No parent is perfect, myself very much included. But I recently started giving myself permission to acknowledge the things I’m doing well while feeling proud of myself as a mother. One such thing is my decision to invest in the Nanit Pro baby monitor.
Initially, I had some guilt about the cost, thinking I could probably make do without the bells and whistles. But the truth is, this tool has soothed many of my anxieties as a mom, allowing me the energy to be my best self during my son’s waking hours. Here’s a look into how our Nanit Pro is improving my parenting and my family’s life:
1. I can stay connected to my little one, always
You know how sometimes we can’t wait for our kids to go to sleep, then the moment they’re down, we miss them? I wasn’t prepared for how true this is. But the Nanit app helps with that longing since it allows me to check on my son from just about anywhere. What’s more, the crystal-clear 1080p HD video quality—whether the room is light or dark—alleviated my urge to study a blurry screen wondering if my baby’s airways were clear.
For parents of two kids, this is the only smart monitor with a Split Screen feature that allows you to see and control two cameras at the same time in the Nanit app. My sister-in-law loves this, since it’s important to be able to provide the same level of attention to both of her children.
2. My dearest photo album dreams are our reality
The other day at our play group, my friends were lamenting over how terrible they are about printing photos from their phones and doing something with them. The Memories feature of the Nanit app has me two steps ahead of them.
Not only can I snap a professional-quality photo of my peaceful babe from my phone using the monitor’s camera, I’m also able to record the sweet details, like the first time my Henry fell asleep on his own and a compilation of me picking him up in the morning. Seriously, what other product can do that?
3. I can sleep soundly knowing I’ll be notified if I’m needed
In the earliest days of Henry’s life, I would startle awake in worry throughout the night. It created a pattern that I had trouble shaking even after he outgrew the newborn phase. What helped ease me the most? Nanit Pro’s sensor-free breathing monitor and detailed sleep analytics with personalized expert tips, which I could access in real-time.
Knowing that all these features were there at my fingertips—and that I’d be pinged by the monitor’s sound and motion alerts if necessary—created calmer nights for me. This amounted to the ability to be more attentive to my son’s waking needs during the day.
An extra layer of comfort is that this technology comes with exceptional security by way of 256-bit AES encryption. So I know my husband and I are the only ones with access to images and information about our sweet bean.
4. I can keep our routine consistent even when we’re away
A normal night’s sleep at home comes with the comfort of nature sounds provided by the Nanit Pro — same goes for nap time. When we’re visiting grandparents or on vacation, sleep is equally important, but more of a delicate balance. So, our Nanit Pro comes with us!
We have the travel pack, which comes with a case, a portable stand, and an extra charger, so we can set the tone for consistent sleep wherever we are. It’s one more way I care for my son’s needs, that makes it such a joy to be his mom.
Nanit is working so well for our family
The Nanit Pro is a top-rated monitor with thousands of 5-star reviews and it wears the badge of being recommended by Baby List. All that is meaningless if it doesn’t serve our needs in reality—but it does. All the sharp, quality features of this smart monitor have culminated in a version of myself with soothed nerves and the ability to sleep soundly, making me a better mother to my little one. I wouldn’t trade that for anything.
