Real talk: the Nanit Pro Camera was at the tippity-top of my wish list last year. I joke that I fell deeper in love with my husband when he had it wrapped under the tree for me!
Almost a year later I’m here loving Nanit’s smart baby monitor so much, I practically feel like asking for another one, so I can keep one at my parents’ or stow one in my car for weekend trips. If I had it my way, I’d have one for every room…
Ok, my hopes aside, I’m just going to make my case for why you should ask for a Nanit Pro Camera this year. Here’s how it exceeded every expectation I had:
1. I live for the Nanit app’s insights, which help parents interpret sleep, breathing, and growth analytics
When I had my son, I became delightfully obsessed with every detail. I swooned over all the weigh-ins and developments, and if I weren’t so sleep-deprived, I might’ve just stayed up all night to watch him sleep. Nanit Pro is here to make all that happen. Their video recording captures your little’s movements with its crystal-clear 1080 HD video quality. The quality is just as impressive when the room is dark.
Where Nanit takes this a step further is with their Insights, which help you turn potential pain points into learnings. You’ll get personalized sleep tips from experts to help understand all the sleep data, as well as Cry Detection, Breathing Motion Monitoring, Memories, and even Growth tracking with the Smart Sheets. It feels so supportive that this device not only tracks the information, but also helps me make sense of it.
2. Nanit’s setup has my little one sleeping longer
Among the specs that are tracked by this Camera are temperature and humidity. With this info available, you can adjust however you need to make your baby cozy, and optimize their night’s sleep.
This might seem like small potatoes until you consider that babies monitored by the Nanit sleep 10% longer on average. That means more sleep for the parents, too. Let that sink in!
Should your child awaken in the night, the two-way talk feature lets you and your baby hear each other, even when your phone screen is dark. If you determine other sounds might be more conducive to your baby easing back to sleep, you have options for white noise and nature sounds.
3. I can exhale knowing Nanit is monitoring every moment, meaning I can, too
Before owning the Nanit personally, my only hesitation was the safety of all this data my Pro Camera would capture. My worries were eased by knowing there is 256-bit AES encryption built in to provide exceptional security.
That was one anxiety put to rest, and the other was the sensor-free method the Nanit has of monitoring my baby’s breathing. This Camera uses motion monitoring to keep an eye on breathing patterns, and will send an alert to my phone in an instant if I need to check on my son. I can’t say how much I appreciate this feature, and the huge weight it has lifted.
This monitor is my favorite thing I own
And I’m not the only one who feels that way. The Nanit Pro is top-rated, with more than 4,500 5-star reviews. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nanit’s award-winning monitor comes recommended by Babylist, NYT’s Wirecutter, and Good Housekeeping Parenting—AKA people who know their stuff.
The Nanit Pro Camera costs $299 with the Wall Mount, $399 with the Floor Stand, or $249 with the Flex Stand, which you can take with you on the go. Whichever route you choose, I know you’ll be so satisfied you’ll find yourself in my camp: absolutely obsessed and wishing you could buy the whole setup a second time just to profess your loyalty.
