MammaBaby - Breast feeding App & Baby Log Tracker

I’ve tried numerous apps to track feedings and sleep times and this app is pretty self explanatory and simply accomplishes these tasks. There’s a free 7-day trial before they get you to purchase it, and although I love how useful it’s been to help me remember all of the times, I do agree with others that there’s room for improvement — especially when you’re paying $4.99! A separate note-taking section would be great as opposed to the tasks notes that they currently have (which don’t even allow you to review it as a whole, unless you go back to a specific day and time so it’s kind of pointless). Also, distinguishing between formula/breast milk for the bottle would be helpful too for those that have to supplement. And like others have mentioned, texture vs color for a poopy diaper should be separated when having to choose. Being able to easily see what the stool was like for each day instead of just indicating W+P diaper would be helpful too.

This app is very helpful for tracking information about baby’s food intake, diaper output, and sleep amounts. It is so easy to use. The only complaint that I have is regarding the summary section. It does not look like it was made for a smartphone, but rather for a desktop computer so the layout is horizontal and you have to zoom in to read the data. Here are some features that I would like to see in the app: -Add a way to have multiple users connected to the same profile so that multiple people could enter data on different devices for the same child. -Update the summary page to not only include suggested amounts for feedings and diapers that are age appropriate (right now it just has general suggestions), but also total amounts for the data entered in as the day progresses. -During late night feedings when mom is tired, it’s easy to forget to stop the feeding time tracker. It would be very helpful if a reminder could pop up at a set interval (the user can choose the frequency- 15, 30, 45, 60 mins) to ask if the user is still nursing. This will help the user to have a more accurate time, rather than ending up with a “300 minute feeding” which you have to go back and guess how long you were nursing for which defeats the purpose of tracking. Other than those suggestions, I would recommend this app, especially to first time parents. It’s helpful to have the data easily available to share with your child’s pediatrician or healthcare provider.

This is almost exactly the tool I need to help keep track of my newborn's sleep, diapers, and feedings. I use it religiously and shudder to think of the alternatives--pen & paper? Excel? My own memory?? That said, there is one key feature I wish it had, which is the ability to view data, specifically feedings and sleep, displayed visually over time in a way that makes it easy to discern whether a pattern or schedule is forming. There is a feature that shows quantity per day, which is helpful, but it doesn't show me when those quantities occurred each day relative to other days. In this crazy period where days blur together, being able to see a very clear data visualization that (hopefully) points to a trend would be a lifesaver!

Covers the basics and easy to document information. Strongly agree with review by Lanorod -- I want to be able to identify patterns across days. The total sleep or feeding for each day is only so useful. But to see if the baby is waking up overnight around the same time, for example, I would have to go into each specific day and pull out the data and try to reconstruct it outside the app. It seems like wasted effort to document data without being able to make better use of it. There should be a way to differentiate formula bottle feeding from breastmilk bottle feeding, apart from just a note in an entry. The soiled diaper options don't really cover the range of reality -- you should be able to document color separately from texture. Less important, there should be a separate section for general notes about the day. As of now I track numerical things in this app and then take notes on observations of diaper / feeding / sleep / behavior in Evernote. The issue is partly accessing the info -- again it's just too clunky to go into a specific day, to a specific diaper or feeding. But also that I don't have time or inclination to take detailed notes on each diaper or feeding, I'd rather summarize for the day and use that as a quick and easily accessible reference when I want to look back at baby history.

There is no way I could remember every diaper and feeding. Being able to go back and look at the data over the day really helps keep everything straight. So important when you are not sleeping the first few nights and are having issues breastfeeding. This app helped me remember baby boy is getting what he needs even with latching issues and a forceful let down. Knowing how many wet and dirty diapers doesn't seem very important until you are in the thick of it. Knowing times of changing and feeding has helped us find a routine and even get 7 plus hours of sleep last night and our son isn't even a week old yet. I also love the graphs and the daily summary features.
