The Baby Monitor That Still Has My Back: Why I’m Still Obsessed with Nanit

You know that moment when you’re building your baby registry and every product starts to blur together? The swaddles, the bottles, the twenty different types of pacifiers you’re not sure your baby will even take? That was me.

But there was one thing I put on my registry that I’ve used every single day since my son was born. And spoiler alert, I’m still using it now that he’s a toddler. That’s how good it is. Let me introduce you to Nanit — the smart baby monitor that does so much more than just show you what’s happening in the crib.

Why Nanit Was a No-Brainer for My Registry

When I was pregnant, I was on a mission to find the products that would actually make life easier. The kind of things that would grow with my baby, give me peace of mind, and help me feel like I had a handle on this whole motherhood thing (even if I really didn’t). I did my research. I read the reviews. And Nanit checked every box. It was easy to installIt tracks sleep, breathing, and milestonesIt sends real-time alerts and insightsIt pairs with an app that actually makes senseAnd it has a sleek design that looks great in any nursery.

Fast Forward to Toddler Life

These days, Nanit is still very much part of our daily routine. It’s mounted in my son’s nursery, and I also have a second one set up in our playroom using the portable floor stand.

This setup has been a game-changer during independent playtime, especially when I’m trying to get things done around the house… or let’s be honest, drink a hot cup of coffee in peace. And when it comes to travel, we never leave home without Nanit. The stand is lightweight, super easy to pack, and gives me the same peace of mind we have at home. No awkward hotel monitor setups or wondering if he’s sleeping okay in a new place.

Data That Matters (Especially When You're Sleep Deprived)

Nanit doesn’t just show you what’s happening — it gives you real insights into your baby’s sleep patterns, including breathing motion and how often they’re waking up. It also tracks developmental milestones, which is something I didn’t know I needed until I had it. When you’re a tired mom running on fumes, this info is absolute gold.

The Mother’s Day Gift That Keeps on Giving

With Mother’s Day right around the corner, I’ve been thinking a lot about what moms actually want. And while spa days and brunch are lovely, sometimes the greatest gift we can give a mom is peace of mind. From May 2 through May 11, Nanit is offering 20% off sitewide for their Mother’s Day Sale. And if you use my code LindseyC20, you’ll also get a free piece of Nanit sleepwear with your purchase.

Whether you’re shopping for a new mom, building your registry, or want to upgrade your current monitor setup — this is the moment to do it. I don’t promote things I don’t actually use and love, and Nanit has truly been one of the most helpful tools in my motherhood journey.

If you’re in the newborn trenches, chasing a toddler, or somewhere in between — I see you. And if Nanit can help you get a little more rest and a lot more peace of mind, I’m all for it.
