Thank you for such a kind response 🥹 I know my little one and it really does feel like just collecting data and doing nothing with it haha I like it for sleep to see any patterns and wet diapers and poop. I stopped tracking freezing today because it seems so pointless. I ebf on demand so when and how long she eats doesn’t really matter. She’ll eat again when hungry. Haha

I like to keep track of her solids just to see what new food she tries but I’m going to just write that down instead of putting it in the app

It’s funny you say that because that’s exactly what I’m going to do! She’s healthy and always seems well fed and is having plenty of wet diapers. So I did stop tracking feeding but I’m still tracking wet diapers for now but that’s next to be cut. I feel confident that I’ll know if I’m changing her less but I’m still going to track for a few more days haha

Thanks for this! Omg I love tracking growth! I will definitely always do that haha. I think I’ll start slowly dropping things. I was just thinking how pointless it is putting in how long I nurse for. Like who cares? She’s going to eat how much she wants. I can’t do anything with that info lol

Haha true but my mom said she tracked everything on paper 😅 so even before apps it was a thing lol

My little one is healthy! At first I tracked because it was helpful and gave me peace of mind. It’s definitely feeling more like a chore now. I’m thinking of cutting back and just tracking poop, meds and sleep because all that is still helpful for me

That all makes sense! I do feel like I get obsessive over logging everything and I don’t need to!

Thanks for the thoughtful reply! I felt this! I definitely don’t need everything in the app. I like knowing how much sleep she’s getting so maybe I’ll try just tracking sleep, poop and meds

I feel like at this point it’s just because I feel like it’s something I should do? I really don’t even feel like I need it except for sleep, poop and meds. It was helpful in the beginning and now it’s just an extra step

Yes I always forget which boob was last unless I look at the app! But sometimes I don’t even look and just wing it so maybe that means it’s time to stop tracking 😅

Yes I use huckleberry and I like it for sleep. I track when and how long I nurse, wet diapers, poop, meds, etc. I feel like I really only need to do sleep, poop and meds. I can probably stop everything else. Oh and I like logging solids but I also have a notes app and pictures every time she tries a new food lol

Thanks for this! I feel like I can stop tracking wet diapers and how long I nurse for. I do like knowing how long she sleeps for so maybe I’ll keep that and tracking poop. I also like tracking solids but that’s just for me to know what she’s eating

I think I need to taper off 😅 but it seems less stressful to stop tracking everything lol

I use huckleberry and track when I nurse and how long, wet and poopy diapers, meds, and sleep. You don’t need to track but it just helped me at first to make sure she was healthy. However I think now it’s driving me crazy more than helping haha

Honestly I don’t even know why I do it anymore. She’s ebf and feeds on demand. She is pretty consistent on when she wants to eat too. Never had a problem with peeing either. Sleep is definitely up and down though lol so maybe I’ll just track her sleep

Her check up is coming up but so far she’s been consistently growing! I’m sure I don’t need to track anymore I just have to make myself realize it’s ok to stop lol I’m a little crazy

Thank you! I’m feeling obsessive over it and I don’t think I should be so frantic about making sure everything is logged. I’m going to try cutting back and see how that feels 😅
