Our baby had a long stay in the nicu so I was torn on getting this. I was used to seeing his monitored stats constantly, but thought it might lead to needless anxiety after being discharged. Instead, it gave me peace of mind that his o2 levels are good while he sleep through the night. Once you get the hang of positioning it on baby’s foot and get used to the app, it’s easy to use. It loses connection and alarms if the base is too far away, but luckily the alarm sound from a bad connection is different from the sound of an actual health alarm. Our baby is sick right now and it’s nice to be able to see his pulse ox and know that it isn’t dropping too low while he’s under the weather. We’ve used this every single night since he was discharged from the nicu. Worth every penny.
The biggest piece of mind! When I found out I was pregnant after 6 years, I knew I needed to repurchase my owlet!! It's so easy to operate and is accessible enough for travel too!! I could not recommend a product more, whether you're a first-time mom or a mom who's been out of the newborn stage for a while like me, it is defiantly a MUST HAVE!
The duo is excellent - as new parents who spent a month in the NICU these gave us peace of mind. From the constant monitoring in the hospital, we were anxious to bring our baby home. But the sock and camera gave us basically the same information and helped us our transition to home.
Disconnects if the baby is sitting a certain way or isn't on tight enough. The alarm will sound on the base and wake up the baby you already spent 15 minutes trying to rock to go to sleep. I'd like the app to take into consideration the 20 minutes he slept in the car and that his nap window passed an hour ago so he won't be sleepy at 12:10pm when he faught his nap and only slept on the way to the grocery store. I guess the price comes from all the high tech stuff in the sock and transmission to an app that lags and gives error codes a lot. Don't have signal, won't have an app.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This sock has been a complete game changer for my wife and I. Being first time parents we had constant anxiety sleeping at night. The Owlet has given us piece of mind and assurance that our son is safe.
We love the owlet sock and camera. My only complaint is the connectivity. The sock disconnects from the base when we take my baby into her room. We currently have her in our room as she is little. The base seems to far away from our room to connect to the sock. The camera is good. My only complaint is the sound when you turn your phone to make it big on the screen goes out and you have to turn it off and back on to get it to play. Otherwise we have been able to sleep soundly as first time parents having the sock alerts.

I love that I can track my babies sleep and know he’s safe he’s had breathing issues and to know that if his oxygen dropped I would be alerted immediately is the only way I’m able to sleep
