Owlet Dream Sock ($300)
This "smart sock" is a favorite among new parents who crave a little extra peace of mind. It slips onto your baby's foot and keeps an eye on things like sleep patterns, heart rate, and overall wellness cues, sending the updates straight to your phone. It's not a medical device, but for anyone who sleeps lighter than their newborn or just likes having a clearer picture of what's going on overnight, that steady feed of information may be really comforting. Find out how it saved one of our editors' postpartum sleep in our Owlet Dream Sock review.
Editor Quote: "The Owlet Dream Sock helped ease at least some of my postpartum worries. In the first few weeks of my son's life, he slept in a bassinet right by my bed, but I was so sleep-deprived, I worried that I wouldn't necessarily wake up if he was in distress. Knowing the Owlet Dream Sock was tracking key health measures and would alert me if one of them dipped was reassuring." — Mirel Zaman, former health and fitness content director
