Meet Pro Parent Meaghan Steele Moore

Meaghan is Mom to her 17 month-old son, Grayson. She and her family live just outside of Vancouver in a town called Tsawwassen.

What does your bedtime routine usually look like?

On a typical night, my husband gives Grayson a bath while I have a chance to tidy our downstairs. Then I help by taking him out of the bath. As most toddler parents know, sometimes it’s like wrestling an alligator so we get him dressed and ready for bed together. One entertains and one dresses! My husband rocks him to sleep and gives him a bottle and once he’s fast asleep, puts him into his crib with his sound machine turned on and Nanit monitoring his sleep!

Why Nanit?

I've been using the Nanit baby monitor since the day he came home and it's been a game-changer. Not only does it provide high-quality video of my baby in real-time, but it also tracks his sleep patterns and even analyzes his breathing movements. It's like having an extra set of eyes and a safety net, giving me peace of mind, especially during those early postpartum days. I struggled with a lot of postpartum anxiety (PPA), especially in regards to SIDS and his breathing, and Nanit helped combat this tremendously.

Favorite Nanit products and features?

My favorite feature of the camera is hands down, the morning recaps and the day/night recaps in general. Aside from the camera, I love the new light and sound machine.

How does Nanit support you as a parent?

Now that Grayson is older, it allows me to keep track of his sleeping patterns and allows me the freedom to let him sleep but still be able to do my chores while he is just a click away. It’s so interesting to see what positions he sleeps in. Additionally, I love being able to see the recaps over and over again.
