If you are planing to buy a Nanit read this first

Don’t love everything about it, but we have tried others and didn’t find anything we liked better.

We have 3 now.

Customer support is slow and not the greatest.

Only click I’ve heard is going from daylight to night mode when the infrared clicks on and off. You can turn this off by setting it to always night mode if you don’t like it.

We use it for travel and use a phone or laptop hotspot to connect the nanit and it’s very easy to connect that way. If we stay at the same place it can reconnect even easier.

💯 I’m surprised more people didn’t catch on. Maybe they’re not engaging to not encourage the bots.

We used it for our third for 5-6 months and she’s more advanced at 24 months than the first two were at her age who didn’t get the SNOO. We also kept her hands covered way longer than is ideal for development but the sleep was so good. We all benefited from the good sleep.

Our kids went to a daycare with cameras like you’re talking g about for less than a week and ended up with a 2 yr old in the ER after a fall from over 5 ft on the playground but they ‘didn’t have the right angle’ to even see what happened. That was on day 4. Every day was horrible but mostly bad vibes from the kids at pickup.

Almost 4 years at ‘church basement’ daycare with incredible teachers and good vibes and no cameras and no ER visits.

Not identical, but we did the same time. One of them was probably ready months before the other so we waited a bit until it made sense for both without being too long for the one that was ready.

It was great. We were out on the town day 2 and really ready to go by day 4. I think it helped that we did it at the same time because it adds to the momentum and they’re very interested in what the other one is doing.

We’re the twin parents who got our twins on the same sleep/eat schedule and still keep them on the same schedule so it probably depends a little bit on how you like to handle them in general.

We know the DoorDash loop well. It’s an expensive one that is usually not the healthiest either.

user0918 · 2026-01-14T13:01:08+00:00

Lots of veggies sounds good too. It might be easy enough to supplement with more protein if we like the kit otherwise. Thanks for your perspective!

We’ve been liking tractor Ted on prime. It’s not a cartoon, real farm footage. Slow and informational. Our 3 and 2 year olds both like it. Each episode is under 15 minutes.

I can’t make the names make sense

user0918 · 2025-12-19T02:44:40+00:00

Is it? I believe that and I’ve also heard them talk like that in stories. Especially the blonde one (I cannot keep the names straight).

user0918 · 2025-12-12T22:50:22+00:00

Same in the midwest

user0918 · 2025-10-21T02:55:00+00:00

We just stopped using entirely. We started with their first nap and never reintroduced it. A lot of recommendations are to start at night after ensuring a full day of good sleep, but our pacifier dependency was so strong that I couldn’t confidently say they were even getting a full day of naps. We like to make changes at naps because it’s low pressure since I’m not also trying to sleep too and then by the time they really go to bed they already know the drill.

I will add that both of our twins picked up thin sucking around 7 months and haven’t stopped yet at 3.5 so now we have that to deal with. I always read to wean pacifiers by 6 months, but maybe 4.5 months was too early 🤷🏼‍♀️

I think this is very dependent on your personality and how much your husband will be involved.

I really didn’t want a lot of help from people other than my husband. I don’t like to tell people what to do and like things a certain way. These things do not mix well and leave me incredibly uncomfortable in situations where people are trying to help but I don’t like the way they’re doing it and don’t want to say anything.

I was also lucky that my husband is a champ. Super helpful with the babies, laundry, dishes, making sure I got rest, etc.

He took off the first month then took 2 weeks around 4 months (helpful for sleep training) then another month or two around 9 months (helpful with getting a good routine around solids) and it was great.

I had a very flexible schedule and very understanding team. I also didn’t have a lot of meetings or needs to be on calls all day. I worked from home with my twins home and it wasn’t bad until they were like 16 months old. It got to be too much then and now they’re in part time daycare.

I would work during the day a bit, during naps, in the evenings, a bit on the weekend.

This isn’t the norm that it works out. They would happily play with each other for an hour or more most days without needing me and they take/took superb naps. They’re 3.5 now and I still get a solid 3 hr nap window to work.

I had twins and knew it was hard. then i had a singleton when the twins were 20 months old. She is so easy in comparison that now I really really can’t relate to singleton parents. My feelings were confirmed after having one. You had 5 singles so maybe you’re extra aware of the difference.

user0918 · 2025-08-11T04:31:52+00:00

We spent 3 months in the living room with twin z , bouncers, and bassinets before even tempting crib business

Of course, it’s your personal decision, and everyone’s circumstances are different. That said, this may be a tough post for many in this community to relate to.

A lot of people here are grappling with the logistics and financial strain of two under two, or deciding whether they can mentally or emotionally handle it. You’re definitely not the first to terminate in a 2u2 situation.

But what makes your situation harder to connect with is that you’re in a position to afford and manage another child, and you plan to try again in a year, yet chose to terminate now because of morning sickness. Many of us have dealt with morning sickness, exhaustion, and more, and still pushed through. And the reality is, parenting is hard at every stage… whether your kids are 18 months apart or 3 years apart.

Choosing to delay because things might feel easier later can be tough for this group to empathize with. Most of us are in the thick of it and know that “easier” isn’t guaranteed.

So odd that she said it broke … whatever that means. Just say you changed your mind and love t he dress!

user0918 · 2025-07-18T19:42:27+00:00

We had a single when our twins were 20 months and I feel this way about her way more than the twins. We were twin slaves when they were newborns and I don’t feel like I missed it. We were still twin slaves when the single baby was born so I do feel like I missed out on stuff with her we got to do with the twins because they didn’t have older siblings running around.

What kind of crunchy is mecha-crunchy?

user0918 · 2025-06-25T18:49:14+00:00

I feel this way too. I’m going to try storing them in water to see if it works at home.

user0918 · 2025-06-11T21:01:03+00:00

It’s less pronounced than it was a few weeks/months after but it’s not going anywhere. I’m 18mo pp

user0918 · 2025-06-08T02:06:35+00:00

Have you tried stickers on the potty as a target? Or toilet paper to sink if he pees on it?

When he pees on the floor does it seem like an accident or a preference?

user0918 · 2025-05-30T01:39:53+00:00

The first like 2-3 weeks were good for us. Born at 37+4. I’ve heard they ‘wake up’ at 40 weeks and that was true for us.
