Itzbeen Baby Care Timer - Green

Itzbeen Baby Care Timer - Green

Loved it till it broke

I absolutely love this item. Well that is till it fell off the back of the couch and broke. It fell three feet and now it's dead. I loved it while it worked though. It was so useful to help me keep track of when I fed my newborn and when I took my pain meds and my newborn was in ICU for a few days so I was pumping and it helped me keep track of when I did that too. I am thinking about ordering another one just because of how much it helped me. But not sure if I want to spend the money again if it is so fragile that any kind of bump will break it.

Defective from the get go

I hoped to use this thing as soon as I came back from the hospital, so three days before my due date I got it out and tried to make sense how it works only to discover that any time I pressed the second button (the feeding button) the whole thing gets reset and blanks out. Taking the batteries out and placing them back again restarts the thing till the next time you press the same button. Well, given all time constraints and all you need to do with a newborn who has time to bother with mailing to factory and getting replacement, etc. I wish there was some option to exchange at Babies'r'us or some similar deal but alas -- I am stuck with a defective $25 + item. I do use it and make do using the extra star button as a feeding button, but I quite frankly am annoyed this has to happen -- a simple timer should not be acting up so early on -- not when it is priced as a minor mp3 player. Either save your money or order well in advance,try using it and take replacement steps before your baby arrives.

Not just for babies...

We have this to use when our little girl finally arrives, but I started having contractions during week 32 and used this to time the legnth and time in between. It was really helpful to have the multiple timers going. Ended up having to go to the hospital to stop the contractions, but now I carry in my purse just in case they come back. It was a life saver!

Good for "schedule" the baby

i had my son on feeding schedule every 4 hours since he was born and i did the same when my daughter arrived 3 weeks ago. with the itzbeen timer is easier for me to remember when it's time and when it's not, having so much to do in the house and with her big brother who keeps my hands full. it's a good help and yes, very nice baby shower gift.

Must have for 1st time parents!

We got this as a gift and LOVE it. As new (first time) parents, it just gives you a few less things to think about. So helpful if your pediatrician is (like ours) adament that your baby eats every 2-3 hours (no more, no less). When our daughter is fussy, we can take a quick look at the timer for our first guess about what she needs. 99% of the time, the timer is right!! Get this and the book "Healthy Sleep Habits, Healthy Child" and "Happiest Baby on the Block" for new parents. All genius.
