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

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

When the baby has a diaper rash, her bottom will feel warm and usually 
bumpy.  Another clue is that she will be fussy and out of sorts.  If she's 
fussy when you change her diaper, it's wise to check for a rash.  It's also 
smart to put on a smidge of ointment where your baby is prone to get a rash 
anyway, even if there isn't one, just as a precaution.  Also, certain 
diapers may affect your baby, so don't buy too many of any one kind before 
she comes along.  You'll get to know which ones don't agree with your baby 
soon enough so you can avoid them.

The only people that I know
that track diaper changes and
feedings are either doctors or
childcare centers.  I wonder
how you tell if your child has
diaper rash?  Since the bottom
of the baby is usually red.

Hi,

I never tracked any of this
information unless it had been
requested by a
doctor.  Unless there's an
issue with feeding it's not
necessary to do so.
But if I needed to I'd have
used a memo app on my phone or
dictated it into
notes, or used notepad if my
windows pc was closest.  the
tracking apps for
such things are really not
helpful for us but might be
for your doctor if
there are fraphs etc.

Hello Everyone,

Allison and I realize that we
need to be able to log and
track several
important metrics, such as
diapers and feeding. Of
course, in our
new-born care class, the
instructor described writing
this information
into a log, which obviously
does nothing for us.

We wish to be able to log and
effectively use this
information in a
way that works best for us,
while reasonably accommodating
the needs
of sighted hospital staff.

I tried the tracking tools
found in the Baby Connect and
My Baby Today
iOS apps, but found them
inaccessible.

I would be interested in
learning how all of you have
tracked critical
baby-related metrics in an
accessible manner.

Thanks,

Darrell
