Baby Connect: Newborn Tracker 4+

I started using this app 10 years ago when I had my son. I also used it when my daughter was a baby. Now I’m pregnant with my 3rd and looking forward to using it again. I still use it for my older two to this day to track meals, medical stuff, and behaviors. This app is without a doubt the best one on the market for keeping track of literally everything for your kids. The updates over the years only get better and better. If I could make one suggestion however (I REALLY hope the app developers read this) it would be amazing to be able to upload videos as well as pictures. The reason goes beyond just for the diary purposes. My daughter has ASD and I use this app to keep track of her meltdowns in the “incident report” section. Often times when she has a severe meltdown I will take a video for her doctor (and my records) and it would be amazing to be able to upload the video to the incident reports instead of just describing what happened.
Besides that, this app is almost perfect!!!

I've been using this to keep up with my kids since I had the first one in 2014. I thought it would be just for the early days with diapers and nursing and pumping but I've used it to track their weight, height, vaccines, illnesses (temps, medications given so their dad and I don't accidentally overdose, vomits, etc), dr visits, etc throughout grade school ages too (and plan to continue when my oldest starts middle school). I recommend it to all my new parent friends. It makes it easy to have all the vax stuff in one place when it's time to fill out forms for school and camp, too. And it makes it easier to report to Dr when they ask things like "when did symptoms start." It probably helps that I'm a nurse of 11 years so I'm used to chatting on my patients, this just feels like an extension of work. But then I don't have to trust my overfilled brain to remember stuff like when the last dose of something was. Highly recommend.

Mostly using this to track breastfeeding since we brought our little one home 7 weeks ago. It shows you how long it’s been since you've nursed and which side was your last. Recently, I was finding it frustrating that the screen would auto lock after the max 5 min window Apple gives you but I discovered that in the settings you can turn off auto lock if you have a timer going! Amazing! It’s a small thing but huge for when you have a baby in your arms and you only have one hand or maybe you don’t want to disturb the baby’s latch to keep your phone awake. Makes timing the nursing sessions so much easier and accurate. The graphs and timeline that autogenerate are interesting and helpful in gaining insight into your little one’s behaviors. I don’t usually write reviews but this app blows me away with how thorough and well thought out it is. 5 out of 5 stars!
