When we wondered what families most enjoyed about their Nanit, we obviously had to go straight to the experts to find out…that’s our parent community!
It’s so fun to hear from our amazing Nanit Community about the tools and Nanit features you’re especially loving. From the auto-captured highlights and memories to Sound + Light’s soothing white noise to the ability to track your baby’s breathing motion, every parent and family has their favorite functionalities. Here are the top Nanit features that came up again and again:
When it comes to connection, parents love:
1. Ability to Connect from Anywhere
What Makes It Great: With a smart baby monitor and the Nanit App, you’ll never have to miss a moment. You can tune into your child’s video live stream whether you’re at home or away.
In Our Community’s Own Words: “My fiancé is in the Navy and out of state. I love that I can add him to have access to the camera so he will be able to talk to, see, and play sounds for our son.” - Jesskawaii
“Our favorite feature is the ability for my husband to check in on our baby throughout the night even while he’s on night shift. We love the Nanit cameras! ❤️” - hannahgowen
“My favorite feature is being able to log into the camera to see my baby when I’m away from home. You can’t do that with traditional, short-range monitors!” - HannahH
2. Two-Way Audio
What Makes It Great: Nanit’s two-way audio feature and cry detection notification allow parents and caregivers to hear—and respond—to their child right from the Nanit App.
In Our Community’s Own Words: “My favorite feature is the two-way microphone. When I am away, I love hearing my baby interact with my partner and speak to them.” - Angelina
“The two-way audio lets me soothe one child while still tending to the other, a feature that has proven invaluable when juggling the needs of two under two. The app is easy to use, even when I’m switching between monitoring my newborn and my toddler. Overall, the Nanit Pro has become a crucial part of our daily routine, helping us stay connected to our babies no matter where we are in the house.” - Brandon
When it comes to sleep success, parents love:
3. Sleep Analytics and Personalized Tips
What Makes Them Great: Nanit tracks valuable details such as length of time asleep, when a child falls asleep, wakeups, and more. Spot sleep patterns and receive research-backed tips, advice, and routines from Nanit Lab's pediatric experts based on your child’s personal history with sleep analytics features. This level of personalized sleep coaching helps Nanit parents get 36 more nights of sleep a year!
In Our Community’s Own Words: “The sleep tips generated from our sleep habits have been an absolute game changer! We’ve adjusted routines and taken the tips into consideration and gotten much better sleep as a result!” - nhepler25
“We love the analytics and stats each night. It is nice to see his sleep efficiency as well as the number of visits we make each night. I also can’t get over the quality of the night vision on the camera. It helps us to see him and know if he is awake or just making noise in his sleep!” - Lsumsbake
“Our favorite feature is seeing the weekly stats emails and seeing how we are doing - but also along with the emails, we love receiving the sleep suggestions and how to improve quality of sleep and the suggested nap schedules.” - cls010
“We love how our Nanit has been able to grow with us as she gets older. Love the little summary videos, and the sleep time has been great for tracking daytime naps.” - ETP

When it comes to real-time notifications, parents love:
4. Breathing Wear and Breathing Motion Monitoring
What Makes Them Great: Instead of sensors or radar, our Nanit Breathing Band and Breathing Wear feature a custom-designed pattern that, in combination with our Pro Baby Monitor, tracks your baby’s breathing motion. If your baby needs you, you’ll be notified in real time.
In Our Community’s Own Words: “Breathing Wear allows me to sleep in peace, especially when I might be extra worried while my baby is sick. She has an extra set of eyes on her all the time! :)” - amyszabo241
“We absolutely love how Nanit keeps track of her breathing. As a new mom who was terrified of everything, having that feature in our baby monitor was something that allowed me to feel a little better when she naps on her own.” - Mrobin31
“We get so much better sleep knowing Nanit is monitoring his breathing [motion] and I can track how he’s doing throughout the night. The peace of mind is worth every penny.” - samantha_hassel

5. Notifications and Smart Notifications
What Makes Them Great: To help take the guesswork out of when your baby needs you most, Nanit’s innovative technology notices and sends you real-time sound and motion alerts in-app. Stay informed at the level that feels right to you with our broad range of customizable Nanit notifications. As your little one gets bigger, utilize Smart Notifications such as Baby Standing and Child Out of Bed to set boundaries and keep your toddler safe. One of the many ways Nanit grows along with your family!
In Our Community’s Own Words: “We really like the sound notifications to catch when he is stirring and waking up. They help me get to him before he gets too stressed out.” - Prees
“I love that the Nanit pairs with my Apple Watch—getting a notification on my wrist that there is movement or sound is so helpful!” - balke6
“The Nanit Pro is absolutely the best smart monitor on the market. It sends you real-time customizable sound, cry, and movement notifications. I loved getting a heads-up when my son cried.” - Maya G.
“I’m a Nanit believer! Since transitioning our daughter to her crib, I find it comforting and relieving that I can rely on our Nanit to record her throughout the evenings and nap times. It notifies me when she awakens and I haven’t experienced any disruption from our WIFI.” - LBAG0113
