Quick answer
To use the Owlet Dream Sock, wrap the sensor around your baby's foot, pair it with the Owlet Dream App, and monitor pulse rate, oxygen, and sleep patterns in real time.
Why choose the Owlet Dream Sock for sleep monitoring
The Owlet Dream Sock offers medical-grade accuracy for tracking your baby's vital signs, giving you peace of mind without disturbing sleep. Its clinically proven technology monitors pulse rate and oxygen levels, alerting you to any changes. This makes it a valuable tool for parents of newborns or those with health concerns.
Important safety and fit considerations
Ensure the sock fits snugly but not too tight—it should stay in place without leaving marks. The sensor must be positioned correctly over the top of the foot for accurate readings. Avoid using lotions or creams on the foot before application, as they can interfere with sensor contact. The sock is designed for babies from 0-18 months, but always check the fit as your baby grows.
How to set up and use the Owlet Dream Sock
- Charge and download the app: Charge the sensor base using the provided USB cable. Download the Owlet Dream App on your smartphone and create an account. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled. A fully charged base lasts up to 12 hours; charge daily to avoid interruptions.
- Place the sock on your baby's foot: Slide the fabric sock onto your baby's bare foot, positioning the sensor pad over the top of the foot (the instep). The sensor should be flat against the skin. Wrap the adjustable strap snugly—not tight—and secure the velcro. Common mistake: placing the sensor on the sole or ankle leads to inaccurate readings. Always check the placement guide in the app.
- Pair the sock with the app: Open the app and follow the on-screen pairing instructions. Hold the sensor near your phone until the app confirms connection. You'll see live data for pulse rate and oxygen levels once paired. If pairing fails, move the phone closer and ensure no other Bluetooth devices are interfering. Restart the app if needed.
- Set up alerts and customize settings: In the app, enable alerts for high/low heart rate, low oxygen, and sock disconnection. Adjust the alert sensitivity if desired. You can also set up a base station for audible alerts if your phone is out of range. Test the alert by removing the sock briefly—the app should notify you within 10 seconds. Adjust volume so you can hear it at night.
- Monitor and interpret the data: Check the app for real-time pulse rate, oxygen level, and sleep pattern graphs. Green indicators mean normal; yellow or red require attention. Review the sleep summary each morning to track trends. Remember: the sock is a monitoring tool, not a medical device. Always consult your pediatrician if you have concerns about readings.
