Baby Tracker - Newborn Log 4+

This app is utterly fantastic. I’m a really anxious mama who also has raging ADHD so I’m quite forgetful! Thanks to this app, I ALWAYS know when the last time my son was fed and had his nappy changed without having to ummm and ahhh or just guess. I can keep track of absolutely everything: feeds, nappy changes, sleep, pumping, medication, vaccinations, weight & height, activities such as tummy time, Bath time, going for a walk etc. (you can add your own). It’s absolutely perfect. The cherry on top is the fact that my husband also has this app and can use his phone to pop down if he’s fed or changed the baby as well. He also gets notifications at work of what me and our son are up to because whenever I put down “nappy change” or “went to baby group” my husband gets the updates. He really enjoys getting the updates throughout his work day and I love the fact that he feels included in our day too! The app also makes graphs to show patterns in your baby’s feedings, nappy changes and sleep etc. I mainly use this feature to look at my sons sleep to see wake windows - SO HELPFUL!
We’ve used this app from birth and it makes me feel so much more organised, prepared and in control, amid the chaos that is motherhood! I absolutely can’t recommend enough and can’t think of any room for improvement. 10/10 from me 🥰

I have used this app since my oldest was born over 4 years ago, after it was recommended by a friend.
At first the appeal was my love of tangible data, and it was hugely beneficial in the newborn days to be able to give solid information to health professionals about feeding and nappies when they asked. It became even more useful the first time my child was seriously ill and required antibiotics as well as Calpol.
Turns out that I have ADHD. I have poor working memory and time blindness. This app has literally kept my babies safe as I can always check when they had medications or a nappy change. It’s helped us track my eldest’s bowel health, and the temperature data was sufficient to have my youngest admitted to hospital when he contracted RSV at 3 months old; we were able to accurately detail how long his symptoms had gone on and how high his fever had been. It saved his life.

I’ve contacted the developers a couple of times for support and they are always friendly and helpful. Most recently I contacted them with a suggestion for improving support for Apple Shortcuts integration to allow me to log medications via NFC tags, both the customer service team and developer teams were enthusiastic and are starting to look at how they can implement this which will make the app a hundred times more useful for me.

A great app for many reasons. In the early days of having my baby I found this so useful for keeping track of feeds and nappy changes. Sometimes it felt like I had only just fed or changed him but when checking the app I realised that was longer ago than I realised and he was due fees/change again - especially true at night when it feels like you’ve only just got back to sleep! As time goes on, it then helps you to look back at his tends so you can work out his routine and is handy for when the health visitor is asking how much they are feeding as you have it all right there.
Another good thing is the recording of medications, again so you can keep track of when another paracetamol dose may be due before they start to feel too rough or their temperature goes back up again.
One thing that I would like to see added for future updates is an easier way to record food when they start weaning. At present I have to enter it as 1ml milk and then write in the text box what he has eaten. Would be nice to have a few pre-saved boxes similar to how the medications come up but is easy enough to work around by the way I do it anyway.
