Overview

Description

The Breathing Wear band fits over most pajamas and works exclusively with the Nanit Plus and Nanit Pro cameras. It tracks breathing motion by reading subtle movements in the fabric’s custom pattern—no sensors on their body or in the crib. Should baby need your attention, you’ll receive alerts on both your phone (through the Nanit app) and your camera.

The soft 100% cotton bands have secure flaps and feather-soft edges. Breathing motion is detected in any position, so it’s OK if baby switches positions.

7 Questions
Does 0-3 fit a newborn?

It does! The 0-3M size is for babies weighing between 6 to 12.5 lbs. The chest circumference should be from 11.25" to 19.75".

the Large 3 pack says 3-24 months but the description says large is 12-24 months. what is included in the large 3 pack then?

The Large 3-pack uses the original sizing. So these will be for 3-24 months.

I’m confused. Is the large 3-24 months like it says or 12-24 like the description? Do you have the medium?

The three pack comes in the original sizing where the Large is meant for 3-24 months. The sizing in the description is the updated sizing for the bands that are sold as singles.

Can the band work over a swaddle or over a sleep sack that already has their arms tucked in?

It can't. The Breathing Band can only be used over any garment if you place it underneath the baby’s arms.

Do you need the band for this feature? Could I put the band over a swaddle or sleep slack?

For the camera to accurately track your baby's breathing motion, it is important that the Breathing Wear band is visible without any obstructions. So it is not recommended to use a swaddle on top of the band.

Does baby need to sleep on their belly for this to work?

Great question! The breathing wear bands will work correctly no matter how the baby likes to sleep (belly, back or side). As long as the breathing wear band pattern is not obstructed by another item (like a blanket or stuffed animal) the camera can detect breathing from all angles.

Does this work with a sleep sack under or over it?

This Breathing Band does work if used over most pajamas and sleep sacks, as long as you place it around your baby's torso and under their arms so that it stays secure.

The breathing band helps us
The breathing band helps us rest peacefully knowing our stomach sleeper is doing ok! It enables us to track regardless of what she wears to bed, which is really helpful. It has held up great through many washes!

When it works, it works.
When it works, it works. Our camera constantly loses track of the band and stops recording babies breathing - which is the only reason we purchased this monitor. I wake up in the middle of the night to an influx of Nanit notifications all about how it’s not keeping my baby safe.

The breathing band makes it
The breathing band makes it easy to use with all outfits. I like the convenience of sizing and it being able to grow with my baby. I wish the band had other colors and could be sold in packs of two.
