Huckleberry app is it worth the money?

I am on SMP and I don't want to buy anything that's not going to work. my little one does not like her cot, only likes to be held, does not have a schedule, and on top of this, I don't know if I'm feeding her the right amount.

I’m in the exact situation as you (minus the feeding part) and I have the huckleberry app, I heard good things however, I’m yet to pay for premium as sometimes I forget to log in her naps so it’s not 100% accurate. But I have heard it’s good? If I’m honest I became slightly obsessed with it at one point and then felt like I would be stressed out if she wasn’t following a schedule etc or that I wasn’t doing something right

It won't really help with feeding amounts etc but I would really recommend it for their sweet spot recommendations - it's been a game changer for us !

The app won't magically help your baby stop contact napping by creating a routine. If that is what you want to achieve, you shouldn't get it. It did help us to get in a more routine and i also like the sweet spot alert.

Honestly I only used it for 3 days, I didn’t pay for the premium though. If you’re going to be consistent and remember to use it then I’ve heard it’s really good, I’m just useless at that kind of thing

It’s so worth it for showing the sweet spot for nap times and bed times. Not sure it would help with feeding other than keeping track and seeing patterns across the days/weeks. We used the month free trial and then upgraded to the year subscription because it’s made nap times so easy. It’s bang on to the minute for our LO. Also sometimes she’ll cry and we’ll have a quick look at the app and realise it’s been about time for a feed so that’s helpful x

I use it everyday and it helped me a lot! My boy is 7 months old and I'm FTM so had no idea what i was getting myself into! This helped me and guided me through some sort of routine( even though baby boy always like to change around) and with premium they study your entries and they give you a plan specific for your child and their stages. I love it and I couldn't be without now! This week I am just shifting from 3 to 2 naps day thanks to their sweet spot times! Game changer!

I think it depends what kind of person you are and if you like to note down everything and follow a schedule. I tried it when my boy was first born for a couple weeks but I just kept forgetting to log his naps, his bottles his nappies… everything basically 😂. It’s just not me. I just follow his lead. I know when he’s tired and needs a nap, he’ll let me know when he’s hungry or when he’s had enough. You can just Google the average of how much they should be having, when there’s leaps/growth spurts expecting, wake windows etc.
And in the end I didn’t need it. He got himself into a brilliant routine which we now stick to, and is a brilliant sleeper (bar the 4 month regression 😂)

I was using the huckleberry app and just thought the premium price was a little too much for my SMP pay, I now use an app called ‘Napper’ and it does the job and premium was cheaper than huckleberry

I log EVERYTHING on Huckleberry. I also got their premium for their sleep analysis and sleep plan because my baby is a terrible sleeper at night. He also was horrible with naps.
Huckleberry's Sweet Spot is SPOT ON for naps.
The premium sleep plan has soooooo much information. You're bound to find something useful in their recommendations and guidance.
My baby is slowly becoming better at sleeping. Not quite where I would like yet, but I think we'll get there. And Huckleberry has helped.

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide

Weaning

Hello mamas,could I get some advice please with how and what to wean as started this week with my baby but not really what to give and when what time day. Have started with puree vegetables and making them myself and offering it in the evening to my baby but she tends to get irritated and tired and has a few spoonfulls and then gives up and has a meltdown. So I’m questioning myself am I feeding her wrong time of day and what’s best to mix the food with milk or baby rice please.

Post partum dad

I have a 2 month old. A few weeks ago my husband crashed out because he didn't feel like he was getting to bond with her. I started exclusively breastfeeding around that time and honestly didnt see the big deal. Baby and I left for a few days and when we got back home, everything was fine. He was extremely hands-on. He helped with my meals, her bedtime, bath, stories.....for a few weeks it was great. Then he randomly sounds depressed af. He says our lo is better off without him, he wants to sleep all day , he asks me not to watch tv then tried playing a video game. He refused to reply to me when i asked any follow-up questions. Then he woke up our baby trying to race me to the bathroom first thing in the morning . He's doing a weird mix of crying, trying, and giving up. Im starting to feel like I cant handle him not being able to handle life with baby and just want to be alone. Are there resources for men?

Do I need to pay anything when my child starts school in September

I'm a new mum and obviously didn't grow up in the uk. I currently pay roughly £640 for nursery fees. I'm wondering if my expenses will reduce when my LO starts school or there'll be other expenses (besides bags, uniform etc) will my expenses be anywhere close to £600 monthly?

Separation Anxiety

Any of your children have separation anxiety. My son will be two soon and he still does not let us leave the room for even a few minutes without him following us. Is this the norm for anyone else??
