Suggestions for baby tracking apps

christinanoelle · March 2014

I was wondering if anyone uses any specific apps to track feedings, diaper changes, etc.

I have been googling but there seem to be quite a few and some of them are quite pricey. I would like one app that could track all the important information.

I already downloaded the free Similac app but am wondering if anyone has any other suggestions.

Thank you!

One of my husband's coworkers gave him something called an "it's been". It keeps track of how long since the last feeding, the last diaper change, and I believe also the last nap. It also has a toggle at the bottom to keep track of which breast you last used, plus a night light.

I'm not one for buying stuff like that, but since it was given to us, who am I to complain? Just a thought!

If you have an iphone I really recommend iBabyLog. You can track a TON of things, create charts, set alarms, share data by email (great for emailing to a pedi if you're wondering if something is off), and sync with any other ios device for a live-update tracking of what baby is doing. It is the best baby app I've found, and its free.

A lot of my friends have recommended Baby Connect app.

Thanks! I'll definitely look in to that one. I do have an iphone so that could work.

Yes, that seems to be the one that comes up the most often in my search. It seems pretty comprehensive.

I just kept a notepad for a while and wrote down times of feedings/diapers. A few weeks in I realized it was overkill and stopped. This time I won't do it. I bf on demand, and changed diapers when they were dirty. You'll notice when something is 'off'.

I've heard good things about iBaby Log and Baby Connect. I downloaded he Similac one and looks like it will do what I want. The medela one is really similar and so I think it will try the Similac and medela ones in the beginning and see what I like best.

Eta: medela one is called iBreastfeed (but tracks bottles as well as diapers etc)
I just opened all the apps again an despite the out of date icon for iBabyLog I will probably use that as it is the most comprehensive, allows me to track things like medicine as well and I can share the info with DH if he downloads the app too.

BabyConnect. Totally worth the $4 or whatever it costs.

Popping over from the March Board - Total Baby for iPhones has been fantastic! Good luck, all!

BabyESP. We used this one with DS1. We loved it so much, that I had to wean DH from using it for tracking DS's sleep right before his 2nd birthday, lol.

I loved that I not only had a profile to track DS but I had my own profile to track my meds after delivery. I really liked being able to pull up the app while I was at work and see how DS was eating/sleeping for the day.

We will totally use BabyESP for DS2.

Eta-misspelled word.

I really loved Baby Connect with DD and plan on using it again this time. Well worth the $$ compared to some of the free ones.
