Huckleberry App

i used this app with my first and it made me sooo anxious i ended up deleting it! you know baby best xx

I’m the total opposite, baby gets fussy 10 minutes before her nap is ‘due’ You don’t have to use the recommended sleep times. I think you can turn it off. Or just don’t track it

I don't track sleep as I'm of the opinion she'll sleep when tired and I'm not gonna force her to sleep.

My son is 12 weeks today and I couldn't tell you when he sleeps. We just go with the flow.

We’ve never really paid attention to wake windows because my first baby could stay awake way longer than recommended and be perfectly happy. All babies are so different I think the one size fits all mentality of these apps can stress you out needlessly.

I have the app to keep myself aware of when he's next due a nappy change/feed but do not subscribe to access the nap times at all as they would be completely wrong and didn't seem to go based on when he last woke up. He'd have slept for 4 hours straight, just woken up and been telling me he needed to go down for a nap in 10 mins. It's a great app for keeping track of things, but regarding that I took no notice when they offered a free trial of it at all.

I only use the app to log when I feed her cause I won't remember. Especially because she's breastfed 😅 she's became extremely constipated so using it to track dirty nappies to tell the doctor as much information as I can. Never tracked sleep on it, we have zero routine so no point depending on it.

I use the sweet spot and I've noticed it to be pretty spot on for when he is due a nap and usually get him down within the window. I don't blindly follow it but as the app is adaptative it is useful. My LB is 12weeks.

I was nice just getting ideas because some times I never knew which time to put them down. But i definitely also just watch my child to see what worked. And it’s nice just to log stuff so I wouldn’t forget.

It’s actually been super accurate for us surprisingly . I usually put him down 10 minutes before up to 10 minutes after. I still swaddle him but today did it without one

It won't work for all babies. I put mine down about 20 mins before the sweet spot and shes usually asleep on time. But there are times where she's sleepier way earlier. It's usually good but you need to just trust your instincts and follow cues. I found a mix of both great! Im huge fan of getting her to sleep when she showing cues as she much less grumpy (again this is specific to my child not all babies). It works for us but don't worry if it doesn't for you!

Honestly get rid of the app. The world survived much better before everything had to be tracked. We live very much by a wing it and take their lead mantra. My 4yo has never had a strict routine. She naturally goes to bed and wakes up around the same time but not following the set nap schedule made her so much more amenable to day changes such as groups at different times, visiting family, lunch with friends etc. We’re very much doing the same with our twins and it’s paying off so far. Also bear in mind not all babies nap for extended periods. All 3 of mine have been cat nappers most naps are 30 minutes but they nap more frequently

We found in the beginning it didn’t seem to work all that well and she’d be going down 20/30 mins either side but we’ve persevered and now apart from bedtime it’s pretty accurate. Good luck, I totally know what you mean about the pressure of it

We went with our little one’s routine the whole way through, we are now 3 months in and she sleeps from 10pm till 8am every night. We go with whatever she needs in the moment, she normally wakes up has a feed, plays for 2 hours then gets tired, has an hour/2 hour nap, then wakes up, feeds repeat. She varies between 30/40 minute naps from 12 onwards till about 5/6pm xx

I think as sometimes who tracks, plans and controls everything. I love the huckleberry app. BUT, I don’t have the sweet spot on. I just use it to input when she last fed, when she woke from her nap etc
