This has literally eased my anxiety so much! I couldn't sleep without my baby having it on and now I can sleep soundly knowing I will get an alarm if anything happens!!!
Owlet has been a life saver for us nervous, first time parents! We’ve worn it faithfully for the last 7 months and it’s great getting to see our little one’s live stats and morning report. Not only has it helped ease our anxiety, but it has been beneficial in tracking sleep and managing his wake windows.
The threshold for alerts should be customizable. 50 bpm for HR seems to be pretty low even for most adults.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The preset ranges for Dream Sock notifications consider the common conditions possible across the intended user range and the appropriateness of the parameters to minimize nuisance notifications. These parameters have been validated through clinical studies which evaluated the prevalence of clinically actionable notifications. If you have concerns about your infant’s readings, even if they do not approach the set notification limits, please discuss them with your healthcare provider. If you need assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to customer support via chat on our website so that we can best help. Thank you!
The peace of mind is amazing. I only wish there was a refresh feature on the app, sometimes it doesn’t update his sleep status immediately. I cannot figure out how to do roll over notifications yet.
The sock worked until it would disconnect constantly. After I had camera issues and now it will work sometimes. Honestly would not recommend

We love our dream sock! I was hesitant at first after reading that some people had a lot of anxiety with it, however since we started using it my anxiety is significantly lower! There was one night we forgot to put it on because baby was very worked up before bed & we didn’t want to unswaddle and put it on and I couldn’t fall asleep until the first wake up/diaper change when i put the sock on. I also love the 360 features on the app, however it would be nice if you could review the details a little more in death (i know the ability is there because you can see it in real time & maybe i just haven’t figured out how to review it after the fact).
Overall, I was unsure about getting the owlet but put it on the registry and it’s certainly one of my favorite items that was gifted to us
The owlet has given my peace of mind as a new mom. My anxiety was at its highest when my baby started sleeping through the night at 8 weeks. I was able to sleep in peace knowing that the Owlet was there to monitor my baby and keep me informed along the way. Likewise, when his naps started to shorten the Owlet kept me informed of his sleep cycles so that I could monitor his total sleep to ensure my little one was meeting his daily sleep goals. I highly recommend the owlet to all parents expecting a baby or even those that are not new to parenthood.
