Joy Parenting Club

I got this app and subscription as part of my photography package that was offered at my delivering hospital. I rolled my eyes and figured I would never use it. Wrong!! Baby sleep is hard and it is so refreshing and helpful to have an expert at your fingertips to help. They have helped with each issue, not just a once and done. It has definitely helped my peace of mind and certainly helped me get more sleep!

They don’t tell you how much the photos cost, how many you’ll get, or any other info, till after they have taken them and tell you to pay. How much do you pay? $192 FOR 24 mediocre DIGITAL ONLY pictures most of which you can’t even see cause they only show you the 4-5 decent ones in the hospital and the website watermark covers those same photos. Plus you can only access your DIGITAL photos of your child if you have a $12 a month membership, there’s also no way to save them to your phone only to files, they all have the same file name too so they all try to overwrite and delete each other.

This app has replaced all the late-night googling of what I thought were stupid parenting questions. In addition to serving up direct answers to my concerns, it feels like it’s coming from a real community of non-judgey experts. The content mix is incredibly varied — no matter what I’m panicking about on any given day, they’ve already got it covered.
