Then quit after going back to work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tracking-baby-naps-feeding-etc#post-761525 Sat, 04 May 2013 22:13:54 +0000 shopaholic 761525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty addicted to tracking BFing time! Without it I wouldn't remember how long it has been and which side was last (I only feed one side per session). It also helps when she is cluster feeding so I can make sure to give the same side. I also love to know how many minutes each session is!</p> <p>I am really bad at tracking diapers and horrid at the sleep - but trying to track sleep better at night and for naps so I can get an idea of a pattern now. I also use it to track her weight and height from dr visits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tracking-baby-naps-feeding-etc#post-761466 Sat, 04 May 2013 21:08:22 +0000 oliviaoblivia 761466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave it up last week (dd is almost four months). I got so obsessed that I'd go to the bathroom and open the app to add it. I feel so free! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tracking-baby-naps-feeding-etc#post-761459 Sat, 04 May 2013 21:05:18 +0000 photojane 761459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once she was back at her birth weight at her two week appointment I stopped using it. I was obsessed with her eating and peeing enough those first two weeks since she lost so much weight. Now I feed on demand &amp; change her when she's wet. I didn't really see a need for it &amp; it was just one more thing to keep up with! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tracking-baby-naps-feeding-etc#post-761300 Sat, 04 May 2013 17:35:39 +0000 JerricaBenton 761300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is almost 3 months and I still track feeding and pees and poops. I could definitely drop the diaper tracking but I feel like I need to for some strange reason. I like to track feedings to remember left vs. right boob and to make sure she's eating enough even though I feed on demand LOL. I've never tracked naps because she's a great napper and sleeper so I've never worried about it. Also, I can kind of estimate based on the feeding times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tracking-baby-naps-feeding-etc#post-761245 Sat, 04 May 2013 16:26:55 +0000 lovehoneybee 761245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E is almost 9 months old and I use it to track naps and overnight sleep, mostly so I can know how long he's been up or down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tracking-baby-naps-feeding-etc#post-761243 Sat, 04 May 2013 16:24:41 +0000 lemondrop 761243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only kept notes for the first month or so. I unfortunately didn't find Baby Connect until he was about 6 months already. I do still use it often (about a year later) when he is sick. It is super helpful for pediatrician appointments when I can't remember how long his fevers have been or the last time he was sick or cut a tooth. When all sleep goes to crap I use it to get us back on a routine again. I use it for big milestones too so I can eventually update the baby book (or I look it up here in my archives, since I usually mention in my posts what is happening). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tracking-baby-naps-feeding-etc#post-761203 Sat, 04 May 2013 15:24:09 +0000 pregnantbee 761203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 10.5 months, I'm still tracking nursing sessions. It's kind of cool and mind blowing to see that I've nursed for over 22 days since birth! I also occasionally still record poop just to be sure he's regular. I also track milestones and growth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tracking-baby-naps-feeding-etc#post-761090 Sat, 04 May 2013 13:41:38 +0000 LemonLong 761090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably 8 weeks or so we stopped tracking. By then we all kind of knew the schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tracking-baby-naps-feeding-etc#post-761082 Sat, 04 May 2013 13:21:45 +0000 matador84 761082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just stopped tracking at 8 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tracking-baby-naps-feeding-etc#post-761066 Sat, 04 May 2013 12:56:36 +0000 Honeybee 761066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tracked everything for both kids for the first year. It was helpful, but after we bottle weaned, I only needed the sleep info, so I just dropped it altogether. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tracking-baby-naps-feeding-etc#post-761054 Sat, 04 May 2013 12:41:15 +0000 doodlepoodle 761054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lasted 3 months but only tracked feedings because I was so tired that I couldn't remember anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tracking-baby-naps-feeding-etc#post-761049 Sat, 04 May 2013 12:33:11 +0000 aprk 761049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: I feel obsessed with it!

Right now we track sleep and eating. I'm pretty sure we will drop sleep soon. Honestly it is just a good way for me to keep up with when he last ate and slept ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tracking-baby-naps-feeding-etc#post-761031 Sat, 04 May 2013 12:19:12 +0000 sslm 761031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only tracked for a week and then Madeline had passed her birth weight so I decided to stop! Might take it up again later, especially for sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tracking-baby-naps-feeding-etc#post-761021 Sat, 04 May 2013 12:12:15 +0000 BKCaribBaby 761021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only track feedings and diapers, but it's more for me to know how long ago I did those things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tracking-baby-naps-feeding-etc#post-761007 Sat, 04 May 2013 11:50:36 +0000 irene 761007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We "weaned off" of the app at 10-11 months! It was more for our ex-nanny toward the end. It was especially helpful when we were traveling overseas where we need to adjust timezones. I agree with @ladyfingers: that at the end I feel like I was a slave to it and I stopped as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tracking-baby-naps-feeding-etc#post-761006 Sat, 04 May 2013 11:48:54 +0000 Weagle 761006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Diapers for a few weeks, sleep off and on for a few months, and nursing for about 8 months.

The only reason it was really helpful was because her pedi always wanted to know how often she was eating, in the end though "on-demand" wasn't okay with them &amp; when I actually kept &amp; told them the number they told me to stop feeding so much. Pfft. No thanks! I haven't tracked feedings since.</p> <p>I do still use it to keep her growth stats though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tracking-baby-naps-feeding-etc#post-760949 Sat, 04 May 2013 10:56:05 +0000 autumnlove 760949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used it for over a year with LO. She is now 16 months old and I only use it to track naps and overnight sleep.</p> <p>I use it obsessively for my newborn but I don't think I can keep it up for a year this time! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tracking-baby-naps-feeding-etc#post-760944 Sat, 04 May 2013 10:53:58 +0000 aprk 760944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you used an app like Baby Connect, how long did you keep it up?</p> <p>We have been tracking sleep, feeding, and diapers. I admit that it's fun to look at the data, but I worry that I'm getting too attached to it. He's eating and sleeping on demand at this point (4 weeks), so I wonder if I can just stop using the app. He's gaining weight like a champ. </p>
