I’ve been using the free version of the huckleberry app to track sleep & feeds for the past few weeks - trying to follow age appropriate wake windows (my baby is nearly 3 months old).
Is it worth paying for the upgrade so I can see the ‘sweet spot’ for naps etc? Please let me know if you think it’s worth it and if it helps!

YES!!! huckleberry would be my no. 1 recommendation for new mums. 3 months is a little early though I think. We started it fully by 4/5 months and had a good routine in place. I fully relied on it for my baby’s naps and the sweet spots were always bang on. Only just stopped using it and baby is 1 years old and that’s because his routine is identical every day so we don’t need it now x

thank you! why is 3 months too early, is that because they don’t understand routines yet? Should I start paying for it when she is closer to 4 months then do you think? :)

I’d pay monthly though, it worked a TREAT from 3-6 months and now it’s gone out the window. A set routine works way better for my LO

Didn't really help for us but my baby had never been one to work on a schedule for naps 🤣

It made a massive difference for us because I simply couldn’t keep the information in my head in terms of when he last woke up etc. Was a game changer for bedtimes too. Like Hannah said I’d wait until 4 months (I think that’s when they recommend it from) because before that it’s better to just follow your baby’s lead / they don’t really recommend using routines that early on x

I used it from birth, and used sweet spot indicator from 2 months and found it to be a great help in establishing a routine, making the most of wake window activities and understanding sleepy signs. Now, at 4 months, I feel confident to sometimes go by the sweet spot indicator, and sometimes make my own decisions based on baby’s behaviour and how good/bad the precious nap was and how much activity baby has done

It’s brilliant! My LO is 3 months and we’ve been using it for a few weeks now and just paid a one off amount for a year as it was on offer for half price! The sweet spots have always been spot on and it really helps us settle our LO before he becomes too cranky! Defo recommend it!

100% recommend huckleberry. The sweat spot is amazing I don’t know how it knows but it just does. I have twins and my LB is always ready for a nap just before his sister and it knows that and adjusts the wake windows. Honestly it’s the best definitely worth every penny.

I use Baby Daybook, it’s affordable for the full version (one time payment) and I love it so much more than other apps like huckleberry I used nannying

Just because I think at 3 months they’re napping all over the place and don’t really have much understanding of their surroundings yet. However that’s just my opinion with my baby. Others may have a different experience. Either way, it’s such a useful app especially if you’re a mumma who likes routine etc. as Jess said I just couldn’t function with when my baby had had a nappy etc so I needed to see it written down but I’m like that with everything in life!
