Smart nursery night light with app control, 11 white noise sounds, audio monitoring capability, and sleep-tracking integration with Nanit camera.
Our Review
The Nanit Smart Baby Night Light isn't just another nursery lamp — it's an intelligent sleep companion designed to work within the Nanit ecosystem while also functioning beautifully as a standalone device. At $89, it's a meaningful upgrade over basic night lights.
The standout feature is the 11 built-in white noise, nature sound, and lullaby options, all controllable via the Nanit app. You can set volume levels, create sleep schedules, and even set the light to gradually dim over 30 minutes as your baby drifts off — mimicking a natural sunset.
The audio monitoring feature is a clever addition: when paired with a Nanit camera (sold separately), the light can stream audio from the nursery to your phone. This means the night light doubles as a budget-friendly audio monitor if you already have a video monitor but want audio in another room.
Integration with Nanit's sleep tracking is where the ecosystem pays off. The light can automatically activate white noise when the Nanit camera detects your baby stirring, potentially helping them resettle without fully waking. This kind of smart automation is something no standalone white noise machine can offer.
Without a Nanit camera, the light still works perfectly with app controls and scheduled routines. The warm LED is adjustable in brightness and color temperature, suitable from newborn through toddler years.
