As parents of four children, we've tried every baby monitor on the market. The Owlet Dream Sock has been a game-changer for our peace of mind, especially during those first few months with a newborn.
The Owlet Dream Sock provides real-time health monitoring for your baby
FDA-Cleared Smart Monitoring
The FDA-cleared technology tracks your baby's pulse rate and oxygen levels in real-time. This isn't just a regular baby monitor - it's a health monitoring device that gives you insights into your baby's well-being throughout the night.
We love that it's designed for healthy infants between 1-18 months and 6-30 lbs, making it perfect for our newborn through toddler stages. The 7-day battery life means we don't have to worry about charging it constantly.
Real-Time Notifications
When your baby's health readings fall outside normal ranges, you'll get immediate notifications through the Base Station lights and sounds, plus in-app alerts. This feature has given us incredible peace of mind during those first few months.
The Base Station provides visual and audio alerts when needed
App Control and Monitoring
The Owlet Dream App allows you to view your baby's health data from anywhere. You can track sleep trends, waking patterns, and health readings over time. The app is intuitive and easy to use, even when you're sleep-deprived.
We particularly love the historical data feature, which helps us understand our baby's sleep patterns and health trends. This information has been invaluable for discussions with our pediatrician.
What Makes It Different
Unlike traditional baby monitors that only provide audio and video, the Owlet Dream Sock gives you actual health data. This means you're not just guessing about your baby's well-being - you have concrete information about their pulse rate and oxygen levels.
The soft, comfortable sock is designed to stay in place throughout the night, and our babies have never seemed bothered by wearing it. The breathable material ensures your baby stays comfortable.

Real Parent Experience
We've used the Owlet Dream Sock with our youngest daughter, and it has been incredibly reassuring. During those first few months when we were constantly worried about SIDS and other sleep-related concerns, having real-time health data gave us the confidence to sleep better ourselves.
The notification system has only gone off a few times, and each time it was for a legitimate reason (like when our daughter had a cold and her oxygen levels were slightly lower). The peace of mind this device provides is truly invaluable.
Is It Worth the Investment?
At around $299, the Owlet Dream Sock is definitely a premium product. However, for parents who struggle with anxiety about their baby's health and safety, this device can be worth its weight in gold. The peace of mind it provides is something you can't put a price on.
We recommend it especially for:
- First-time parents who are anxious about SIDS
- Parents of babies with health concerns
- Families who want detailed sleep and health data
- Parents who travel frequently and want remote monitoring
