WebMD Baby Reviews

I have been using WebMDBaby for about 2 months now and I love it because I am able to track feeding schedules and I like timing how long my son has been eating for. The problem I find is that when I set the nursing timer and then exit out of WebMDBaby to look at something else, the timer will reset back to zero as if I didn't start it. This has happened multiple times. At first I thought I was just not thinking clearly and must have forgotten to set it, but I have tested this out a few more times and it keeps happening. I found that I have to wait about 20 seconds before I can leave the timer screen and I have to keep checking back with it in order to make sure it's still working. This is extremely inconvenient especially for sleep deprived parents.

We chose WebMDBaby because it has the ability for multiple users to enter data from
Multiple devices- after using it for 2 months now- this is about the only good thing.

We track all food and diaper activity. Every single bit. Yet- there is no way for me to see trends or an analysis. Aka - what's the average diapers per day? Can I get a graph depiction? There are really easy things to add to enhance- but this has nothing. And from WebMD I'd expect more. The worst one is the feeding though. Honestly? No way to see daily totals side by side- at least? I am impressed by the LACK of data analysis- which is the most important thing for new parents- KNOWING how their little one is doing. If we use WebMDBaby - we need to be able to analyze the data.

I will be looking for alternate apps and will manually transfer everything if I have to. That is how frustrated I am getting. For new parents- if you want to know your averages for your little one- don't waste time using WebMDBaby- it does not provide you that option!

Also- it glitches. We have lost records because of it and - had some unfortunate "midnight discussions" about not logging information- when it turns out they had!

My wife and I have used this for the last six months to track our baby's diapers and bottles. The one shining feature is the ability to sync between phones.

That doesn't make up for the terrible input controls. See, every time you input a bottle you're presented with a scroll wheel control. This is fine if you're tracking in oz, I suppose, but we track in ml. There are two wheels, one for the number and one for ml or oz. We have to pick ml every time because there no way to set a default, and if you accidentally bump the wrong spot on the control it switches back to oz and you have to re-scroll all the way from zero to 180 or whatever. Super annoying. A number pad would be so much easier to use.

WebMDBaby also lacks any sort of reasonable reporting or export. The most you can see is a day at one time and there is no way to see, for example, a graph of total eaten by day over the past week. There's no way to get a spreadsheet of the data either, so even if you wanted to make a graph in excel it's impossible.

Oh, and in a recent version they added ads that cover the input control sometimes but not always. Extremely annoying at 2am.

WebMDBaby is very helpful for the times when you just can't remember when the last time you fed the baby or even if you did feed the baby lol. Also useful to know daily totals so that you can get an idea of how much your baby is taking in. Tracking diapers seems mundane but you'll notice that for doctor check ups it comes in handy. The only feature I wish it had was a button to track when or what days you gave the baby a bath. Sometimes it's easy to forget that.

Love WebMDBaby , use it constantly and we have sitters and grandparents that use WebMDBaby when they babysit. Just wish that if I set a timer, another user could stop it. Sometimes data entered by another user isn’t visible right away when using a different phone. Seems to need time to update. Also, if I have WebMDBaby open too long on the background, the menu icons disappear and I have close out and reopen to get to the tracker.

We started using WebMDBaby about 2 years and 4 months ago when my daughter had her little boy. At the present her little girl is 6 months and it has proved to be an invaluable source of information. All 4 grandparents use it on their phones and at any time when babysitting you have information regarding feeding, diaper changes and sleep.

I would and have recommended this to anyone that has small children.

WebMDBaby routinely opens without the navigation buttons at the bottom and has to be completely closed to reset. It also lacks a report export function to see feeding totals over the course of days - it’s extremely inconvenient to navigate between days’ data (multiple clicks and whole screens). Also, entering the PIN every 5 seconds is annoying, especially for the breastfeed timer. Other apps are able to stay logged in, please figure this out, you’re not a bank with my secure info on file...

My baby just turned one year. And reflecting upon her first year, WebMD baby app has been the absolute best decision I made; tracking her daily schedule and using the memory book to upload photos has helped me to stay organized in all the chaos of the first year. I undoubtedly recommend using WebMDBaby for not only tracking but also for the educational articles and weekly updates.

