MAMA BEHIND THE SQUARES Nanit Plus
The mama behind Absolutely Mama’s Instagram feed, Jessica Shaltout, puts the latest parenting kit through its paces @absolutelymama
U
nbelievably, baby monitors have moved on in the 3 years since our last baby was born and the Nanit Plus is no exception. Bulky monitors are out and phone apps are in – you can see what your baby is up to wherever you are and the HD video and night vision quality give a crystal clear view, unlike our grainy old monitor. Being a bit of a numbers geek, what I love about the Nanit Plus is the daily stats you get – how many wake ups, how many hours they actually slept etc. They then send you a weekly summary email which offers tips and advice based on your baby’s sleep pattern that week. It’s like having a sleep trainer on hand! If you are like me and often forget what actually happened the night before, not only do you have the daily stats to remind you the next morning but there is actual video evidence! The camera captures all the significant moments in a digital scrapbook. There are plenty of other features, like the breathing vests, that provide peace of mind in the early days, but for me, this baby monitor is best for parents who are looking to start some sleep training.
Prices start from £299;
