"Because I had that data, I was able to recognize that something wasn’t right."
“When Birdie was almost five months old, she caught RSV. She’s typically such a happy, content baby, so at first nothing seemed alarming beyond a cough and congestion. But as the days progressed, I started noticing subtle changes.
One night while she was sleeping, I was watching her Owlet Dream Sock readings in the app and saw her oxygen levels trending lower than her normal baseline. It wasn’t dramatic at first — just a steady downward shift. Because I had that data, I was able to recognize that something wasn’t right.
Our Dream Sock didn’t replace medical care, but it gave me objective information that helped me trust my instincts. When I noticed the pattern continuing along with increased work of breathing, we decided to take her in. She ended up needing medical support, and am grateful we were able to get her checked out when we did.
As a mom, RSV is terrifying because babies can look “okay” until they’re suddenly not. Having our Dream Sock gave us peace of mind at home and helped us feel informed rather than guessing. I’m incredibly grateful we had it during that season.” - Amberly W.
