Baby Daybook - Newborn Diary Reviews

by Administrators Help Please!

I paid for the premium account and it worked for a short time and now it has logged me out and I have the basic package. I am able to log in again, to get premium that I paid for, for a very short time and then BabyDaybook moves me back to basic and I loose my data and I get adds. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling BabyDaybook and I lost all of my data from the last few months. I have notified the customer service department twice by email and still have not heard anything or how they will resolve the issue.
BabyDaybook used to work, so buy at your own risk. I don’t know if I will get access again or be able to retrieve the lost data. I liked BabyDaybook before this.

I’ve been using the full version of BabyDaybook primarily to track my baby’s wake times/sleep since he was just a couple of months old. With a toddler to wrangle, I was always forgetting how long the baby had been awake. It’s been so helpful in making sure he’s not overtired and in seeing patterns that have helped me create a natural schedule for him. Also great for noting when medications have been given!

I wish there were a way to track breastfeeding sessions without having to note which breast and for how long...just WHEN. I’ve just used the bottle notation instead.

Received and update from the developers and app is working as expected. Great app.

App had been working perfectly and was a great way for my wife and I to keep track of all of our baby’s activities and give our pediatrician an accurate overview. However, since this morning BabyDaybook stopped syncing between our two devices and we are both getting an error saying “No Internet Connection” even though we are on WiFi with internet access on our phones...
Willing to update to 4-5 stars once this issue is resolved.

This is a huge help when you are sleep deprived and can't remember what time you started pumping or breastfeeding or how long your baby has been sleeping. But it's frustrating that you can't start and stop the timer from the lock screen, or your Apple watch. When you're holding your baby with one hand and trying to help them stay latched with the other, it's hard to reach for your phone, unlock it, and start the timer. I usually end up doing it before I start.

My wife, our doulas, and I have found BabyDaybook to be a great tool for logging everything and doing easy handoffs when we hand over responsibility for our baby. It’s really easy to log things while holding the baby, and scrolling through the logs is faster and more accurate than trying to do a verbal handoff, especially in the middle of the night. The doula can also arrive having already read the log and know how things have been going and have suggestions on how to improve things when she arrives. I like the fact that we can glance at the top of the log to see how long it has been since he last ate, slept, etc. and to see how much of each activity total he’s had today. I haven’t taken the time to explore all the features of BabyDaybook , but it’s been well worth it for the ones I’ve used, and my wife and doulas have been really impressed with BabyDaybook.

BabyDaybook helped my husband and me adapt and feel in semi-control when we had our baby. The first few weeks, we tracked wet and dirty diapers and it was really helpful to use the data when we went to the pediatrician to confirm that our baby was on track and not having any issues! 3.5 months in, and I still chart feeding sessions because it helps me note when a growth spurt or other change is happening!

We’ve been using BabyDaybook religiously since our babe was born 7 months ago. Love how adaptable and flexible BabyDaybook is in terms of how to input the data and the types of things you can log like medication and crying. LOvED that I could also use it to keep track of pumping and breastfeeding. And when we have a babysitter, nanny or family member visit we can add them to BabyDaybook really easily so they can see and add data.

We used BabyDaybook a few years ago with our first kid. Now that we have our second baby, we immediately went back to BabyDaybook and even pay for premium. It’s just so simple to track our baby. The only missing feature: an Alexa integration. I’d love to be able to log diapers, etc while changing the baby using my voice. By the time I’ve washed my hands, sometimes I forget to go back to BabyDaybook .

My daughter recently went back to work full time, very hard decision for her since this is her 1st child and she breast feeds. However, his other grandmother and I were excited, we could have time with our beautiful 5 Month old grandson! The other grandmother is way more tech savvy than me; so she immediately went to find an app that we could all use to keep up with his daily routine and for my daughter to be able to see at “real time” what activities her son is doing. 😍 BabyDaybook is great for any mom, grandparents, nanny, day sitter etc. it helps keep everyone abreast of any changes and documents everything so my daughter can provide accurate information to his pediatrician during well baby visits. Definitely recommend!

