When babies are born, their stomachs are the size of a teaspoon, so there&#8217;s not a lot of room inside your little bundle of joy. Even if you have a notepad and are meticulous about charting feedings and diaper changes, there are times when you&#8217;ll hand your\u00a0kid off to your partner or you&#8217;ll forget your notepad or you&#8217;ll be so tired you&#8217;ll forget to write something down. The Baby Connect app solves that problem.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever my wife or I do anything for the kids, it goes in the app. We have Baby Connect on each of our phones. I take the night shift with the boys, helping them with everything until 4 a.m. When my wife wakes up and takes over, she can open Baby Connect to <strong>see a detailed log<\/strong> of everything I did for them overnight. It&#8217;s surprisingly thorough.<\/p>\n<h3>How it works<\/h3>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the main screen where I spend most of my time:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-101701\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/IMG_5870.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/IMG_5870.jpg 748w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/IMG_5870-173x300.jpg 173w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/IMG_5870-589x1024.jpg 589w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At a glance, I know that\u00a0 Zach ate 53 minutes ago and he last had a diaper change 1 hour and 48 minutes ago. That means he&#8217;s probably going to start screaming at me for food in 67 minutes. (My boys eat like clockwork.)<\/p>\n<p>If you want to add an entry, you just click the icon and an appropriate screen pops up. Let&#8217;s say I had to change Zach&#8217;s diaper. I&#8217;d click the <strong>Diaper<\/strong> button and this would appear:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-101702\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/IMG_5874.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/IMG_5874.jpg 750w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/IMG_5874-175x300.jpg 175w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/IMG_5874-597x1024.jpg 597w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My boys are fans of the &#8220;Open-Air Accident&#8221; option. What&#8217;s really nice is that if you&#8217;re feeding or changing simultaneously, there&#8217;s an option to add an entry for both kids at once. Just change two wet diapers? Hit <strong>Diaper<\/strong>, then touch your child&#8217;s picture at the top of the screen. That opens\u00a0a window for you to <strong>Select Multiple<\/strong> children.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s extremely helpful over time as the Baby Connect app starts <strong>generating charts<\/strong> that allow you to plan your purchases. I can see Zach&#8217;s appetite is growing, but tapering off a bit. I also see the dude rips through close to 80 diapers a week. So when I&#8217;m standing in Costco, looking at a 4,000-pack of diapers, I have a decent idea how long that will last us.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-101705 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/charts-1024x893.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/charts-1024x893.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/charts-300x262.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/charts-768x670.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/charts-1200x1047.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/charts.jpg 1486w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are also tabs for<strong> medical information<\/strong>, so you can add weight and height to chart your kids, along with any medicine they might be taking.<\/p>\n<p>If you have multiple people caring for your kids, they can all connect to the same account so everyone can add data throughout the day. This app is so flexible, even daycare centers can use it to track dozens of children. As your family grows, you can keep adding kids without additional charge.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Baby Connect costs $4.99. I&#8217;m the last person who ever wants to pay for an app, but two things are true: $4.99 is the cheapest baby-related thing you&#8217;ll ever buy and your sanity is definitely worth $4.99. On our first night from the hospital, as the boys were unleashing their sonic death cannons on us, we happily plunked down the five bucks and our lives have been better since then.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Baby Connect\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-logo-l,f_auto,dpr_auto\/p\/96cae3e4-30ad-11e7-bcba-68b0792497ac\/3726866891\/baby-connect-activity-log-logo.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Baby Connect<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/baby-connect-activity-log.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download Now \u25ba<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--80\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"80\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"8\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\">8<\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/baby-connect-activity-log.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five blessed weeks ago, I became a father to twin boys.
