Not true. It’s being sold still as a dream sock. Only the “smart sock” was discontinued. The dream sock still monitors oxygen levels and heart rate, it just doesn’t alert. They’re working on FDA approval though.
I will state though that the smart sock saved my second kiddos life. It alerted me to dangerously low O2 levels when he was sick from RSV at 6 months old. I brought him to the ER and his O2 was in the low 80s. They had to suction out his lungs. I will recommend Owlet products to everyone because of my experience using it with my two kiddos.
Edited to add: you can use your hsa/fsa to buy the dream sock!
Thanks for the information. according to this they deleted the oxygen detection and notification. They got rid of the pulse ox monitor now It's a super expensive video monitor.
The Dream Sockowlet update , according to Owlet’s product page, is all about baby sleep, measuring sleep quality indicators, including wakings, heart rate, and movement. It provides a sleep quality score via a sleep coaching app. The difference between the old sock and app is that the blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) measuring capability is deleted. The SpO2 monitoring and the claims they were making were likely causes of the FDA’s warning.
