The Nanit Pro Smart Baby Monitor is quite popular among parents who want to keep an eye on their baby’s sleep and safety. One big attraction is the Breathing Motion Monitoring, which is cool because it doesn't use any physical sensors. Instead, it works with Nanit's Breathing Wear, combining that with camera algorithms to track your baby's breathing. This feature can be a relief for many parents, as the manufacturer describes it.

However, it's not perfect. From what we've found, there can be some hiccups with connectivity and how consistently the Breathing Motion Monitoring works. Some feedback mentions that if the baby moves a lot, the monitor might lose track of the Breathing Wear, causing the monitoring to stop unexpectedly.

Plus, it really needs a good Wi-Fi connection to run smoothly; any disruptions there, and you might notice a drop in performance.

As for the subscription, this is something to think about carefully. The basic features are available with the monitor, but to really unlock everything—like accessing historical data and deep sleep analytics—you'd probably need to keep paying for their Insights service after the initial trial. Some people find the subscription costs a bit high, especially compared to monitors that don’t have extra fees.

It's worth considering how this ongoing cost fits into your budget.

On the bright side, the design and overall functionality of the Nanit Pro get a lot of praise. It's great for detailed sleep insights and can monitor more than one baby at a time, which is handy if you have twins or multiple little ones.

So, deciding if the subscription is worth it depends on what matters most to you. If having advanced features and peace of mind are top priorities and you’re okay with the subscription fees, it could be a valuable tool for you.
