When I first brought baby home I was worried about how much he was eating so when I found the Hatch scale I was totally excited! The scale works wonderfully batteries last forever and connection is never a problem. The one thing I wish this app had was a complimentary Apple Watch APP, this is the only reason why I’m still using another APP to track baby’s feedings sleep and pumping. Sometimes my phone is on the charger in the other room or we are out and about and it’s just inconvenient to pull out my phone for a feeding. It’s so much easier to just start a timer on my watch. Another thing I wish happened or was customizable somehow it what shortcuts are on the home screen. It’s cool that when I pump or weigh the baby those buttons show up, but I wish that Diapers would disappear since I have never made an entry there. Instead pumping disappears and I make entries in there all day. I wish diapers would at least move down on the list since I never press it. Another thing that is super frustrations is when you make a note, wish we had a little more space to write a little diary of the day, every time I try to add a note it tells me I can only use 255 characters and I spend the next 10 minutes trying to omit any words from my entry that might not be necessary Sometimes I just give up, there is no character count at the bottom, this would solve this problem of wasted time. Over all I love the APP and the scale I’m just waiting for that update that will add the Apple Watch APP. Please please please do it, it would be awesome to stop using that other app.
Lifesaver!

I could rave on and on about this app. As a first time mom, I felt like this covered all of my bases. It was basically my second brain. Especially in the beginning, there is so so much going on and so much to remember. Your body is running on fumes from the late nights with a newborn, and you can’t remember if you changed a diaper 2 hours ago or 5. lol It was so wonderful to look at my app and see how long it has been since a diaper change or feeding or sleep. It really helped me quickly hone in on exactly what my baby needed. It’s almost like a baby translator! lol Okay, I hope the developer’s see this, because if I could recommend any changes/requests it would number 1 be to have a “dark mode” on the app where all the background is black. My baby has been woke up several times by me inputting something in my app while I’m thinking of it. The dark mode would be AMAZING! Also, I would love to track baths. All I would want is to input a bath at 5:30pm and some notes (for example). If there were a food section to input when my baby tries a food for the first time, and also a medication/ temperature reading section for when my baby catches a bug. Having the dark mode and these other sections would make this app unbeatable! It’s still my top app rec to any mom, 1st time or not.
Good app- survey questions poor
Mactasticjfresh
The app itself is fine/good. I used it with 3 kids so far and with my first and second when I was nursing it was helpful in knowing how much they were eating (obviously the main point of the product/app). With my third baby, I was only nursing about once to twice a day before switching to completely exclusively pumping because he has a painful latch and wasn’t really improving. We still use the pad as a scale when we want to weigh him. But these survey questions in the app are so dumb to be honest because even though I am 100% a breastfeeding mom exclusively pumping, the questions will say like is your baby biting you (yes/no/im not breastfeeding). There should be a 4th option of none of these. There are so many questions that come up that the answers do not apply to my situation. Not just breastfeeding related questions. But it just is so annoying how It acts like there’s no other options besides nursing or “not breastfeeding” like as if people can’t combo feed with formula or partially nurse and partially bottle feed pumped milk. The question/answer writers for their surveys just need to be more inclusive in general bc if they’re actually trying to get an accurate response and idea of what people’s answers are, they need to provide more choices than their narrow minded options currently. Rant over 🙃
A few issues but overall useful app
peaharp
This app has been useful for logging my baby’s sleep, feeding and diapers but there are a few small issues that it would be great if the developer would consider fixing. If your baby begins sleeping before midnight, but ends sleeping after midnight (as you would hope!) the amount of time slept is only tallied for the day it began, the time is not divided between the days. If he starts at 11:55 pm and sleeps til 6:00 am, that’s 6 hours and five minutes entirely attributed to yesterday’s total. Therefore it sometimes looks like he got a ton of sleep (or not enough) when you look at the day’s total, rendering the daily totals useless for charting purposes. Similarly, for breastfeeding moms, the app logs time spent breastfeeding or ounces fed by bottle. If you do a combo of both the daily totals are not very useful to you because you may have breastfed 180 minutes (can’t assign how many ounces this is) but also fed 16 ounces by bottle too, and the daily total only adds up your bottle ounces and it reads like you’re starving your child. One minor annoyance is that the feeding form is automatically set to nursing- if I begin entering bottle info such as ounces, time, notes, but don’t first select “bottle” all of my entered items are erased when I finally switch the selection to “bottle,” and I have to start over. You just have to select this first to avoid the hassle. Otherwise this is a great app and I like the option to add a pic of my baby each day. This can help with letdown to be able to scroll through his pics right in the app. Also if I forget to start a timer and start it late, I like that I can edit the start time while it’s going. Very useful.
