Hatch Baby 12+

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.

Lost EVERYTHING when switching devices

*** Update: they had me log out and back in and the only day of stuff missing was the day I switched phones. Excuse my previous hormonal rage, this app is great👌🏼***

I thought all of the information would be saved on the account, not on the device I was using! I really liked this for tracking, but I updated my phone and I lost all of the data I had been tracking for my son’s 2 mo appt at the end of November😭😭 plus, I lost all of the daily photos I had been using😭😭😭 if I could get them back, I’d do whatever needed to be done, but I honestly don’t know what to do. I’ve tried refreshing everything. It was a great app and super easy to track with, but I can’t believe it wouldn’t actually save my data well. Oh, and all his birth weight and height tracking stats!! Those are gone too and I had already gotten rid of my paperwork for those because I thought this digital platform was solid😭

Good app- survey questions poor

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 🙃
