Pitcher Method

UPDATE** The owner of this app is an absolutely incredibly sweet human and responded back to me very quickly with a fix she made for the stats page for this problem as well as a detailed description of how to use the app from there! I cannot recommend this app enough!I really want to love this app as I love the concept… but it’s not working for me with using the pitcher method. Maybe I am just doing it wrong but it’s confusing. For example, I add my first pump of the day for day 1. Any time I pump after that for the next 2-3 days I add milk to this same log so it’s all on one log. So say I now have 40oz in this one log, I use partial amounts of this for a few bottles throughout the day so I give her a bottle and mark used partial amount - 4oz. And then I want to move any remaining amount to the freezer section at the end of 3 days. Well, it seems to throw off my total numbers in the stats section when I do any of this. When I mark partial amounts as used it’s as if I never even pumped those amounts. So I initially had 40oz, so my total was let’s say 540oz on my stats screen, when I mark I used a partial amount of 4oz from the 40oz it removes that 4oz from my “Total” on the stats menu. I really love to see the total amount I have pumped so it’s sad that it acts like I never even made that.

I am not typically one to write reviews, but I want to let anyone who is considering downloading — DO IT!! This app has changed the game. I am a very type B person, but when it comes to breast milk I have been tracking everything. I’ve been using DairyBar for 7 months now and it has made my pumping / breastfeeding journey so much smoother. I love being able to track milk from the deep freeze to the freezer to the fridge to baby and stay completely organized. The app has occasional bugs or crashes, but Jennifer is so quick to respond when you email for support and resolves the issues almost immediately. (Writing this at 11:45pm on a Saturday after an email thread with her helping me). At the end of the day, the money is worth it. I am extremely satisfied and would absolutely recommend DairyBar to anyone that is nursing / pumping.

Update: the maker of this app is super helpful and on top of things! Not only did she inform me that you can change the “best by” date to “use by” but she also went in and did a bug fix when my app wasn’t showing the correct amount of total ounces/bags. GREAT app and GREAT creator! LOVE this app. Let me start by saying I LOVE the app. Not only does it help me keep track of my stash, but it is extremely satisfying to look at the stats and know how much I have and how much I have created overall! The ONE thing I would change is adding the option to choose from different expiration times. It’s stuck on freezer=3 months and deep freezer=6 months when really they would be good for much longer. Like 3-6months and 6-12 months! Other than that, I love it! So 4 stars :)

***UPDATED REVIEW***My original review below talked about a recent update taking away one of my favorite features, but they since did another update where this feature is returned! I love that they bought it back, honestly I had downloaded other apps hoping to love it but this app is just superior lol. SOOOO glad I’m able to 100% enjoy it again***OLD REVIEW***This app used to be a 5 star for me, but they recently updated to show a graph of the stash locations & took away the stats of each individual location. For instance, if i wanted to see the total amount stored in the fridge vs how much was used, I would have to manually calculate because this option was removed

Hi there! Thanks so much for the feedback. If you check the App Store today, you’ll notice that the latest version goes back to the previous display. I’m always open to hearing feedback from users and it sounded like most mamas preferred the other way. You can always reach out to me at support@dairybarapp.com with any questions/comments/concerns!-Jennifer
