Best Privacy Focused Baby Tracking App (midwest.social)

My partner just hit her third trimester and we are getting everything ready for when our first baby arrives. When our baby arrives we want to use one of those baby tracking apps that allow you to log when the baby was fed, when they pooped etc. I want to make sure whatever my partner and I use doesn't sell our data.

We will need something that we both can use on our own phones and want it simple and easy to use. What did everyone use? Did you like it? Did it feel useful and safe?

Also used huckleberry, didn't find it until after the baby was here but in my sleep addled state it seemed to be decenly private. Syncs well across iPhone/android too.

Well I think I'll try it out. As long as you aren't getting tons of weird ads now it would be fine

They have their own ads that you are forced to see, but if you don't mind the routine of exiting out or buying the subscription it's fine. We put a generic baby name, a fake birthday, used a spam email etc. and we never bought any of the stuff they were trying to sell. I recommend trying it because it was pretty user friendly and you could modify the tasks very easily.

I would also check out contraction timers or something for you to track them. It was super nice to have when riding to the hospital and before getting hooked up to all the monitors.

And hey! Congrats to the future parents!

This is a great idea. Do you have a specific one? I see one on The Bump website. I assume that is super simple to use and find one
