Best apps to log feeding / sleep

Hey mamas, does anyone have recommendations on the best apps to use to log feed times and sleep times for the babies? I know I’ll probably be sleep deprived so won’t rely on my memory to work out when they last fed/slept etc.
Thanks!!xxx

I used Baby Tracker with my first- I probably won’t use it again this time around though. Whilst it can be really helpful, as you say to remember when things last happened, it also I think at times contributed to unnecessary worry. This time I’m going to just try to go with the flow, feeding responsively and following baby’s cues for sleep.

I totally agree with Chloe! I used baby tracker last time and I got so hung up on it and the anxiety about feedings & sleep times got a bit out of hand 🤦‍♀️

However, I also used Huckleberry for sleep later on and I actually preferred that to the baby tracker one

My friend uses Huckleberry for her baby and it logs sleep, feed, nappies etc - she loves it so I will be downloading to try for our baby 😊

My friend uses cubtale. She loves it - records baby naps, nappies, feeds breast and formula etc

I used huckleberry but I definitely won’t be using again for me they just caused me stress 😫

I never logged sleep times with my first just feed and any meds. Hubby and I created a group WhatsApp chat for the two of us and we logged in there times of feed and how much for whoever did the the night feeds and any meds to avoid waking the other one and over medicating. Did the job for us and will probs do the same

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Has anyone died their kids hair a fun color and have any recommendations for kid friendly hair dye that actually works and stays in the hair for a bit? 👀👀👀

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too
