Medela Family - Breast Feeding App Reviews

This is my first child and I absolutely love using this app to keep track of his feedings and diapers and definitely enjoy the useful tips

Helps so much with the first few weeks !!

I really do like the app. However it could be a little more personalized. My baby was born 15 weeks early and is currently in the NICU. So although I am exclusively pumping the app continues to ask for the number of diapers my baby is producing and telling me to see a physician. Its kind of frustrating. On another note the help has helped me tremendously with keeping up with how much Ive pumped and when. Since I dont have a baby here to nurse its a life saver.

This app helps me keep track of everything! However, when it comes to tracking ounces, I wish it included halves. I use the metric system which allows me to record every single milliliter.

I love this app to track my pumping times! Its great to see weekly stats. Im a mom of multiples and the only thing I dont like is that its somewhat difficult to switch between children! I also wish that I could receive a push notification every couple hours to remind to pump!

This app keeps everything together in one app and is easy to use. Wonderful tool for NICU moms.

I love that I can track feedings, diapers, sleep, height and weight all in one spot. It provides some articles for mom to read and helps me stay on track of how many feedings in a day, which side and for how long.

I love the fact that it stores my frozen milk. I can go back and see daily or weekly totals! You can track trends with daily and weekly breastfeeding sessions as well. Its very easy to use app, even when breastfeeding. There are relevant articles as you continue breastfeeding, which is really nice for moms. They also send you age appropriate reminders for the day on feeding trends. Aside from breastfeeding and pumping tracking, this app records height, weight, sleeping, and diapers. Overall, great app!

I love this app. It does exactly what I need it to do, and it has been such a valuable tool for breastfeeding/pumping. There are some bugs that need to be fixed. About half the time the app takes forever to load, which can be frustrating when you have a hungry baby screaming and you need to remember what side youre on. Sometimes it logs you out completely and you have to enter your credentials with a screaming baby waiting to eat. Other than those glitches, this app is great.

This app is simple and easy to use. However the timer function for breastfeeding doesnt work properly. Sometimes when the phone display sleeps it seems like the timer stops running. For example, I know I started feeding 20 minutes ago but the timer currently says 14 minutes. Also the start time for feedings changes randomly when you go to save the feeding. This makes it hard to rely on the data on how often my baby is eating.

Ive been using this app for 8 months... This new update wiped ALL of my data. Says my baby is 1 day old. And thats using my existing login... Awesome

The notifications dont work, which is a total bummer. I would love to get reminders from the app that its time to pump, and be able to set the time between sessions. The checklist cant be turned off, so once the baby is here there is no way to get rid of the hospital checklist. When the baby finally sleeps through the night, you are prompted to enter a missed feeding/pump session, which seems to encourage inexperienced mothers to feed or pump when unnecessary. There is no way to delete it. The articles arent all that interesting or helpful. I tired to send Medela feedback via the app, but I received an "undeliverable message" email each time.

Since this update this app has been glitchy. And now I cant even open it. Said my log in failed.

Ive been using this app exclusively for 12 weeks. All of a sudden today I cant even log in. If I delete the app to re download I will lose all my data. Not happy

This app logs me out over and over. I love this app if it would work!

I cant log in anymore - sends me a server validation error!! So frustrated since I track everything by this app and now it looks like I have to find a new one ! Please fix this!!!!

This app has quite a it of good, fast, straightforward tracking capability. I recommend it to all new moms who want to keep a general log of breastfeeding, pumping, bottles and diaper changes.

Ive been using this app for 5 months, now it wont even let me use it. I thought it was because my memory on my phone was too full, so I cleared my phone, did the phone update and the app update. When I click on it now, it just kicks me out. Maybe it just cant load all that data? Bummed, since I tracked everything and now I have to delete the app and use another one.

Just an all around great APP. It has helped me so much with keeping up with and keeping track of my pumping which was so hard having a preemie baby. If the bugs were fixed (taking too long to load some pages, having to sign in to the app sometimes) this app would get higher stars.

Used it for a little over a month and was great for tracking. New update ruined everything, cant even start the app now. Need to find new app asap.
