Great for what it does - wish it had a little more!
The features it has are great! Super easy to use, and very helpful in keeping track of everything, especially if youre having any issues that may require you to "report" to a doctor for intake and output!! My lo has weight gain issues that require me to be on my toes for feeding times and supplementations, and this has made life much easier!!
Wish it had the following features which Ive found I other (less easy to use for what this app does do!) apps:
- Ability to change what side it suggests for next feeding. I was recommended to use one side, offer the next and then for the next feeding start on the opposite of the first side from the last feeding. So if I start on the right, I use left too, but on the next feeding I start with left. I pretty much have to use the opposite of whatever it reminds me of unless I manually change it each time. This is also the recommended pattern according to many resources.
- Weight and measurement tracking! This would be huge for anyone dealing with weight gain issues.
- Medication tracking. Im using the note feature, but it would be awesome if it had a feature for medications and even reminders! Specifically thinking of vitamin D drops which are part of daily breast feeding routine and easy to miss!
- Pumping timer would also be huge! This would also be good info for analysis to know the best times for the best yield!
- Bottle feeding having option for HOW it was administered. I use a lactation aid most times, sometimes a bottle if necessary. Id love to be able to see at a glance when I used what method.
Ultra long story short - this app does what it does very well! Wish it did a little more though!
