Meet Pro Parent Amanda Uhle

We are a happy family of 3, soon to be 4! We have one 2-year-old son, Porter, right now and have a little girl on the way.

What does your bedtime routine usually look like?

Depending upon whether it’s a bath night or not, we typically do bedtime over 45 minutes to an hour each night. We head upstairs, play a little, take a bath, brush teeth, head into the bedroom and play/read books, walk around the room and say goodnight to everything, and then hop into bed.

Why Nanit?

I love that it’s a WiFi monitor so I can look at from anywhere! Whether I’m home and just out of range of a typical non-WiFi monitor, or if I’m traveling and just want to check in on my little one when I’m missing them, I love that I have it access to monitor at anytime.

I also love the smart features—we really enjoy watching the morning pickup memories when they get pushed to us every month. Having the room temp and humidity levels is a really great feature as well.

What tips or advice would you share with first-time parents?

Sleep training is amazing, but don’t let it run your whole life! It’ll make you crazy. Do what works for you and for baby.
