Dream Sock Smart Wearable Baby Monitor Tracks Heart Rate & Oxygen in Real Time Parents Receive Alerts, Sleep Insights & More via App - Mint

My husband and I absolutely love the owlet sock! We have been using it since our baby was born and it truly gives us peace of mind during night time and naps! Although there are some “false alarms” which is never a danger (aka red low oxygen or heart rate) one but more so difficult reading (yellow) ones because of bad placement or when baby is kicking or moving a lot. We never ever really get difficulty sleeping (purple) alarms. People tend to give up because of these false alarms but the pros truly outweigh that issue and they decrease in time! Plus, the yellow and purple alarm sound is not as scary as the red sound. When our baby was first born, it was definitely a little harder since we were just getting used to it and learning how to use it, but now we got the hang of it and don’t get many alarms since we know how to properly put on the sock and we learned to turn the base off when we’re rocking her to sleep or changing her diaper in the middle of the night, then turn it back on once she’s asleep. It’s overall such a nice product, and it even comes with a size up sock for when they’re older! We got the pink color and it’s so cute. Cleaning the sock is easy. The app is easy to set up and use as well, we love that we can monitor her through the app, and see the sleep session recordings of when she’s awake, in light sleep and deep sleep are nice features. That way we know how much sleep she’s truly getting! Always keep the base nearby and do not rely of mobile notifications. We recommend this to all parents considering purchasing it! It’s worth the money.

We absolutely love our Owlet sock! My baby is 4 months old now, and she has worn it every single night since birth. It gives me so much peace of mind and has become one of those baby items I couldn’t imagine going without. She doesn’t seem to mind wearing it at all, and I love all of the insights the app provides. The daily sleep reports are helpful, and I especially appreciate the tips and trends it tracks over time. One feature I use more than I expected is the temperature tracking. It’s been great for helping us adjust the thermostat and keep her room comfortable as the seasons change. I will say that when babies are newborns, you may get more disconnected alerts. In our experience, that’s just because newborns scrunch up and move around in ways that can make it harder to get consistent readings. As our baby has gotten bigger, those alerts have become much less frequent. We’ve only had one false alert in four months of use. Overall, this has been one of our favorite baby purchases and is worth every penny for the peace of mind alone.

Update: I purchased this in July of 2024 for my October 2024 baby. It has been used nightly since November 2024. It is now January 2026 and I had my first issue with the sock. It disconnected from Bluetooth and would not reconnect no matter the troubleshooting steps I took. I had to contact Owlet support and the first person I spoke to was very unhelpful and told me I just needed to buy a new sensor (for an additional $130+) and that really ticked me off. I contacted support again and the second person I spoke to was extremely helpful, had me send pictures, tried to actually assist me and then when it failed, escalated the situation to a higher up who ended up approving a replacement sensor for free. I have yet to receive it as this took place on Friday and it is now Sunday so we will see soon if I do receive it and how connection goes, but so far I am still happy with the product and the customer service I received the 2nd time around and I will still recommend this to new moms who need the peace of mind like I did/do as I never had issues with false readings, and it has always been accurate for me. For almost 15mos of continuous use without any major issues till now, I am pleased. Absolutely love this product. It has SAVED my sanity. Baby girl has worn it every night for almost 8mos. Never had a false reading, is accurate for light and deep sleep as well as her pulse. Unsure about accuracy of oxygen as there isn’t a secondary way to measure that easily, but I’m assuming it’s just as accurate as the pulse is. I wouldn’t sleep without it being on her. Knowing my baby girl is safe, and if she wasn’t I’d get a notification and alarm sound is so reassuring and I’m not up all night watching her breathe. Would totally recommend to any mama.

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. Update May 2026: so we realized recently that this has major gaps in the readings throughout the night, it never beeped with connectivity issues in those gaps, so what happened? Baby went into another dimension and then came back? Not surprised, it’s so bad at everything. Anyway Getting really close to convincing my wife we don’t need this anymore. I can’t wait, been almost 6 months with this torture device(also realizing I spelled torture wrong in earlier posts but that’s sleep deprivation for ya). I might invite all my friends over for a destroy the owlet party. Haven’t decided how to do it yet, burn it? Throw it out of a plane? Put it in a blender? I wonder if it’ll still beep at me if it’s been blended. We may get to find out…

Love this sock for my baby! It had brought me such a piece of mind and calmed my anxiety. I saw so many mixed reviews about it but i just needed it to be able to sleep at night. Definitely works, love the app - easy to use. It tracks all the of the baby sleeps times and heart rate. Comes with different sizes for the baby's foot. Only bad thing - the sock has to be washed my hand. Other than that I LOVE IT!

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.

After debating on getting it throughout my entire pregnancy, I decided to get it after my son was struggling with silent reflux + laryngomalacia. It brought me peace instantly. I have OCD and was worried this would make it worse but it did the complete opposite for me in my situation. Knowing he’s being monitored all night helps me sleep better even if it’s for 2 hour stretches during the newborn stage 😅. It beeps if it’s not reading right which is great. I like how it tracks multiple things. Only things I wish were different; the sensor being permanent on the little piece of cloth, my baby has sweaty feet and boy do they make this owlet stink! I am Able to wash the sock part but you can only spot clean the fabric on the sensor and it isn’t enough. I also wish the price was lower. It’s insanely expensive. Luckily I got it on a payment plan with affirm.

First things first, I read so many reviews. I mean SO MANY. Reviews on Facebook, Reddit, Amazon. I compared reviews for owlet and the other competitors for DAYS. Trying to decide if I should buy the owlet sock while its on sale. So many people reported issues with connectivity, issues with false alarms, and some people complain that the company feeds on anxious parents wallets. With all of that being said, I have had zero connection issues so far. I havent had any false alarms only notifications that the sock isnt reading correctly, but its because I had the sock on the wrong foot. And most importantly I dont think this item is for feeding on parents anxiety. The sock works exactly how its intended. Watching the O2, heart rate, and sleep schedule. The peace of mind ive gotten in just the short time since ive got the sock is AMAZING. For 3 weeks, I found myself anxiously watching my son breathe questioning if its normal, retractions, or just gas. I even took him to the ER thinking he was breathing wrong. The doctor there recommended getting a sock monitor to ease my mind. So yeah I 100% recommend this to anyone whos finding themselves not sleeping, just watching.

WiFi Connection Failed after app update to 3.35.1

Can’t use used out of the US

Muy mal que vendan productos que no se pueden ocupar en otros paises, yo encontre una manera de instalar esta aplicacion desde apkmirror o en apkpure descargue la aplicacion pero esto puede tener un riesgo ya que no se descarga desde google, lo hice para un telefono android y funciono, desconozco si se pueda hacer en un telefono apple, uno como cliente no deberia estar buscando estas opciones para hacer que el producto funcione, mal por parte de amazon y el vendedor que deberian ser los primeros en darse cuenta de esto y no poner el producto a la venta en otros paises ya que no funciona

Lo devolví. La idea no es que sea exacto, pero se desconectaba a cada rato de la base (problemas de conexión) a menos de 5 metros. Falsas alarmas, un app demasiado básico, y eso que usé la versión de paga (9USD)

El producto no es usable en México porque es imposible descargar la APP en el país. Aun así, el vendedor y Amazon lo ofrecen, lo cual es inaceptable. Contacté al vendedor buscando solución y me indicaron hacer la devolución y reembolso, hasta aquí “ok”, pero tuve que absorber el costo del regreso de un producto que nunca funcionaría en mi país, perdiendo $1,883 mxp ($101 usd). ¡Esto es una vergüenza!
