Average and some info is wrong
The app is okay, however encouraging to offer water between 6-12 weeks goes against any and all recommendations. Water shouldn’t be provided to any babies under 6 months. Some of the advice is outdated and can be quite dangerous.
Game Changer
This app and book gave us the confidence to understand our babies cues and guidance to form a routine that worked for our family. The best parenting aide you can buy! It helps you understand awake times, feeding and sleep and how they all work together. This was our biggest support, cannot praise enough! Thank you

Brilliant info, rubbish app
This app needs to be updated or at least severely discounted. The info itself is is so helpful and informative, but the user interface is clunky, doesn’t make a lot of sense, and sometimes doesn’t even work eg. I cannot tap into the box to type in child’s name or age so all the info has [BABY] and [he/she] where the autogenerated name/pronoun should be. White background grey text is difficult to read. Subheadings have info from other subheadings accidentally in the wrong spot. The “flowchart” isn’t actually a flowchart, just a swipe through guide which is somewhat helpful except a lot of the swipes have the same info repeated and I can’t tell if this is a malfunction or you are to repeat the same action 3-4 times before being given a new action. Typos in several places.
Overall super disappointing app that perhaps should be retired because it is tarnishing the otherwise brilliant WOT reputation :(

Amazing!
Just want to say the biggest Thankyou! Your bible and app have been a life raft through the cycle of storms and rainbows that is the fourth trimester. As first time parents with all our family stuck interstate with border closures, WotBaby has been a saving grace! Our boy has been following the WotBaby principles since 3 weeks old and is now 9 weeks old and sleeping through the night consistently for over 2 weeks!! I never thought this was possible at this age but our little man is self settling like a champion. Goes to bed at 8pm, dream feed at 10pm and then sleeps through til 7am!! He is a happy smiley boy all day long. He does have trouble settling for day naps still sometimes but we’re working on that together. Being consistent is the key and it does get easier. We saw improvements so quickly once bub was 6 weeks old. The flowchart on the app is so helpful for busy parents.
Thankyou! Thankyou! Thankyou!

An app that teaches you to leave your baby crying
A horrible app that teaches you to settle your baby by letting them cry and going back in every 5-10 mins. They don’t learn to settle- they learn you’re not coming. Do yourself a favour and research the damaging effects of using the cry it out method before proceeding with an app like this. Respond to your baby people!

Terribly outdated
Methods and in particular info around offering solids is dangerously outdated! Encourages rice cereals and discourages allergens, suggests starting BEFORE 6 months, etc. Some serious research and updates are needed here!
Controlled crying and sleep training in app form
I really regret purchasing this app, it just stressed me out more as a FTM as I wanted to comfort my baby. The app suggests controlled crying so young and can have a negative influence on breastfeeding as it suggests night feeds aren’t necessary way too young. Really outdated (and pretty dangerous) advice. I’m glad I deleted and went with my gut, responding to my baby.

Am I missing something?!
I bought this app in hopes that my little man for start sleeping longer over night. But are reading all over info for what seems like 1000 times I really don’t understand where all the information on how to get my baby to sleep is. There is a chart/diagram to follow for the cry it out method etc but that’s it...I feel like I’ve wasted $8

waste
If I could give half a star I would. Purchased this in desperate need of some assistance with my 7month old, only to see the app goes to 6 months of age only. Doubt I’ll get my money back. Deleting the app.
Dangerous
Out dated and dangerous advice about withholding feeds or trying to stretch feeds out and sleep training. Get with the times.
Awful App
Awful because:
• Poor customer support when my app didn’t update past 6 months.
• I’m not really sure why it’s an app rather than an info booklet, nothing interactive about it.
• Clumsy layout of stuff too.

Can you please change the colour of the font in the app it’s so hard to read
Great app, enjoying the content but really struggling to read the text because it’s light grey on a white background
Quick results
Still early days but I downloaded this at 2am whilst holding my 4month old as he appeared to be in the grips of a regression and couldn’t self settle. Within a day, our baby is already self settling within 20mins of putting him down using the techniques in the app. Stoked to see results so quickly!
Horrible CIO suggestions
Suggesting a parent allow their child cry for 3-5 mins and give a NEWBORN baby water instead of allowing them breastmilk when they need settling it’s horrendous. I would encourage the people behind this app to look at peer reviewed articles about CIO and the issues it causes for children and parents. Please don’t get this app!

Navigating terrible
I’m sure the info contained within is valuable but it is like a rabbit warren trying to find it. App is laid out shockingly and is really hard to find a cohesive view of where you are. They really need to look at the UX. Considering it cost $8 to purchase I expected much more.... and update it more regularly as the last update was 3 years ago?!?

Great App
Very useful , easy to understand
The only thing I would complain about is the font type and color of font is hard to read against the white back ground

Confusing
I found the app overall confusing to navigate. There definitely are some helpful tips and guides but it doesn’t flow in a way that assisted me to learn how to put my baby to sleep. Not really a helpful app with a newborn when bleary eyes and looking for easy guidance
Thank goodness
Worked first time after trying endless other methods. Surprisingly accurate and makes me excited that she is going to be able to sleep on her own from now on! And major difference is she sleeps deeply and isn’t waking during naps. So empowering for my sanity also!
Not worth the money!!!
I wouldn’t waste the money or data space on my phone. Not very helpful at all.
Clunky app and when you finally find information it says by the book to get more ... 👎🏻

100% Would Recommend!
We used the WOT Baby App as a resource from birth, however since I smugly had a happy, relaxed baby who was a ‘champion sleeper’ I only really used as a loose guide to baby development.
Life happens and you do what you can to settle your baby (feeding, rocking, walks..). It wasn’t until the special type of hell that is 4-month sleep regression came along that we fully committed to forming positive sleep habits and using Jen’s recommendations on sleep, settling and resettling. Nothing smug about waking every hour on the hour all night for 3 weeks...
We saw results from day one, and within a week have a 5mo who can self settle and sleeps through. I thoroughly recommend, and thank you so much Jen!