I can’t imagine what we would have done without BabyDaybook after having used it for the last 8 months, when our daughter was born. Having the seamless ability to synchronize data between my wife and I was invaluable. We have records for every day going back to the day she was born and have pretty graphs to allow us to see trends and sleep patterns. BabyDaybook could have cost $100/user and it still would have been worth it.

by Vivahale

My friend with two kids recommended BabyDaybook to me when I was pregnant. I downloaded and used the free version at first. I loved BabyDaybook and being able to see the statistics was just too helpful so I paid for the lifetime cost. I’m so glad I did. BabyDaybook has made keeping track of my baby super easy. I especially like the care taker option. It syncs flawlessly and it really helps us getting more sleep by checking BabyDaybook instead of doing a hand over.

Just recently brought my baby home from a week long NICU stay and was definitely interested in logging as much about my baby as I could when I got home. Was going to invest in the Talli Baby Tracker device, but decided to try an app first. Came across BabyDaybook and so far it does and offers everything I was looking for! Awesome! I can log pumping/mLs, bottle feeds/amount, diaper changes, etc. and can edit if need be. Worth a try, especially for first time parents such as me and my husband!

by Fshad

Being a first time mom BabyDaybook has really helped me track everything the baby does. It actually comes in really handy when I have to go to a doctors visit and they ask me how many times the baby is bottle-fed and how many wet diapers they’ve had, etc. I love it so far and actually got the premium version now. The only thing I can’t figure out is how to do the PDF export? It would be great if someone can point out how to do that. Other than that again fantastic app.

by Ddrcoder

Incredibly well-designed. This clean, clear UI makes it as easy as I could imagine to efficiently log the care of our newborn. Much to my surprise, it supports real-time data syncing across devices and accounts, and it works well. This makes it a lot easier to maintain a consistent log across multiple caregivers.

I’m really delighted with BabyDaybook. I would never have expected to find such a high-quality product for this need. I’d have payed >$50 for this, and it’s free with ads or available for a lifetime for <$20.

by Visqis

This is a plain and simple tracker without any of the added bloat that most trackers have. It lets my wife and I just get in, log what we need, and get out. Other apps constantly prompt you to check out other features when really parents just want to be able to get back to what they were doing. I also really appreciate the Assistant integration, although I would also like Siri integration of some sort so that I way I can make custom Shortcuts for quickly logging his frequent servings and naps.

My husband and I are first-time parents, and BabyDaybook helps us keep our baby’s life organized. It has made it really easy to track when our son eats, when his diaper was last changed, how long he’s been sleeping, etc. One of the big things we were looking for was the ability to both have access to BabyDaybook from our own phones under the same login, and BabyDaybook can do that! We tried a lot of others before finding this one and we love it. I would definitely recommend the Baby Daybook!

I’m so happy to see that this is now a popular and well used app. In 2018/early 2019, we were one of the first people to try BabyDaybook out. I don’t even think it had any ratings yet. Our first baby was almost due and so like any neurotic parent, clicked to download all of the baby tracking apps and went one by one trying them for interface. We loved this one and upgraded to premium after a few days to support it. Now we have our second 2 months ago and are using it again. Love it so much!! We suggest it to all our friends and family having kids.

by Lady_bird1588

As new parents, we are loving BabyDaybook! We are able to keep track of all of our babies information about feeding and diapers, as well as medicines, dr appts, vaccines, and even playtime in one place! We both are able to look and see what was done by the previous one without waking one another to find out. It also lets my husband see how the day is going while he’s at work so he knows if the baby is eating well etc. I don’t think I’d be able to remember myself when the last dirty diaper was or
The last time I pumped without having BabyDaybook, so definitely recommend it!!

I’ve never reviewed an app before now but this one really is awesome. I heavily rely on it for the data and have found it to be incredibly helpful to track progress and predict needs. I can go days without my little one crying because I’m able to anticipate his needs from using BabyDaybook . I had a question for the developers and they were very quick to respond and troubleshoot (user error). When the pediatrician asks how my baby is eating or sleeping, I can show them actual numbers instead of just saying “fine.” Having an app like this has been a life saver and really helps combat mom-brain forgetfulness. 5 stars for sure.

by Gdexter2

Love the UI, though it takes a bit of getting used to. The developer is very responsive and answers queries within 24 hours. The sync between caregiver accounts is instantaneous and reliable. The charts elucidate patterns and outliers which I find helpful as a data person.

BabyDaybook would be even better if it came with an Apple Watch feature, at least for those actions that require a start-stop, such as tummy time and breastfeeding.

