Apps

Hi ladies,
Did/do any of you use apps for tracking feedings, diaper changes, sleeping, etc for your multiples when they were born?

If you didn't use an app, did you use a handwritten chart? Did you just wing it?

We are hoping to have some help when the babies are born and it would be nice if we had a central place to put all of the information.

Thanks for any help!

I use the app Firstyear & love it. I can track 2 babies in one app - they each have their own page. I just track diapers & feeding (how long & what side). I've been using it for 3 weeks now with 3.5 week old twins. I just have DH tell me when he does diaper changes and record it in the app. We haven't checked to see if it syncs or works across multiple devices - too busy/sleep deprived.

I had an app, but honestly I would forget to track feedings more often than I would remember so after a few weeks I didn't really use one anymore. I would just always start a baby on the same side (like always start on the left at every feeding) so I would remember. And I would just try to make sure they were eating for long enough the first few weeks. And we only tracked babies' diaper changes in the hospital. I think there are a ton of apps though that are free that work! I'm not sure exactly which one I had now. (That was a yr ago!)
Sorry, that wasn't too helpful

Baby Connect tracks all of those and more and can be synced across multiple devices

I used sprout to track feedings before I went back to work. I still use it to record height, weight, and vaccines at the dr as well as milestones. I'm hoping someday those will go in a baby book but no time for now! You do have to get the paid version to enter more than one baby though.

Thank you so much, ladies. I'm going to load a few of these and see which one I find to be the most useable. I appreciate the input!

We just used a pen and paper chart of time/amount/wet or and dirty for each baby, worked well for us

I also used Sprout. Mainly for feeding and pumping, but diaper changes at the beginning and occasionally milestones.

We have used Baby Connect since 2 wks and still use it daily at 16 mos (I'm a little anal...)

Me too, and so is DH, so this is a must!  Thank you!
