I absolutely love it. My LO was a NICU baby so my husband and I were used to knowing his vitals at all times. We use it at night and it gives us better peace of mind and allows me to actually fall asleep, especially because the dock will notify if anything changes (including lost signal).

Yes, very worth it!

Yeah we purchased one after a medical scare and it’s the only reason i can sleep through the night

So I would say that I loved the socks after my son moved out of our room and into his own crib. He was in the bassinet in our room until he was almost a year so I was comfortable not using it but when he was on his own in his room I had him wear it to sleep and I liked the reassurance

We bedshared. And we had our little one wear that sock every single night untiln14 maybe 15mths. Some people think it's a stupid purchase or a waste of money. That's okay. For me, it was a favorite purchase. I could go to sleep and feel comforted knowing that there was another set if "eyes" on her. That if she had trouble breathing or her heart rate dropped I'd get an alarm vs sleeping through it and waking up to find that I lost her. I was scared of sids and this let me rest a bit easier.

Agreed with everyone else. I was told it would increase my anxiety but it did the opposite. For me it was either stay up all night watching her because I was terrified of SIDS or get some rest knowing something is doing the monitoring for me. I didn’t feel the need to stay up watching the Owlet Dashboard because of the alarms. Speaking of, you will get false alarms because of fit when you start to use it, be forewarned. The poor fit alarm however is different than the something’s wrong with vitals alarm which was a thoughtful choice.

If you get one that works properly it’s great. However, mine almost killed me because it kept going off when nothing was wrong. I would end up disturbing my baby and giving myself a heart attack. In the end I took the sock off and stared at him all night. ☹️
