Baby Brain

Life with a newborn baby means endless feedings, diaper changes, sporadic sleep patterns- it all blurs together in those first few weeks and Baby Brain is designed to help you keep track and make sense of it all. It’s an easy to use app with a great built in help system. Hints pop up as you work your way through the app. You can read them and then choose to hide the hint until next time or never see it again. I left them on for a bit until I had the hang of the app.

You begin using Baby Brain by adding babies to a list. Enter in their name, birth date, and the amount they take in a bottle. Now you’ll just need to tap the baby on the list and you’ll go to a main screen where you can start tracking your information. It’s very straightforward. Tap the appropriate button for what you want to track – nursing, bottle, diaper or sleep then enter in your information. Once you’ve entered it in and saved it you’ll see it on your main screen. At the bottom of the screen you can choose whether to view the information by day, week or month. At the top of the screen is a “Share” button. This allows you to email out your information log. The app will open up your email and you’ll see a nicely laid out table of what the baby’s done for the day.

I could do without the use of “boob” and the graphic on the nursing button. But I’m well aware that having growing daughters has turned me into a bit of a prude. Overall Baby Brain is thorough and would be very helpful to new moms.
