When I was making mybaby registry, I remember breezily saying to my husband, “Oh, let’s not be those parents who have to watch their kid’s every move. Let’s just buy an audiobaby monitor. Or maybe we won’t even get one at all.” Thankfully, one of my mom friends talked some sense into me and convinced us to at least buy a basic closed-circuit video monitor. Sure, there were those fancy internet-based ones that you could watch from anywhere, but I didn’t want to be that mom who spied on her babysitter constantly. No, that wasn’t me at all.
然后我不得不go back to work and realized Iwasapprehensive about leaving my baby in the hands of a person I hardly knew. Plus, our basic-model monitor was constantly running out of battery and losing reception. It was fine for our small apartment, but when we visited my parents’ house, I didn’t feel comfortable leaving her on a different floor without something more reliable. And that's whenthe Nanit扑进我的生活。
Let’s get this out of the way first: It’s an investment. I’m sure you’re balking at yet another high price tag for a baby item you don’ttechnicallyneed. But this thing will make your life as a new parent infinitely easer, whether you’re checking the temperature and humidity of the baby’s room at a glance, tracking stats on theNanit app(“Am I crazy or has Peanut been waking up more at night this week than last week?”), getting remote alerts to see how your baby is napping with her sitter or packing it up in seconds to pop into your suitcase for travel. There’s even a feature that lets you talk to your baby anywhere, so you could technically sing her a lullaby from your desk at work. There’s also an optionalbreathing bandthat monitors your baby’s breaths per minute and integrates seamlessly with the app.
