Thoughts on baby monitors? We’re considering the Nanit Pro but I honestly think it’s overpriced and I don’t care to subscribe to their packages for “insights” just need a good monitor that allows me to watch and listen to my baby while they sleep.

I thought it was a waste of money but then someone gifted it to me and now I swear by it.

Year 1 = no subscription fees. Gives you insights when ur kid calls asleep (not just when u put them in bed) so if ur following wake windows, then u know how much they sleep, when they wake up and when they need to sleep again. Everything is easier when u know that they're getting close to the end of their wake window, in my opinion!

Congrats and good luck :)

Had the same hesitations on the nanit, but tbh its been really nice to have the ability to look in from our phones while one of us is out of town or we have sitters. One additional frustration is I do think we had to subscribe to a plan in order to be able to allow other users (ie g-parents/sitters). Would love to hear if there are better options with the phone app optionality.

I specifically wanted one without wifi, and we went with the babysense max view. We previously had the infant optics and the babysense is miles better in terms of monitor quality and ability to add additional cameras (I.e there’s a split screen view to see both at the same time vs infant optics rotates between the cameras)
