to prey on worried people. Not going to actually help you with anything especially when it’s unreliable as it is. Another exhausting night of no help from the owlet. I just hope this has prevented people from buying this. You don’t need it, your baby will be okay. Anxiety is normal, especially for first time parents. your baby is going to sleep on you all day anyway. You’ll have less stress without this. Read more
Works great! Shows you just the heartbeat rate and oxygen %. It cost 99.99$ a year so if you want to spend that much on it go ahead. The base has to connect to your Wi-Fi so if you travel with it, make sure you at least have a hotspot on or home wifi and a power source to it like a power bank you can hook it up to and still be close to it. Wi-Fi hotspot will also work with it. Just make sure you set it up properly. I have not tried it without Wi-Fi but you can go ahead and see if it works without Wi-Fi. The comforter on it seems really comfortable. The sink speed takes like 30 to 60 seconds for it to completely read it correctly and the ease of set up as easy as long as you follow instructions and you can also call customer service and watch YouTube tutorials on how to set it up if you want visual Instructions. And the design of the sock is soft and flexible quality on the baby‘s foot just make sure you put it on a little snug so we can read properly. Read more
The owlet has been a great peace of mind for my husband and I. The battery life is great and it works well through overnight sleep. The sock doesn’t seem to bother our little guy at all. Our son is 3 months now and we have had several times where the Wi-Fi is dropped for some reason and we have to reconnect it. Not a huge deal, but a little annoying right before bed. We forget to turn off the sensor and get connection issue alarms relatively frequently when we’re getting our guy ready for bed, take him to change a diaper or run down stairs to make a bottle. The issue we have with the alarm is not the alarm it’s the fact that the app sometimes takes forever to open to turn off the alarm or you have to completely close it and then reopen it to get it to load. Overall it lets me sleep better knowing there’s something monitoring our baby while he’s sleeping and I would get the owlet again just for that. With some tweaks to the app it would be 5 stars.
