[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mom of three, I’m constantly on the go between school drop-offs, pickups, and activities for my older children. Being able to check in on my baby’s sleep and breathing patterns from anywhere has been a complete game changer. Although he still wakes frequently throughout the night, I love being able to review his nighttime wake-ups, see how long he was awake, and track how often we checked on him.
The setup process was incredibly simple. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and I especially love that I can move the monitor around the house with his bassinet rather than having it permanently mounted to a wall.
Even with this being my third baby, I still experience anxiety during those early newborn months. Having the breathing monitor and access to his overnight stats has provided so much peace of mind. No matter where I am in the house, I can easily monitor his patterns and know that I’ll receive a loud alert if his breathing can no longer be detected.
I also appreciate having both the app and the dedicated monitor. The portable monitor allows me to keep an eye on him while still using my phone for other tasks throughout the day.
One of my favorite features is the ability to save recordings of special moments. Watching him wake up in the morning with his adorable swaddle stretches and newborn scrunches never gets old. Being able to capture and save those memories—and share them with family—has been incredibly special.
I truly can’t recommend this monitor enough. It has given me both convenience and peace of mind during a busy season of life.
I received this Nanit through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a parent, the Nanit Smart Baby Monitor System has been one of the most helpful baby products we've used. It has given me peace of mind while also helping me stay connected to my little one, whether I'm in another room of the house or away from home.

The setup process was quick and straightforward, and I appreciated how easy it was to get everything connected through the app. The video quality is excellent, and I love being able to check in on my baby anytime from my phone. The real-time notifications have been especially helpful, alerting me when my baby wakes up or needs attention without having to constantly watch the monitor.
One of my favorite features is the sleep dashboard. It provides helpful insights into my baby's sleep patterns and has made it easier to understand routines and make adjustments when needed. I also use the feeding and diaper log regularly, which keeps everything organized in one place and makes it simple to track daily activities.
The two-way audio feature has been great for soothing my baby without immediately entering the room, and the breathing motion monitoring gives an extra layer of reassurance during sleep. As a parent, those little moments of peace of mind are invaluable.
I also love being able to share access with family members and caregivers. It helps everyone stay informed and connected, especially when grandparents are helping out or want to check in on their grandchild.
Overall, the Nanit Smart Baby Monitor System has made me feel more confident in my day-to-day parenting. Between the sleep insights, activity tracking, and reliable monitoring, it has become an essential part of our daily routine. I would absolutely recommend it to other parents looking for a smart, easy-to-use baby monitor that offers both convenience and peace of mind.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We recently welcomed our second child who is almost 4 months now. I’d wanted to try the Nanit our first child who is now 4, but we ended up going a different route, so I was excited when I got the opportunity to test this thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
Life as the parent of a newborn can be intense. We found it, especially challenging having a winter baby as our second baby, because we were worried all the time about him catching a cold and getting sick much earlier than we experienced the first time around. Having a system that monitors your babies breathing, especially in those early months—I can’t overstate how much value and reassurance that adds to your life. Nana offers this with its breathing band and camera system, and it’s just amazing to be able to let your baby sleep confidently even when they’ve got a little bit of a cold.
We found a set up of the camera, a little bit challenging, but I think for certain use cases, the challenge we found actually would be a huge benefit. We’re homeowners so we could have put a baby camera installed directly on the wall wherever we want. If you’re renter, however, and you’re not able to drill into the wall, I think the Nanit is absolutely the right monitor for you. It came with a stand that is extremely sturdy and well-made, and they’ve constructed it even so that you’re not gonna have a loose cord; built into the stand is a cord protection system, so that when your baby is crawling, you don’t need to worry about protecting them from a strangulation hazard. I’ve never seen anything quite like it before and I think it would be incredible for people who are not able to customize in the way that you can if you own your home. It’s not the most intuitive setup, but once you get it done, you’re not going to have to do it again, and you’re not going to worry about safety.
We found the breathing band easy to use with our child’s bassinet. It’s spring time here so we were comfortable putting the baby in just pajamas, but I’m not sure how I would’ve handled the breathing band in the winter, when the baby really needs a sleep sack (Nanit might make those; I’m not sure, I wasn’t sent one to test). One note: if you use a Snoo, this will not work with the Snoo sack. That said, if you got the Nanit just for the camera function, it’s going to way outlast the life of the Snoo, which maxes out around six months.
We got to try both the monitor screen as well as the phone-as-monitor functionality, which the monitors we’ve used for years don’t offer. It’s really convenient to be able to do a quick check on your phone. The monitor screen is quite, large bigger than my 6 inch Kindle for reference, but if you can use your phone while you move around the house and leave a large monitor screen plugged in maybe in the kitchen, that may not matter. I would’ve liked to be able to pop the monitor screen into my pocket, but again, you can really just use your phone.
Overall, I was really impressed with the Nanit system. This is a very high high-quality baby monitor system, and you may feel you outgrow the breathing band camera functionality at some point, but you will have a monitor for many years, and it’s worth getting one that you like and offers the functionality that you need. The Nanit will have a home in my new babies, nursery for the next few years for sure.
I’m pretty disappointed in the monitor. Probably 1/3 of the time the monitor will have lost connection and I don’t know that it’s not monitoring my child then I go to wake up the monitor and it says not connected to WiFi then instantly connects after I wake it up and meanwhile my child has been awake for 30 min and I couldn’t hear him because it wasn’t connected but I didn't know until I checked it. Just feels like I have to use my phone just incase the monitor disconnects so what’s the point of even having the monitor.
We absolutely love our Nanit baby monitor and would highly recommend it to other parents. The video quality is excellent, the app is easy to use, and the sleep insights have been incredibly helpful. It gives us great peace of mind, especially with a toddler and newborn in the house. The only reason I'm not giving it a perfect score is that the camera frequently displays a "reconnecting to Wi-Fi" message, even when it is already connected and our Wi-Fi signal is strong. The connection doesn't usually drop, but the repeated notifications can be frustrating and sometimes make us question whether the monitor is working properly. Overall, it's still the best baby monitor we've used, and the features far outweigh this one annoyance. If Nanit could improve the connectivity notifications, it would be a 5-star product for us.
The fact that it only shows you live footage without subscription is wild. There are way more affordable live footage cameras out there. Unless you’re anxious worried about your kids breathing is not worth it.
