" ...  Finally, the sleep tracking is an awesome feature but I haven’t had to use it much now that the little guy is reliably sleeping through the night. ... I’ll certainly be buying another Nanit camera before our second baby arrives this summer and we go back to square one on the sleep training situation though.  ...  "
comment
" ...  It was really helpful tracking our baby’s sleep while using the Snoo, and now that he’s in a regular crib, the Nanit is ideal for continued sleep tracking  ...  "
comment
" ...  The Nanit has certainly been the best in several categories including: picture quality, ease of use, and helping us to improve sleep habits. ... After hiring a sleep coach with our first child, I liked this function.  ...  "

" ...  Nanit's subscription service through the mobile app provides insight into your baby's sleep patterns, records sounds and motions, and allows you to use that information to better help your baby sleep through the night with the use of a dashboard.  ...  "

comment
" ...  They have fast motion recap videos of events (putting to bed, going to sleep, waking up, visits, etc) which are great to look back at! ... Day reviews and sleep stats are great to review when you can't remember how long your baby took at all nap times - it will tell you total time for the day and night. ... I would absolutely recommend it for people who want to have more insight and reminders into when their baby is asleep, moving or waking up and time lapse recordings they can look back on.  ...  "

comment
" ...  I try 2 different monitors before getting Nanit and the quality in picture is by far superior and the sound , I love the idea of the stand and multi stand as we can move the camera to the living room during the day since my babies take their naps there, plus we don't need to make holes on the wall , and it is super easy to travel with as well.  ...  "
