Our daughter had reflux that led to bottle aversion. We logged everything but couldn't find the patterns. Built something from our own pain.
Hello,
When we had a newborn, she had lot of reflux that eventually led to bottle aversion. We used to track every feed, every diaper and she used to mostly sleep on us as if we lay her down she would spit up the milk.
My wife also tried to cut lot of foods from her diet but we did not know how to track her diet and the symptoms together, Its a lot of mental math on top of the newborn phase we are going through and eventually gave up on that.
These experience led us to work on an app over the past year and built something that we think will help new parents who were in our shoes, We tried to solve our own problems.
- Moms can log their own diet in the same baby tracker app.
- A feature where you can ask anything from the logs, like "What did I eat before her last reflux symptom" or "Is there any pattern between what i eat vs his/her symptoms" because we have mom's diet logged we have an algorithm to check for patterns when a question is asked, Not only pattern questions you can recall anything like "what was her weight at 2 months?" "When did we first introduce egg?" etc
- One of the things we wished we had when we were tracking is logging by voice or text, Its hard to catch up sometimes so we built this, You can just brief your whole day in one shot and it will log all those at once (Need time mentioned otherwise it logs to current time 😃)
- Another issue we had was our nanny used to send us a text summary at the end of the day and we used to manually enter those to our tracker to keep everything in one place, We intentionally did not want to invite her to our tracker because of privacy. To solve this problem we build a feature where you either take a screenshot of text and upload it to the app or you can copy the text and use text to log feature, Currently brainstorming how to better integrate with brighthweel so those logs can be moved to baby tracker.
- One more challenge was we wish we could log using Siri (watch as well), But most of the trackers at that time did not have this feature and even now the trackers lets you log one event at a time but we built it such that you can add multiple logs at once like "Hey Siri, Ask APP_NAME to log" and then speak " 4oz at 9, pooped at 9:30, nap from 11 to 12"
I want to ask if any of you relate to these problems? Genuinely looking for feedback nothing else.
