Itzbeen

This little gadget has been a life saver since DD arrived, however some people think I/we are huge weirdos for using it. So I am wondering how many other mommas are using one...

    Ended up using the Total Baby app on the iPhone instead for tracking, so mine hasn't been used much.

    We use the total baby app. I feed on demand too but it helps me determine if that cry is a hunger cry or if I should try other methods to stop the crying. Like if he just ate 45 minutes ago he probably isn't crying because he is hungry. And I can't remember when he ate last so it is essentially my baby brain.

    Had to google what it was so clearly we don't have one. We use the Total Baby app on my phone and have been happy with it. I'd really hate to have to carry around another gadget so the Itzbeen would probably annoy me. And it doesn't look (from my very quick review) like it would work with multiple babies.

    Um, are we supposed to be timing things? Whoops.

    This is me. I try to keep a general time frame but every time he's hungry I think "Again?". Luckily he put himself on a schedule so I don't have to.

    I like the itzbeen over an app only because DH can use it without needing my phone. I don't use it so much as a strict schedule, but more for a problem solver like @Taymiller‌.

    That is the one thing I hate about the app, I have to either enter it in or throw DH my phone to have him enter it.

    @Taymiller‌ For the total baby app you can have one account on multiple devices. I don't use it anymore, but when I did my husband had it on his phone too so he could enter things. We also used it on our iPad.

    The DH doesn't have "charting privileges" because I have control issues. I get a "verbal report" and input everything. The nurse in me loves tracking everything but it makes the mother in me anxious (I have a tendency to create pathologies where none exist).

    I love the similac app. I stopped timing everything though because he started STTN and I didn't need it as much.
