Baby Apps?

Lauren659 · February 2014

I apologize in advance if this has been covered. I did a search and I only found a lot of chatter about the mobile bump app not working.

But, any s+tm or really on the ball ftms have a baby tracking app they recommend? I'd love one that DH and I can both use and sync for feedings, naps and diapers.

Again, if this has been asked, let's just turn this into a GIF party. Or, we can have a GIF party either way. Whatevs.

I posted about this a while ago...will try to find link, but I think "total baby" was a popular one.

Awesome, thanks. I'll look into that one. Google comes up with several, but I hate to buy something without getting some real feedback first.

I have baby centre (the pregnancy one is orange, the baby one is green) and Baby's Home.
Oh, and what to expect- baby.

I tracked feeding, etc, for a few days, but then kept forgetting so I don't anymore. I should!?

I honestly have no clue about this stuff. I was told I should track feeding with breast feeding to determine patterns and supply and demand. I doubt it matters as much if you are formula feeding.

I bought a white dry erase board. Not a fancy app but it's on the fridge now being used to write how many weeks I am since dh always forgets.

I thought it might be helpful just incase... I remember when babysitting my neice having to text my mom asking what time she ate last, had Tylenol etc.

One time i had her she was soo miserable she got meds constantly I could never remember what time it was at. (She ended up having the flu and double ear infection ;( )

I have a friend who keeps a paper journal in the diaper bag to track everything, and that works for them as well. I think a dry erase is smart too though. I never thought about using it to track meds!

I've been wondering about apps as well, but I think DH and I are going to have to go the paper route. It seems like a baby app for twins would be hard to come by

I have been reading up on this total baby app, and it seems to have a twin option and lots of positive twin reviews.

I used Total Baby with DD and still have it installed and will add this baby as a second child. I used it a lot in the beginning and then again when I was getting ready to go back to work and wanted to look for patterns in our schedule to help prepare for our nanny. As a huge bonus and I can now look back on those first weeks to help me remember what to expect (I feel way more clueless than I did with DD because as FTM I did a lot reading...and now I don't remember when things actually happened).

We are doing the paper route as of now. I may look into total baby!

Lurking from Jan '14. We used baby sprout and really like it. You can sync from iPad and iPhone but unfortunately there's not Android app yet. It has lots of features - tracking feeding, diaper changes, wake/sleep cycles, pumping, activity. Also has growth tracking and medication tracking, immunizations and md visit planners. Check it out - we really like it!
