Best way to track feedings etc?

Anyone know of a good app to use for tracking basic info about the babies days?

I would prefer one that I can share with my husband so we can both easily update it when needed.

    Babyconnect is brilliant- multiple users can update the same account, and you can add multiple babies. It tracks everything from feedings/ diaper changes to weight gain charts. It's not free but it's 100% worth it
    Agreed! BabyConnect is awesome!

    Eatsleep looks pretty nice too, but doesn't seem to allow multiple people to enter updates?

    We tried eat sleep but wound up just using a dry erase board. Being sleep deprived it was just way easier to do.

    We use Total Baby and I really am the one that updates. If DH is feeding alone he texts me the info.

    I'm old school--I prefer pen and paper! I was looking back at our old log the other day...the crazy things I would write down, the half-finished sentences written at 3 am...good times!

    Yeah that's my fear, I assume with all the non sleeping I will be doing that I need something handy to help me :)

    DH found a gadget online that keeps track of all this stuff - ItzBeen.  Amazon has a two-pack for $50 (one for each baby!) that I registered for.  We'll give it a try.  I'm not sure if we're diligent enough to keep track...may just end up going the dry erase board route!

    Someone with twins told me that they ended up using a printed out spreadsheet.  It was easy, accessible, and people who came over to help out had access to it and could contribute to it as well (like if they changed a diaper or fed them or what time they went to sleep).  But that is all the advice I can offer.

    Similar to what PP said, Besides our log, we also had a whiteboard hanging in the kitchen so whoever was helping could write down any important info and theoretically, this could be transferred to the notebook at the end of the day.
