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

[Darrell Shandrow Hilliker]

Hi Ronit,

Thanks for the lead on Baby Connect. Your experiences with it do not
seem to match mine. Immediately after purchasing and installing it, I
found unlabeled controls and very little useful information. I'm
wondering if this is an app that used to be accessible once upon a
time? I'd consider writing the app's developer, but, really, where's
the time for that? I guess I'll just ask Apple to issue a refund.

Thanks,

Darrell
