For new parents, the postpartum period can feel like a rollercoaster. I know, because I’ve been there.
There’s joy, excitement, and fear, along with countless moments of sheer exhaustion, especially during those late-night feeds and early-morning meltdowns. It’s no secret — baby sleep therapists and night nurses often come with a hefty price tag. However, some parents have found a more affordable solution, and it’s officially on sale ahead of Amazon Prime Day for under $200.
The Owlet Dream Sock is an FDA-cleared smart baby monitor that lets parents track their baby’s pulse rate, oxygen levels, sleep trends, and wakeups in real time, all from anywhere using the Owlet Dream App. For first-time parents, it’s considered a serious “game-changer,” with thousands of reviewers suggesting it helps them sleep better and reduces some of their nighttime anxiety.
“Wish I had bought this sooner because it brings me so much peace of mind and I can finally sleep easier,” one new mom, who said she suffers from post-partum anxiety, shared. “My premie is six months old now and has started rolling over at night, and I woke up one night to her face down in her crib… Now that she’s wearing this, I can sleep again knowing that the alarm will wake me up.”
For a limited time, the best-selling Owlet Dream Sock is $70 off. Shop this early Prime Day deal before the big event kicks off on October 7 and 8, and save more on some of the best baby deals of the season.
Struggling with sleep deprivation? You’re far from alone, and there’s no need to feel powerless. The Owlet Dream Sock is a convenient, FDA-cleared device that fits snugly around your baby’s foot to monitor vital signs like pulse rate, oxygen levels, and sleep patterns. This real-time data is sent directly to your phone through the Owlet Dream App, giving parents peace of mind from the next room over.

This annual Amazon sale — which we like to call October Prime Day — is similar to the well-known July event: it’s a two-day blow out shopping event with deep discounts on bestsellers and everyday essentials. But the timing of this sale makes all the difference; shoppers can also score pre-Black Friday deals on top-rated toys and sell-out-risk gifts before the holiday rush.
Amazon’s fall Prime Day event only lasts two days. This sale starts on Tuesday October 7 at 12:01 a.m. PT and runs through Wednesday October 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
Prime Big Deal Days 2025 ends on Wednesday October 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT, so east-coasters have until about 3 a.m. on October 9 their time to shop the deals.
Prime Big Deal Days is a member-exclusive sale event. Interested shoppers can grab a 30-day free trial to try Prime, and its many benefits, with no strings attached.
Already familiar with July Prime Day? Then you’ll love Amazon’s fall version! Like its summer spectacular sale, Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days offers major discounts for 48 hours, but with a bigger focus on holiday gifts, toys and tech to shop ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
From reporting on Amazon sales for years, we can tell you for certain that October Prime Day is the ideal period to stock up on household essentials, score great deals on gift-worthy items and toys, take advantage of Black Friday-level discounts on tech and appliances, refill your skincare empties, and comb through the massive catalog of Amazon best-sellers.
We certainly think so! October Prime Day is a great chance to score Black Friday-worthy deals on thousands of best-sellers, including everything from big-ticket tech to Post reader-favorite trash bags. Our team diligently sorts through all the offers to find you the very best items to grab on sale.
Already wondering when Amazon’s next Prime Day is? Prime Day takes place in July each year, so it’s safe to assume it will take place in mid-July 2026 — similar to previous years. Can’t wait to shop more Amazon deals? Look out for Amazon’s Black Friday sales to kick off the holiday season in November.
