An app to track feedings, diapers, etc?

We're home from the hospital today with our miracle b/g twins, and adapting to life as a family of five (with our 4yo son). I'm obsessive about tracking diapers and feedings, and have a little chart they gave us at the hospital, but I refuse to believe there isn't an app out there to do this either online or using an Android device. I see that Similac has an iphone app, but I have a droid.

I'm basically looking for something that will allow me to:

1. Choose one of the twins
2. Enter in either a diaper change, feeding, or other event
3. Enter in the number of ounces, how long on the breast, whether the change was pee or poop, etc

It would be nice to be able to create reports and chart trends as well...which should be easily done. Does this exist? Because if not, I'm going to make some calls to programmer friends soon!

 

The Android has one called the Baby Care Application and it's completely free to download http://getandroidstuff.com/baby-care-android-application-downlod-v106/

Congrats on your new little ones

Hi,

Congratulations for your twins. I know it's not what you were looking for, but I just wanted to show you these Itzbeen

We have a pink one for Vanessa and a blue one for Max and they are really helpful. In the beginning I did the chart thing with details for maybe 2-3 weeks and after that I gave up - you don't really have the time ... you'll see. Plus if the kids are on a good track, and they gain weight like they should, they will eat as much as they need. Their pediatrician told me not to stress too much over each oz of milk for them.

The Itzbeens are helpful because they have a light, you can use them in the dark - for night feedings. While pumping, I used to keep track of the time between pumping with the * button on the pink one. You can't print a report, but it works fine for us. Also we keep track of how long they sleep and how long they have been awake, that matters also, you lose track easily and then you realize they cry because they need to sleep. I love them, and thanks to whoever posted something about them on the Expecting forum while I was pregnant - that's how I found out about them.

 

We used one Itzbeen for our boys and it was a lifesaver in those first 9 months or so. I realize you probably want less gadgets and want something integrated with your smart phone, but I suspect the Itzbeen will be much simpler and easier to use than a smart phone app. Or maybe its just me that finds 80% of iPhone and Droid apps not exactly user friendly :lol: Or if they are straight forward in what to do, they require to many keystrokes for my liking. In any case I hope that you find an app that you like or some other device that works for you.

 

I have an iPhone and have Total Baby. It's not free. It cost me $4.99 but you can log up to six kids at a time. It's easy to use. I keep track of the twins and ny 2.5 yr old.

 

We used an actual book - the All About Me diary. It helped that both DH and I, and later the nanny, could all use and refer to the same thing. We still have one, but don't use it much anymore. The nanny makes notes in it about naps and feedings.
