We have included third party products to help you navigate and enjoy life’s biggest moments. Purchases made through links on this page may earn us a commission.

Once baby leaves the comfort of your room to sleep, you still want to keep a close eye. The Nanit not only gives you a clear view of what’s going on in baby’s room, but a full picture of how long and well they are sleeping each night—helping you conquer both baby sleep and separation anxiety.

What We Love

  • First and foremost, the video quality is superb (even at night) and the above-the-crib design gives you a clear, unobstructed picture of your baby without grainy effects or crib bars in the way
  • The monitor has a ceiling-facing, soft night light that automatically dims throughout the night—giving you just enough light to find that missing pacifier or lovey in the dark
  • Don’t want to be glued to the monitor? Nanit sends you alerts to your smartphone if baby is fussing, moving or awake
  • Sleep insight reports and nightly sleep scores help you understand your baby’s patterns and preferences

Summary

Become a master of baby sleep with this brilliant monitor.
