I was religiously using that thing till DD was like 7-8 months! </p> <p>I think I'd use it again for LO2 in the future. I'm to obsessed, haha. I also suspect with 2 kids I will need it more than ever to help me keep track?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2453127 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 07:51:19 +0000 Bluemasonjar 2453127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I both use it for Lo1. It is so much easier to glance at your phone to see how long since he has ate/slept versus trying to remember it all, plus it helps show trends with sttn and things. We plan to use for Lo2 as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2453114 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 07:21:17 +0000 Adira 2453114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used iBaby for both kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2453110 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 07:02:39 +0000 sotofamilia 2453110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used it for a few months with my first. I don't track anything with my second. I do still use the app to track height and weight for both my kids - I like seeing their percentiles! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2453106 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 06:36:19 +0000 bisous 2453106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsrain: I think when I purchased it back in 2013 there was only a paid version. On the website though, it looks like you could use it for free if you download the app for your computer only.</p> <p>For how much I used it for my first, I consider it $4.99 well spent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2453088 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 00:15:19 +0000 lilteacherbee 2453088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tracked only a month for each LO, mainly just to keep track of when I was nursing them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2453067 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 22:41:43 +0000 iheartleopardprint 2453067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Didn't use it for my first two LOs, and won't use it for this one either. Wayyyyyy to lazy to do anything like logging nappies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2453060 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 22:25:39 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2453060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used it all the time for LO1. For LO2, I've only been using it the last few days because we're sleep training and I want to see how much sleep he is getting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2453057 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 22:13:06 +0000 sapphire 2453057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tracked things for 2 weeks and then stopped. Once back to birth weight, there didn't seem to be a point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2452697 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 12:03:14 +0000 mrsrain 2452697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used a different app for my first. Out of curiosity, what's the difference between basic and premium on this app? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2452455 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 02:52:27 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2452455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've used it with all three. I like looking at the data and with three little ones it helps me keep track of feelings and diapers because I cannot keep that stuff in my head anymore.<br /> For the older two I only track well visits and vaccinations. For the newbie I track diapers and feeding but not sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2452426 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 00:46:14 +0000 fussygal 2452426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used it for a few weeks with DD, but I stopped after 5-6 weeks because I kept forgetting. I would like to use it when DS gets here since DD had such trouble gaining weight and crazy sleep, I really wish I'd stuck with it to see patterns and gain insights that I might have been too sleepy to miss ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2452401 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 23:34:21 +0000 BSB 2452401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely need it for my twins. I don't ever remember when the twins last ate or had a diaper.<br /> I'll probably use my total baby app, if I have a third. I don't BF now but when I did, it was useful to know how long they nursed for and what boob and how much I pumped. If I have a third, I do want to try BFing again and will probably want to track my progress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2452338 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 21:52:26 +0000 lemondrop 2452338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't actually get it until my first was 6 months old. I really only record meds and temps when they are sick. I recorded sleep stats when things were trying to look for patterns. For #2 I recorded the first week of feedings/diapers until I was sure we were on track with weight gain since our first was so difficult to gain weight initially. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2452247 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 19:52:10 +0000 Tidybee 2452247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe for about a day or two. Then i just realized I had more confidence in myself and ditched it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2452242 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 19:41:13 +0000 mrsjyw 2452242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2452240 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 19:36:38 +0000 sorrycharlie 2452240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used for both! With DD2, I still track #2 because DD1 had such constipation issues I'm paranoid. </p> <p>I've also tracked her nursing (roughly, not exact minutes) because I'm so exhausted I never remember when she last nursed. Ha. </p> <p>I track sleep too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2452234 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 19:19:06 +0000 bisous 2452234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This all makes so much sense. I feel more confident this time (and don't have the time with a toddler around either!). I will probably use it if/when I feel like I need it..but not religiously like I did for LO1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2452226 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 19:08:38 +0000 Foodnerd81 2452226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never used baby connect but had a free app for all those things. I mostly tracked feeding and sleeping. </p> <p>This time I still use an app to track feeding but mostly just what time she ate and what side, since I can't remember anything. And for a while she was hardly pooping so I did use it for that so I would know when the last time she did was (like4 days or more). But she poops every day now so not necessary. I still like it to remember when she ate so I know when she is likely to be hungry again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2452187 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 17:54:57 +0000 travelgirl1 2452187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used it with my first but not with my second. I was so much more confident with him, plus he fed really well from the go so I wasn't so anxious about how long he fed for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2452185 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 17:53:13 +0000 Ree723 2452185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used it with my first for about seven months before I started phasing down with it. With LO2, I planned on using it, but by about 3 days pp, I realised I just wasn't that interested, and more to the point, I felt confident in what I was doing and didn't need to check how long it had been since she'd last eaten, had a nappy, or slept! </p> <p>The only thing I missed were the statistics - I still love now looking back at how many hours DD1 slept at certain ages, and looking at the colour coded bar graphs etc. But the hassle of inputting the data means I probably won't be using it again with baby #3... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2452175 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 17:23:23 +0000 lovehoneybee 2452175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used it with my first but only while I was in the hospital with my second....they wanted me to keep track of things and it was easier than doing it the paper log they gave me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2452174 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 17:22:49 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 2452174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used it for months with DS1 ... Maybe a week with DS2 :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2452145 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 16:39:00 +0000 autumnlove 2452145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I still use it for all of my LOs. I track the most for LO 3 but I still put in medicine and temps for 1&amp;2. I'm addicted and my husband thinks I'm nuts. :-p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2452124 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 16:08:21 +0000 Charm54 2452124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i EPed so used it with both to track my output. Once my supply was established after about a month i stopped for both girls </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2452119 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 16:00:23 +0000 birdofafeather 2452119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Used it like crazy for DD1 (like logging diapers for months!), and for like 2-3 days either DD2. 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2452117 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 15:59:19 +0000 Corduroy 2452117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't for LO1 but I did for LO2. I thought maybe I overestimated how many hours I spent feeding LO1 so I wanted to track how It spent my day. Also LO1 was a terrible napper and I wanted to try EASY and try more of a routine. Despite my efforts he was a constant eater and crap napper. I tracked intermittently for 10 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2452088 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 15:15:42 +0000 Applesandbananas 2452088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't for LO1, but might for LO2 because daycare uses it in the infant room now, so I think it'll be beneficial for the teachers to know when LO last ate, was changed, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2452085 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 15:11:21 +0000 winniebee 2452085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes for DS1 and not really for DS2. I was so much more confident in knowing how he was eating the second time around and frankly there just wasn't much time to keep track with a toddler running around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-connect-did-you-use-it-for-secondthird-kids#post-2452082 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 15:05:17 +0000 AprilFool 2452082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I will use it again but probably just for those first few weeks when things are blurry. </p>
