Huckleberry: Baby & Child 4+

Saved my sanity

This app is UNREAL!! Worth every penny to pay premium. I tried it with no real expectations as other apps I have tried have been so so. Huckleberry has literally saved my sanity.. providing you track every single nap/sleep your baby has, huckleberry will tell you the “sweet spot” of when you should put your baby down for the next nap. It has been spot on every single time. And because of this my baby is now getting sufficient sleep he needs and is generally all round happier baby. I would recommend this app over and over to anyone. It’s especially good for first time mums who may still be learning the sleepy cue like myself as they can easily be confused for hunger cues. It allows you to get your baby down for sleep before they become over tired and wired. You can also track poos/wee’s, acitivitys such as tummy time and play, bathing, pumping, feeds etc etc. it’s just incredible. I was able to show my Gp everything when I recently had to take Bub to the doctor. Baby brain makes you forget alot so this app keeps record of everything in the one place. 10/10 for me! Thank you huckleberry for helping me in my new parent journey! 👌🏼

Game changer if you can afford $$$

I began using this app after it had been recommended to me by another habitual user, at the time I was really struggling as a first time mum and really not knowing what I was doing regarding sleep for my daughter and not really understanding her awake windows, sleep cues
and sleep requirements for her age.
When downloaded the app I was amazing by how functional, easy and accurate it was.
4 days into using the app I was already picking up on my daughters cues better with the help of the sweet spot function that predicted the times she might be most ready for her nap.
4 months later I have a 9 month old sleeping 12 hours over night, and two great day naps and I feel like I definitely owe a great deal of credit to this app.
It has been so helpful for my family and partner when minding my daughter also, I felt like I could say just check in with huckleberry and watch for her tired signs and your good to go.

The only real negative I feel is the price point...
for someone who only really wants the basic features such as logging data like medications, sleep and feeds with the handy sweet spot tool a ‘basics’ membership or one off payment would be much more reasonable, even with your discounts it is extremely pricey and as someone affected by financial hardship during covid I unfortunately can not justify the cost of this app.
All in all it’s very good but very expensive

Developer Response ,

Hi ryegirl6, thank you for your review and story, and we also appreciate you rating it based on the benefit you received from the app, and not immediately going to 1 star as you recognize hiring developers, designers, support staff, cloud servers, etc., are costs that have to be paid from somewhere. With that said, we do have a financial hardship program and it sounds like you would qualify. Did you see the email or message about the Plus membership announcement? It had a link to it. We want to be able to help whoever needs it, while also staying in business as a company. You can reach us at support@huckleberry-labs.com.

So glad we found this app!

I never review apps or products, but I felt like I had to say something about this! For those of you looking for something to help with questions like, “why is my baby only sleeping 25 min cycles?” Or “when is a good bed time to help them sleep longer overnight?” This app is for you! I spent a lot of time googling answers to my questions about over and under-tiredness and while this app doesn’t have text you can physically read per say, it gives you appropriate wake times for the age of your baby and calculates a “sweet spot” to help you get them into bed independently, HAPPY, calm and the all hailed “drowsy but awake”. For us, perfect wake times a key for good day and night sleeps. Yes, we still hit “regressions” -it’s not a miracle cure- but overall this app is a lifesaver that gives you some predictability back in your day. My husband and I both have the app and can update it and the support team is quick and helpful! Plus... it’s free! Worth a shot right?!
