Getting out of the post natal clinic after giving birth, I expected a whirlwind of mess coming my way as my unskilled-diaper-changing-hands were slow and clumsy. On top of my untrained movements, I had to remember and track my baby's activities, which was not an easy task with the case of "baby brains." Then I came across a life-changing app that made tracking baby simple and easy.

When your baby is in her first few months of life, its crucial to track the feeding time as well as bowel movements. Especially since newborns feed 10~12 times a day and I was given caution to never skip a feeding on their first month as lack of breastmilk may cause "breastfeeding failure jaundice", which causes your newborn to turn yellow... 馃槰

With the help of technology 馃, my newborn's breastfeeding was kept in track as well as analyzed to show how much each breast feeding was done. Pictures of the app on my phone below, to show you the actual UIs and how I use my tracking.

  • Log all your baby's activities and let the app track your baby's daily schedule
    • Currently, I'm only tracking my baby's feeding times, but planning to track her nap and sleep to check whether she is getting enough sleep throughout the day.
    • The colorful buttons are the available things you are able to track :
      • Breastfeeding, Pumped milk feeding, Pumping, Diaper change, Formula, Bath, Sleep/nap, Baby Food, Hospital, Temperature, Medicine, Snack, Play, Etc
        enter image description here
  • In detail, when logging each session for breastfeeding, you are able to select left, right or both and the duration as per the below image.
    • The UIs are most likely created by people who understand having a child, and are made super easy to use. 馃挴馃挴馃挴

  • Various stats and charts available for you to see your trends as well. Coming from a background of creating excel spreadsheets and powerpoint tables from dusk till dawn, these sort of analysis makes my corporate self jump out in joy.
    • I muted other factors and am only showing breastfeeding specifically for this blog.

Technology has advanced so much that you can benefit in so many ways that our parents didn't have the privilege of.
馃檹馃檹 Thank you Babytime for making motherhood convenient 馃檹馃檹

This app has helped the start of my motherhood and hope it helps others too! Please note the above cases are a my own tracking data and have not been consulted with a physician or a doctor. Also this is not a sponsored blog, and has been written purely from my own experience.

What other apps have you used to help you raising a child?
