Baby Connect: Baby Tracker

I wanted an app that would help me track all the new baby things during the blur of the early weeks, and Baby Connect was it! Took a little getting used to, but by the end of the trial I was convinced it was the tool we needed. It's been very worth the annual fee. It has a lot of tools, I just use what I need. Super helpful when we go to the doctor and they ask how many diapers per day, how often we're breastfeeding, how much from the bottle, etc. I don't have to try and remember all that, I just look up the summary tab and tell them. I'm always looking at it to remind me when my baby last did whatever--got a diaper change, ate from a bottle, nursed, slept. Especially since he had lots of trouble breastfeeding for the first couple months, Baby Connect was ideal to reassure me my milk was coming in, I was producing more, and he was doing alright. And it helped when my milk seemed a little slow, I could see it was because I didn't pump as much that day or nurse as long, or whatever. I entered when I gave him Vitamin D drops, his weigh-ins, vaccines, and it was really nice to see his progress and kept track of everything. It's just a really helpful tool, I recommend it.

I could not live without it. I 1st bought this to keep track of nursing. Had an itzbeen that was on the fritz. Figured...there's gotta be something on my iPhone that can do what my itzbeen does. Never did I realize how much this would simplify my life. Especially considering its use by all caregivers for my children. My favorite moment was when I went on my 1st date night after the baby with my husband. We were eating dinner and I still felt connected. I am able to keep up with the baby...and toddler to make sure they are on schedule for feelings an naps. I track all their doctors visits. I even back tracked to my 1st sons stats & milestones. I hope the database never crashes or is backed up somewhere because I rely on this app for EVERYTHING. And I require my husband, nanny, babysitter, grandmother...EVERYONE to use it. I recently got my sister on it too and her youngest of 3kids is 2.5. She uses it to track medicine, temps, doctors, etc. I have seen a few others in app store, but I am so glad I chose this one.

I started using this app 10 years ago when I had my son. I also used it when my daughter was a baby. Now I’m pregnant with my 3rd and looking forward to using it again. I still use it for my older two to this day to track meals, medical stuff, and behaviors. This app is without a doubt the best one on the market for keeping track of literally everything for your kids. The updates over the years only get better and better. If I could make one suggestion however (I REALLY hope the app developers read this) it would be amazing to be able to upload videos as well as pictures. The reason goes beyond just for the diary purposes. My daughter has ASD and I use this app to keep track of her meltdowns in the “incident report” section. Often times when she has a severe meltdown I will take a video for her doctor (and my records) and it would be amazing to be able to upload the video to the incident reports instead of just describing what happened. Besides that, this app is almost perfect!!!
