What exactly am I paying for?? – Moms On Call Scheduler Review

This app is really pretty useless. ALL it is is a schedule that updates every few weeks/months as your baby gets older. You can “customize” your schedule, but literally all that means is that you can build your own schedule. You have to figure out all the times yourself with no guidelines. I can do that more easily in Notes! I also found more than a few typos which was really off-putting. It’s like no one put much time or thought into this app, and just decided to charge $4 for it. So ridiculous! As for the Moms On Call program itself—I have friends who swear by it (which is why I bought the book and the app) but it didn’t work for me at all. It was so rigid, and I found it impossible to stick to, especially while breastfeeding. (Everyone I knew who had used it bottle-fed, which can be easier to schedule.) They also advise letting babies cry it out when they’re 3-4 months old. That’s SO little!!! I’ve found my daughter crying because she was unable to move herself away from a pile of spit up, and I would've felt terrible if I had just left her there face down in it all night! I know this program works for some people, but I’m so not a fan. Babies are unique humans, and the rigidity of this program doesn’t allow for that and can cause a lot of anxiety in parents and babies alike. Also the app is dumb ?
