I love this monitor but Sometimes the alerts aren't accurate. Its also sometimes problematic to have the monitor on my phone instead of on a separate device.
We’ve had several breathing alerts since our baby was born, and even if they were false alarms (we’re not 100% sure) the peace of mind has been great. It functions well as a monitor with or without the breathing band.
Overall the product is fantastic. So many features such as tracking feeds and diapers, crystal clear camera, etc. My only problem is that the breathing band only works when baby is not in a swaddle or is in a Nanit swaddle.
