Was gifted one of these while my son was in the NICU. When we were finally able to bring him home my post partum anxiety was through the roof. I had gotten so used to monitors and constant care he was receiving so our first few nights had me in a panic, naturally. This sock is the only reason I can sleep peacefully at night knowing my baby is okay.
I had post partum OCD, and this helped me to actually relax enough to sleep. While I know this is not a medical device, knowing I would get an alert for low oxygen helped me to look away from her and actually rest.
Would love to love the owlet but it keeps disconnecting from my WiFi which is excellent. We actually have a separate WiFi just for our owlet and still it disconnects itself. I understand it monitors but I want live readings. I’m a nurse and that is the reason I wanted it to be able to monitor my daughter continuously.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Loving it so far. Didn’t have it for our first baby and I can honestly say that having it with our second has made it each sier for us at nights giving us peace of mind. I will say we don’t like how much it beeps from the sock moving when baby is active. We also love the camera. The quality and clarity is top notch. I do wish the camera sounds were available without having to pay for a subscription but I understand. Overall, it’s a great product and I recommend it to everyone. If you’re on the fence about it this is your sign to go for it!
I would overall recommend the Owlet to all parents. It's simple to setup and use, the information is really to understand and it's just provides a small peace of mind. My one big complaint is that it has a fairly small range, so you can't really leave the room the sensor is in without setting it off (for example, if I take my son into the attached bathroom, it goes off). It has also randomly started saying there's a problem with reading the sensor in the middle of the night and that's frustrating but it's still far worth it to know my son's heart rate and breathing are where they should be
Provides wonderful peace of mind when needed, and advance notice of baby's being slightly under the weather. The instructions for turning it off (such as when I am cleaning it) are not well written and the video is little help. Overall a good purchase.
