Baby Breastfeeding Tracker

There are a couple of things I’m not sure about with this app. It may be because I’m not using it properly. Or, I am using it properly and these points are things that are being worked on. I wish there was an alarm clock and not just a notification sent for when baby needs to be fed again! The notification doesn’t wake me up in the middle of the night. I still end up using my alarm clock or timer to time 3 hour stretches. Also, it would be nice to see a trend from day to day. Like a comparison chart from one day to the next to see if my baby is feeding on a pattern yet (she 2 weeks old). Other analytics like, baby is eating every x hours. Oh and, when the baby cluster feeds, there’s no way of knowing when to feed again, when she is done cluster feeding. In the dirty diaper section, maybe include the recommended amount of BM diapers and Wet diapers depending on age. Please forgive me if this review makes no sense, I am a bit sleep deprived because of my brand new baby princess!

I don’t normally write reviews, (nor do I normally pay for apps I’m a bit of a cheapskate) BUT I had newborn twins and needed some way to track feedings and pumping because otherwise I’d lose my mind. I pulled the trigger and bought this app and IT IS SOOOO WORTH EVERY PENNY!! With twins it’s just too hard to keep track of everything... when did N eat last? How long has F been sleeping?? It was the only tracker I could find that you could input data for two babies. This app is worth its weight in gold if you have twins. It’s easy to use, I love how you can set reminders for everything. Again... newborn twins... a lot to keep up with and remember. I also like how you can see daily totals and averages of the feedings, sleep, diaper changes, pumping. So I can see how much the babies are eating and if they’re eating enough and how many wet and dirty diapers they have. It’s a lot to have to input into the app but if you can stay disciplined to input the data it can really help you to have an overall picture of what’s going on with your babies. It’s tough to keep up with two newborns especially when your attention is divided or if you have other kids but this app makes me feel like I know what’s going on with the babies and that they are getting enough to eat and sleep. Best of all... it just works!! No crashing or bugs that I have found. It’s the best investment in an app I’ve ever made.

My wife and I have been using this app for about 7 weeks now to track our newborn's diapers, breastfeeding, weight and more. The number of different baby stats you can track in one location is super convenient and the main menu screen is very easy to use. Our experience has been mostly positive but with a handful of annoyances: • No timer in the lock screen for pumping or breastfeeding. • When adjusting times in a feed, tapping out of the timer dial erases your changes • Weird menu choices that say "formula" or "breast milk" three or four times. • The "stickiness" of time selections for feedings often defaults to odd times (based on previous options) and causes the "overlapping feedings" error to pop up too often. • The "Doctors Visit" section should be reworked, it's too complicated. I should be able to add info quickly while talking to the pediatrician. • The sleep tracking function should be simplified like the nursing screen so I can just hit a "sleep" button and then get a reminder when I go to do something else like a diaper change. • Sync across multiple devices needs work - sometime things don't show up until manually synced, sometime not until the following day. Despite these minor flaws we liked the app enough to by multiple premium versions for our different devices.

I was using another app that I thought was great but you had to pay in order to get the charts/graphs which I refuse to do. This app does everything my previous app did PLUS shows me the charts for FREE. I also like the way it counts feedings whereas my other app considered it a feeding every time I changed breasts which made the number of feeding inaccurate (22 feedings a day when baby was taking both breasts so it should have only been 11). The only thing I would change is: when you give baby a bottle it should be taken into consideration when you have the notifications set up. For example: when you give the baby a bottle the app shouldn’t be sending me a notification to nurse the baby until x hours after I gave the bottle. Other than that, the app is perfect for what I need!

First off, let me say that I have never left a review for any app. This app has been a life saver! Like most new parents, we are sleep deprived and cannot remember our last feeding, diaper change, or pumping session. I am an exclusive pumper and this app has helped me see how much milk I gain or lack on a given day. I love that it includes the times of feedings, because let’s be honest, I cannot remember exactly what time this child ate last. All I have to do is pull up the app and check. I have not used the timers since the baby has her own set internal one. I also love that I can track her weight and diaper changes throughout the week. It has been a big help in the doctors office when they ask about her intake and output. There is even a section to document medications. If you haven’t tried the app, you should!