I would also like to have a feature that exports all charts to a pdf that can be printed before doctor visits. The current way of downloading each chart as a png is cumbersome

by Mommy Nish

I’d give BabyDaybook a 5 star rating (hell a 6 star rating) if the data could be exported into excel for me to create my own charts & analyze things. (Yes, I’m a data nerd as my day job)

I’d also love to have the ability to mark things using my Apple Watch so I’m not so attached to my phone. Even at the young age of 3 months, my baby recognizes how much I’m on my phone & I don’t want her thinking it’s more important than she is. Having it on the watch would make it quick to mark things, while not having to carry my phone literally everywhere in the house with me.

This is one of those great apps that we added to our tool belt as new parents. It helps keep track of common tasks like diaper changes, feeding, tummy time, bottle quantity, etc. The great thing that swayed us to BabyDaybook was the integration with Google Home. We just talk to BabyDaybook using our a Google Assistant devices and setup reminders for feeding and track other common things like number of diapers, feeding quantity, sleep patterns, etc. This is very helpful for answering the numerous Qs you get while at the pediatrician.

by DexorC

As a new parent, you get asked A LOT of questions about your baby. Most of these questions are based on frequency, how much, and how long.
BabyDaybook makes tracking relevant things about your baby a breeze. It gives confidence in simple things like, yes, the baby is producing enough poopy diapers, and right, they did actually sleep 12 hours today, etc.
At the end of the day, it’s a timer app, but one presented so well, so cleanly, and so easy to use that it was worth the cost of the lifetime subscription, even though we’ll probably only use it for a few years.
The developers did a good job making BabyDaybook simple, powerful, and quick to use.
Additionally the partner or caregiver sync is fantastic, updating near instant when one partner updates.

Great work, and I highly recommend it to new and veteran parents alike.

by Brit Hayf

I don’t usually leave reviews, but BabyDaybook has been so useful for us. I don’t know how you’d have any idea what time your newborn last ate or slept without it. It’s simple and super user friendly. Only change I would like to see is the ability to move the tools in the toolbar around so you can personalize that with what you use the most up at the front. Super glad we found BabyDaybook early on in our new parenting journey.

by Madison5328

We love using BabyDaybook because it doesn’t take many clicks to log what you need to. Make your partner download it too so they can help you by starting a feeding, log a log (as we say in our house when there’s a dirty diaper), see when baby is due to eat in the wee hours without having to wake you, etc. BabyDaybook is super easy to use with your hands full with baby. Best baby app I’ve found, I recommend it to everyone who’s expecting!

by MegRod11

BabyDaybook was recommended by a lot of mommies on my “moms of multiples” page and it does not disappoint. Not only is it free, but it it easy very easy to use. I can easily toggle between the babies to log their sleep, nursing time, diaper changes (and what is in the diaper), baths, tummy time, etc! The timer and alarm makes keeping track of feedings super simple (and if you forget to turn it off you can always go back and adjust times).

by MamaBearBoy

My husband and I are first time parents and can not RAVE more about BabyDaybook! It is so easy to use, simple, clean, well organized and has a way to track everything you need! Plus we have the lifetime membership and it allows us to both have BabyDaybook on our phones and sync data! It provided us something we could process and handle with the chaos of a newborn!!! LOVE!!!!

by Lalidonnan

I have been using BabyDaybook since my son was 5 days old. He is almost 2. The father and grandmothers also log and have grown to love tracking everything. When I don’t update, I get a message from my mom asking about him. I. Any wait for Alexa integration. Baby #2 on the way and I will use it for both kids. I would (and have) recommend BabyDaybook to anyone. Thank you!!

by Arlene.drynfluff

I love BabyDaybook. It’s perfect for people who run on hard numbers, or who simply need one tool to do multiple things for them. Granted, it has a lot of a bells and whistles that seem unnecessary to me (why do you need to record when your baby cries??), but it’s great for recording times feeding on left/right breasts, diapers, naps, etc. I highly recommend for a new parent or parents (which I am!).

by ProTiff

We use BabyDaybook for our twins! Early on we tried paper and pencil tracking and it got so complicated. BabyDaybook allows us to figure out who has a diaper change and when, tracks all the information we need, and creates easy to read graphs so we can noticed trends with our babies! Highlight recommend for single babies and multiples alike!

by J7AppReview

BabyDaybook has been VERY helpful for me and my newborn son. It allows me to keep a complete and accurate time and log for all the important activities being done, while also syncing the information with my significant other to their own device which they can also edit so easily using the simple to understand tools.
