We bought this for use with our premie son, for peace of mind, he’s now three months old and still uses it every night. Last night he choked silently from phlegm that he was unable to clear himself, the owlet alerted us to his decreasing SPO2. He was cyanotic (blue) in his face, we were able to clear his airway, he recovered fully and fell back to sleep shortly after. He has been medically cleared. I whole heartedly believe the owlet dream sock played a significant role in protecting my son and was worth every single penny.
I've been using the iwlet fir nearly three months and love the peace if kind it offers. It took a little while to get the hang of putting it on right. As a newborn and when we needed to size up the sock it fit a bot loose so when he would kick or wiggle around it would fall out of place and alert but that problem is basically fixed as the baby grows. The two things I wish it offered was body temperature tracking and a way to turn off the alert when your baby is awake and may need consoling because he is in a bedside Bassinet so I'm already aware he's awake and usually trying to change his diaper calm him and the alarm going off makes it stressful. Totally recommend the owlet though. This is my fourth baby and I love that I can sleep peacefully.
Having this for my baby has really lessened my anxiety at night time. I am able to sleep so much better knowing she is being monitored and I will be alerted if something happens. I had seen reviews and comments that the sock irritates their baby but it has not irritated my baby yet and she has worn it for a month now. The only thing that needs work is the app. It’s buggy and sometimes won’t show her stats for a few hours at a time, like she wasn’t monitored for a period of time.
I bought this for peace of mind for my baby as a first time mom. However the app constantly glitches and makes me more worried constantly checking on my baby because the app is having issues. I’ve always updated if the app had an update available and nothing has helped.
For me, the most important feature on the Owlet is the live oxygen reading and alarm if the levels get too low. Because of this feature I was about to get my son the medical help he needed.
I bought this when my 2 month old had RSV and it’s greatly reduced my overall anxiety. The app does not work super great and I’m constantly having to close and reopen it to get it to load. I also don’t like how it’s laid out to look at past sleep cycles. I think the app could use a lot of work