So far I am pretty happy with WebMDBaby . I just wish there was a way to indicate you're switching sides during a breastfeeding instead of having to end the session and then start a new one. It would be handier if you could say the starting breast and then when you need to, click to switch. Then it could track starting side and how long was spent on each side. Otherwise it's pretty helpful.

As a first time mom WebMDBaby kept me sane! In my perpetual time of sleep deprivation I am able to tract exactly how many diapers my little one is making and how long he's breastfeeding and or how much bottle he is getting. I use it all day long for my son and honestly, I don't know what I would have done without it! Also, the articles attached are excellent sources of information as well. I LOVE WebMDBaby! Excellent job!

With a new baby on your hands you will want something to help remind you when the last feeding or nap was to help keep you sane and baby happy. The last thing you want to have to remember on top of everything else is sleep cycles, diapers etc. bonus WebMDBaby can be shared with your partner so when one takes over they're not lost. Very helpful at wellness checkups too!

Lots of good stuff, but there are much needed articles that are missing. On my main page, I see “Baby Development: Your 1-month-old”, but when I click on it, there’s nothing there except the source/written by info. Probably keep this pending what I find on other apps, because there’s a great search feature and I love being able to look up my weird questions... but I need my Development articles.

I love all the trackers and the quick tips. My favorite component having the widget available for quick access to see when my baby are last. My husband and I use the trackers on our own phones and it is great to share the information. Something I would like is for the widget to refresh after my husband uses it on his phone. Otherwise, WebMDBaby is great and helpful!

This seems to be the best tracker app (with great WebMD information backed in) that I could find with a reliable watch companion app. The others I have tried (sleepbaby) which were paid apps did not deliver properly on the watch side (glitchy).

Back to WebMD Baby. It works! The features it does has work well and allow for manual evaluation of the input data. Which leads me to my main complaint. There is minimal summary data and no charting.

Lastly, there is one annoyance with the watch app that I hope they reconsider. They have decided that it is beneficial to reorder the tracker list based on last used. This makes muscle memory impossible and midnight tracking difficult.

Without these features added/fixed WebMDBaby will remain in the sub 3-5 star rating.

Overall I like WebMDBaby. I like that multiple people can access WebMDBaby so we don't worry about getting all information when we pick up from third parties. I do wish you could switch days on the overall tracker, not just one category at a time. Lastly, there should be a option for pumping so you can note when you pump and how long.

I love WebMDBaby! It was great to know what to expect with my baby's growth every week through WebMDBaby. After your baby is a year old, you can still keep track of what to expect on a monthly basis. It is very useful. My daughter is 18 months and I still use it.
I just wish the feeding feature was better. I had to use a different app while nursing to keep track of feeds.

Ap worked well for tracking tools up until two months ago. It started deleting my data right after I input. Sometimes it will randomly reappear but not always. Very frustrating when I don't know how much/when my baby has eaten or napped! I emailed them a month ago and it's still not fixed! This was by far my favorite app for tracks by tools until it stopped working! My baby is nine months old and it just randomly stopped working two months ago! Please fix it so I can use it again, fir now going with another ap!

My husband and I use this multiple times every day for feeding and diapers. I wish there was a tracker for bath time. My one concern is that WebMDBaby doesn't always update and I have to close out multiple times to see my husband's entries. Overall, it still helps my husband and I schedule and track all diapers and feedings.

I just want an app that tracks breastfeeding and diapers. For that simple need, WebMDBaby falls short.

It’s not intuitive to reach the nursing tracker, and I really don’t like how many steps it takes to reach the daily record so you know which side to start on. There also isn’t any way to track patterns (seems to be a common theme for these apps in general). You can barely make sense of the data for the last day - especially while sleep deprived!

Also very glitchy. It keeps sending me back to the home page without warning, and as I said it’s hard enough to reach the timer as it is...

In fairness their reminder setup is a good one, and if you’re interested in articles and advice that seems helpful. But I’m going to look elsewhere.

Using WebMDBaby as a first time mom was amazing, and now the second time around, it's just as fantastic. I love keeping track of his sleeping, and feedings, and then having it archived to check throughout the day. The articles are wonderful and so very helpful. Wonderful app, and it is free! Doesn't get better than that.
