Being a new mom comes with so much anxiety but having the owlet helped me so much sleep at night when Blake was sleeping knowing he was safe and his heart rate and oxygen being monitored.
I work in healthcare so I have my worries and fears already, and this sock helps put a lot of them to rest so I can actually sleep without anxiety. I still follow all the safe sleep practices, but this is that extra little reassurance. So far we’ve had no issues, and it’s great to see how she’s actually sleeping overnight!
As a registered nurse and a first-time mom, I’m probably more particular than most when it comes to monitoring and vital-sign technology. I work with pulse oximetry regularly in the hospital, so I understand both how useful this technology can be and the importance of looking at trends rather than relying on a single reading.
We’ve been using the Owlet Dream Duo (3rd Gen) with our daughter, and it has genuinely given us so much peace of mind, especially overnight. I love being able to see her sleep information and trends from the sock while also having the camera available in the same system. The app is easy to use, and I appreciate being able to check on her without constantly going into the room and potentially waking her.
From a nurse’s perspective, I also appreciate having objective information available rather than trying to judge everything simply by looking at the monitor. I know a home baby monitor isn’t a replacement for medical assessment or hospital equipment, but having that additional information as a parent is incredibly reassuring.
Overall, the Dream Duo has become one of the baby products we use every single day. It combines the things I appreciate as a nurse—data and trends—with what I need as a mom: reassurance and a little more peace of mind while my baby sleeps. I would absolutely recommend it to other parents.
