"We started using our Owlet Dream Sock after not getting much sleep due to how much anxiety I was experiencing. The first night his oxygen seemed a little low and we took it as maybe he was just too small for his Sock. The next night, his oxygen was reading 85% and we decided to go to the hospital to make sure he was okay. We got to the hospital and the readings were accurate and we were in the NICU for 4 days trying to figure out what was wrong. They didn’t find anything and told us it was just the altitude and some babies have more difficulty breathing where we lived.
We were sent home on oxygen and he was on oxygen for a little under a month. Two weeks after he had been cleared to get off the oxygen at home, it seemed he was struggling a little and our Dream Sock was also telling us it was a little too low for comfort. We went back to the hospital. His oxygen dropped to 79% about an hour or two after we had gotten there so it turned into another 4 day stay in the PICU this time. He recovered after a little oxygen therapy and we haven’t had a problem since.
We use our Dream Sock every single night. It has done nothing but provide us with the insight and information to ensure our baby is okay and is sleeping peacefully. Without our Dream Sock, we never would have known how low his oxygen was and might not have taken him to the hospital. I credit Owlet for allowing me to trust my instinct and protect my baby." - Breanna Z.
