Latest update is buggy

Most recent update has totally wrecked the app. Detailed feed timer no longer works and instead of saving your times when it’s paused, it randomly resets itself to 20/30 seconds. Very annoying and bug report submitted a week ago with no fix available on the App Store yet. Constant surveys when you open the app is annoying when you’re trying to quickly check information and the nappy tracking feature has been ‘coming soon’ for months and months; at this rate it would be better to get rid of that tile since it looks like it’s never coming. The app was useful for timing feeds and sleep but now the detailed feed timer is so buggy I’m not sure how long I’ll continue using it.

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to review the app, sorry to hear you haven't had a good experience with the latest version. We did have some issues with the new release, in particular with the tracker, as a result of some changes from Apple that impacted us - I'm very sorry for that. We have since resolved these issues - if you restart / open the app fresh you will have the latest version available (these changes didn't need a new update from Apple). We hear you on the surveys - the daily checkin can be skipped and we now only show it between 9-5. The 7 day reoccurring survey can now also be skipped should you want to - these surveys are in place to ensure we monitor the health and wellbeing of the parent and baby to provide targeted help. We have designed up the nappy tracking and it is ready to go into development - we have just been having a difficult time prioritising it over other features / tasks - we have a small team so it is a challenge. I'm more than happy to share with you how the feature will work and let you know as soon as it is ready if you want to - just send over your details to hello@sleepwellbaby.io and I'd be happy to share :) Thanks again for reaching out to let us know your experience - regardless of whether or not you continue to use the app, best of luck to you and your little one! Kind Regards, Daniel - CTO

Simple and easy to make appt to talk to nurse

Downloaded this months ago but didn’t really use it. Got it again last week as sleep was still terrible and I stumbled on the feature to make an appt to have video chat with a tresillian nurse - I booked this at 2am for 11am the next day! Was great to be able to do it when I was concerned. Super easy and the technology was easy. The advice from the nurse (Meredith) was simple, thoughtful and non-judgemental and I’ve been using the app to track sleep since, which has been handy.
Great app.

Life saver!

This app has been a life saver! I’ve been struggling with my baby’s sleep for months because I refuse to do control crying. This app has helped get us into a routine that works for us all using the daily zones. It helps you spot your baby’s natural sleep patterns & has super simple tracking so you can see progress over time. Highly recommend especially for mums who don’t like control crying or waking up their babies which some programs ask you to do!

Hi Milly, thanks so much for the feedback which is very much appreciated! Great news that you're seeing results! Our sleep and settling program powered by Tresillian is an excellent option for people who are looking for a more gentle, responsive approach. We hope you continue to see great results.

Simple, helpful and great features

Highly recommend to any parent dealing with frequent wakings. Simple to use and self care features like rating how your progressing as a parent / caregiver each day is an absolute win and unique to other apps. Day 7 and we’ve finally got my Daughter whos been co-sleeping with us (since 5 months) to finally transition into her cot. Still some way to go but a great way to start moving in that direction. There were a couple of times the app froze and I had to open and close. Often when the timer was on and found it difficult making notes at the bottom for the night sleep but no other issues. A job well done!

Not worth the money

Heard this app would help me sort out my baby’s sleeping issues. Minimum sign on is 3 months but it was fairly cheap so I thought I’d give it a go. After handing over payment details I realised that it is just another tracking app that I could have downloaded for free. There are government websites with articles on how to settle babies which are more helpful than this app. Also it’s not overly user friendly.
I now can’t cancel my membership because I haven’t met the minimum subscription period, therefor for the next two months I’ll be paying for an app I don’t use. A free trial period should be offered so other people do t get stuck paying for something that isn’t helpful to them.

Just try! You won’t regret this app

Simple to use and navigate, this app gave me an idea what my 5 weeks old should be doing at different time of day and night. Things like how long he should be sleeping for and how long I should be playing with him so I don’t overstimulate my Bub. If you like to read it also include some useful information. And what I use most are progress charts, lullabies and white noise. Tracking of feeding and sleeping is much easier compared to other apps. Just try it!

DO NOT BUY THIS APP

To all the poor mums out there having sleeping issues, do not waste your maternity leave pay on buying this overpriced app. It is essentially a sleep and feed tracking app with information and factsheets that are widely available everywhere. There are no “pearls of wisdom” here. This app has increased my anxiety and frankly we are in a worse off position. I was lucky enough to use this app for free because I live in NSW, for all other states you still have to pay and it’s absolutely terrible value for money. There are other sleep and feed tracking apps out there which I would recommend trialling first. Extremely disappointed in Tresilian after using this app.

Fantastic

Highly recommend this app to anyone who is having difficulties with sleep, both baby and mother.

My first born was a shocker and wish I had of done something sooner. He is almost 5 and has now only started sleeping in his own bed.
My now 14mth old was waking numerous times through the night and didn’t want another 4 years of no sleep. So went straight to the experts. It only took about 3-4 nights and she is now sleeping through the night. Routine is the key!

Definitely helped

Before downloading this app I was feeding my 6 month old way too often and had no idea about the ideal number of sleep cycles, feeds, awake times to aim for each day. Although my baby still wakes often through the night I have seen a big improvement in his day sleeps (so I’m hoping night sleep isn’t too far away). The app is easy to use and really is like having a professional in your pocket.

So helpful

I have been struggling to settle my baby and understand his ‘routine’. I have been using this app to track his normal/natural feeding (demand fed) and sleeping to draw pattens in the progress section. This has allowed me to observe his natural routine and progressively move him onto a daily routine to reflect what he would do naturally. The settling techniques are a goal for me and I’m trying to get there gently which is encouraged. If you are looking for something to guide you without being strict and the ability to track your babies sleep and feeding this app is great.
