Itzbeen timer/reminder

spartybride3

Does anyone have or use this? It seems like it might be helpful, but I can also see myself using it for a week and then never again. If not, do you have any app suggestions? My SIL said she wrote everything down like this with my niece to determine patterns but with a newborn I feel like I'll already have 10,000 to keep track of and writing down everything the baby does seems like a PITA.

Thanks!

Do you have a smart phone? There are tons of apps that do the same thing for free or a few dollars. Bonus you are less likely to lose your phone!

Yes I have an iPhone. My SIL told me about one app but I can't remember the name. I'm buying some stuff on Craigslist from someone & she has the itzbeen timer for $5. Otherwise I prolly wouldn't be interested in it!

For $5 id say why not. If you don't like it you can make a small profit on eBay

We used ours all the time for about the first 4 months. I liked it.

I used the itzbeen timer for the first couple weeks, it was a life saver! That's when you have to wake baby to eat and there really isn't a pattern to track. Once he got the ok from our pedi to let him eat when he decides he's hungry, he spent more time awake, so we got the Sprout iPhone app. DS is 5.5 months old and we still use it. It's a huge help because I can quickly determine why he's fussing just by looking at the app to see how long it's been since he ate/ slept/ got changed.

Oh, and the sprout app has a feature that shows you the patterns. Also tracks growth, appointments, milestones, immunizations, and gives you daily and monthly tips/ info.

Get the Total Baby app.  I think it's about $5?  Totally worth it.  It does all that the itzbeen does and more.  I used it with my last baby and will be using it again this time.

I used the baby connect app for probably a year, and still use it to track things like shots at the Doctor's office.  It's GREAT and I will use it again with #2!  I find it handy to be able to go back and see how much she weighed at a point in time, or even how long she was sleeping at what age.  It's amazing how I forget already!

I received one as a gift and didn't use it. I only used an app on my phone- there are a million apps out there and they are great and really easy to use for EVERYTHING baby related.

Total Baby App is awesome!

Thanks everyone...I'm buying the timer for now because it's only $5. I figure if I don't like it, I can just sell it. I will check out those apps!
