The owlet is so informative and a relief for me, especially being a first time mom! It shows you if your baby is in a deep or light sleep, oxygen level, heart rate, the amount of movement they’re making, and really helps you navigate their sleep patterns! I love it !
The Owlet sock has honestly been one of the best purchases for our baby. As a first-time mom, the nighttime anxiety was so real — constantly checking to make sure baby was breathing, waking up over every little sound, and barely getting any sleep myself. Since using the Owlet, I’ve finally been able to relax and actually rest at night.
I used the older version of the sock for my twins and it worked well. I have the newest version now and have been using it for my son. It constantly beeps saying it is disconnected from the sock. It has woken me up so many times. The times that it has gone off with a red alert I am looking at my baby and he is wide awake and moving around. I am not happy with our newest version. I will say it does charge a lot better. The old version only lasted for a year before it broke and stopped charging. I would love to say it gives me peace of mind, but it alarms so often (for disconnection or base station being too far away) that it is interrupting my sleep and sanity. We live in a two story home and it should be able to reach from our room to the living room. It isn’t very far.

2 different phones, 1 hour, and lots of patience. Painful process connecting considering we did it the same each time and connection would happen after repeated attempts
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I honestly love the Owlet brand. I’ve used this brand for both of my kids and it gives me such peace of mind. I feel like I can sleep better not hating to worry about how they’re doing. I love this specific one because it has a camera so I’m able to get the app open and see how my son is doing as well as be able to watch how he’s sleeping. I especially love it when my baby is sick because I feel he’ll even better when he’s having a lot of snot snake is mouth breathing. I feel such a sense of relief with if.
The product is awesome. The support team needs some training on WiFi connections. The Dream sock only operates on a 2.4GHz WiFi which they are very adamant about. However it will only operate on a WPA network. It will not pick up or connect to a network operating on WPA2/WPA3, which most newer routers are set to operate on. That being said I only figured this out by manually reconfiguring the WiFi router myself in a last ditch effort to get our new sock to connect. Not one support document or support team member mentioned this. I hope this helps any new customers with connectivity issues.
I really wanted to love the Owlet sock monitor, but it’s honestly been more frustrating than helpful. The biggest issue is constant false alerts for “sock displacement” even when my baby is completely still and sleeping. It goes off multiple times a night, which completely defeats the purpose of having something that’s supposed to give you peace of mind.
Instead of feeling reassured, I’m constantly second-guessing whether something is actually wrong or if it’s just another false alarm. It ends up waking both me and my baby up for no reason, which is incredibly stressful and exhausting.
On top of that, the app can be glitchy and slow to update, sometimes taking way too long to reconnect. The base station alarm is also very loud and jarring, which might be good in a real emergency—but not when it’s happening repeatedly for no real issue.
The sock itself can be tricky to position correctly, and it doesn’t always stay in place well, especially as babies get a little more wiggly. For something this expensive, I expected much better reliability and consistency.
Overall, this product caused more anxiety than it solved. Between the false alarms, connectivity issues, and fit problems, I wouldn’t recommend it. There are definitely better, less stressful options out there.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
