[blparent] Accessible ways to track diaper changing, feeding, etc.

[Ronit Ovadia Mazzoni]

Hi everyone,
One app taht we have had our nanny use to keep track of things for us
is called baby connect. It's quite accessible, I really like using it.
I have used it to log things but honestly it's more work to do this as
new parents. IF yo uneed someone else to track it for you so yo ucan
read it later though, it's a great app. You can each have an account
so each parent can see each other's entries. I don't recommend
tracking feeds or diaper changes though, you will know if something is
wrong. Wet diapers are easy to track, every time you change a diaper
it should be wet. Feeds are so often that keeping track of them is
kind fo silly especially in the first few weeks.
Good luck.
Ronit
