Absolutely LOVE this app – Hatch Baby Review

As a first time mother, this app has become my go-to. I purchased the scale thinking it would be neat, but little did I realize the app would become such a huge part of my day. The hospital sends you home with a piece of paper to record nursing sessions and diapers; this makes so much more sense! I love the daily pictures and slideshow option, and how the nursing timer lets you know which side you last nursed on. As a sucker for data collecting, I truly love being able to look back at the bar graphs for recorded sleep and eating patterns. You begin to notice their natural schedule forming. The daily summary for totals is informative, but the timer since the last sleep/feeding have become what I live by! At the moment my son can’t be awake much longer than 1.5 hours at a time and I feed him every 3 hours... I can briefly glance at the summary to determine if it’s nap time or feeding time. The only things I wish could improve: • Sleep totals overnight should be split into the corresponding day. For example, if I record a sleep that began at 9:30 pm Tuesday and ended at 7:30 am Wednesday morning, those 10 hours count towards the total for just Tuesday...instead of splitting the sleep total into 2.5 hrs for Tuesday and 7.5 hours for Wednesday. • I want to print the daily schedule or at least view it on my laptop. I tried to export my data and it turns it into an excel spreadsheet with everything ever recorded. I’m usually only interested in comparing sleep from previous weeks. • slightly less important, but still an improvement... the pictures I upload are not all squares. I wish I could zoom out or fix them after uploading so they aren’t cut off during the slideshow.
