Love it! Just minor flaws. Overall, the owlet gives us peace of mind when putting our little one to sleep. We didn’t realize the health notifications are only available after one month, but I’m sure that was something we missed. The device can be a bit finicky. We always get the alert for sensor placement when burping baby which is obviously frequently when feeding a newborn. After snoozing the alert it has a bit of lag time for the device to realize there isn’t actually a problem. I realized this after not repositioning the device and just paused my burping. Can be a bit annoying. Otherwise so far so good.
The Owlet gives me such peace of mind as an anxious mommy. It really helps you fall asleep easier knowing you'll be notified if anything happens! The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5, is it seems that anytime my baby wakes up crying and kicks his feet, I get a “check sock placement” notification which is LOUD in the middle of the night! You then have to find your phone to stop the alarm while dealing with baby. I have it as tight as I safely can with a sock overtop, and it still seems to move. I’m happy it’s sensitive enough to pick up change, and is loud enough to wake you, but the odd part is that as soon as baby stops kicking the placement is fine with no adjustment. Still, the peace of mind is worth the slight inconvenience. I do wish the health notifications told you what was wrong (ex oxygen, heart rate, etc - but it just says “baby needs your help to sleep better) as I had one apparently false alarm and couldn’t figure out why as his heart rate and oxygen were normal. Overall, I do recommend this product to new parents to help with safer sleep and peace of mind.
We love the Owlet Dream Sock! We take comfort in knowing that if our baby becomes very uncomfortable or starts having any sort of breathing issues or anything, we will get an alert that is loud enough to wake us up. Thankfully, that hasn’t happened, and hopefully it never will. But it gives us more peace of mind!
It works as advertised. Measurements seem accurate. No irritation or issues with baby’s skin from the sock. It gives an average for oxygen every 10 minutes vs real time measurements which I didn’t realize. Very happy with this product!
The owlet has given me peace of mind and helps me truly rest at night. My one complaint is a glitch with the app. When checking the times that my son woke up during the night, occasionally the slider that tells the time is on the incorrect time and won’t go to the end of the timeline slider bar.
This gives me peace of mind at night. I don’t use it during naps but do at bedtime. When my baby started sleeping longer stretches, I was also able to sleep better when using the sock and knowing she’s ok. The only negative is that you will get a lot of alerts if the baby is very wiggly. It will keep going off every 60sec until baby calms down.
