Hatch Baby Grow Smart Changing Pad and Scale

I LOVE this scale and if it weren’t for a couple issues I would give it 5 stars. It worked perfect for months then started having issues with getting accurate weights. Customer service said they were fine but there’s no way she lost two pounds in a day. Sometimes it works perfect sometimes it gives me crazy different readings back to back. Maybe it’s becuase she’s older now? The other thing I would love to see changed is if you could designate breastfed or not and use the WHO charts for breastfed babies if applicable. That would really make the app perfect. I love that I can monitor her intake, monitor loss when she’s sick and automatically plot her growth curve. My doc even loves it!

With my first child we had issues with weight gain in their early months. It resulted in many doctor visits to ensure they was steadily gaining. With our second child I wanted to prevent the need to get a newborn out simply for a weigh-in to ensure they were gaining. This product has provided me so much piece of mind in addition to convenience. Its also very accurate- my childs weight only differed an ounce from the doctors scale when used the same day. The scale is easy to use and the corresponding Hatch app that tracks feedings, diapers, and weigh-ins is very helpful. Worth the money!

LOVE. I bought this with the sole purpose of weighing my baby before and after nursing to see how much he was eating and it does an impeccable job. I was on the fence because I thought it was ridiculous to pay so much for a scale that I didn’t “need” and was more for peace of mind but I am SO glad I splurged and got this scale. The peace of mind is worth every penny of always knowing if he is eating enough. 4 stars because it is pretty hard and cold (but lightweight which is nice) so we keep a blanket on top of it so he is more comfortable during changes/weighing but the scale will 0 out with the blanket on there just fine. Just make sure not even a tiny corner of the blanket is touching the table surface and is 100% only on the pad because the scale is THAT sensitive which is great! Absolutely would recommend!

Editing my review to say that the team at Hatch is amazing. They offered a replacement without requiring me to ship back the broken one. Thank you! Original review: I keep getting an error message every time I try to set up the scale. When I contacted support they told me it’s damaged. I haven’t done anything rough with it so it must have arrived that way. Now I have to go through the hassle of returning it…not something anyone with a newborn wants to deal with. Avoid this product!

I bought this right before I had my son a few months ago and am SO happy I did, even though it was a bit more expensive than a normal changing pad: -looove that I can just wipe it off when things get messy. I have enough laundry to clean lol so its nice not to have to also wash a changing pad cover -hes an eating champ now but it was really reassuring the first month when i had no idea what I was doing and I could see how much he was eating when breastfeeding -Its wonderful not to have to pack him up to head to the docs office if I want to see how much he weighs. I like that I can see all of his weight charted out in the app graph -the color works perfectly in my baby boys room but neutral enough if we ever had a girl! :) Highly recommend to any new parents out there. The first month can be so overwhelming and having this really gave me the confidence that my baby was eating and gaining enough! One less thing to worry about...

Even without the scale feature, this is an awesome changing pad. It is not cloth or absorbent in any way which is awesome since my little boy pees frequently during diaper changes. So easy to clean and wipe down. The weighing feature is awesome, helped guide my feedings to make sure my little guy was gaining weight properly. The app also has ability to track feedings, diapers, sleep which I found helpful. It’s definitely pricey, but not having to change covers is amazing

I had rented a hospital grade scale for one month and it cost $75. So when I heard of the hatch grow scale I jumped on purchasing it. My LO has struggled with putting on weight and i was having to go to the pediatrician for biwkly weight checks. So when he finally put on enough weight I was allowed to stop the visits but I still wanted to make sure I was feeding him enough during each nursing session. The scale has SO many amazing features. You can do pre and post feed weights. Height, diaper output, sleep schedules and add in pump sessions along with nursing times. It’s seriouskt amazing and since having it I’ve been able to gauge his milk transfer amounts so accurately that I can add in a bottle of pumped milk if I don’t think he’s gotten enough during the day. I highly recommend it.

We mostly loved this scale, while it worked. The bluetooth was a little finicky and it was sometimes hard to get an accurate reading with a squirmy infant, but overall no major complaints. But the scale completely stopped working in 2 years, which is a huge blow for something that costs $150. Customer support sent a bunch of troubleshooting tips, which actually required that I purchase SPECIFIC BATTERIES, specifically saying Weve found that some batteries have even the slightest difference in diameter which doesnt allow for a secure connection to the battery coils. This is absolutely absurd for such an expensive item. And when I bought the specific batteries they recommended, it still didnt work. After the troubleshooting tips failed, the customer support rep said that they wouldnt replace the item since it was out of the 1-year warranty and instead offered a 15% discount on a brand new item. What a joke. I have absolutely NO desire to purchase another expensive premium scale that is going to break again in 2 years. Ill note that we also had issues with our Hatch Rest breaking in 2 years. For some reason, customer support agreed to replace this item even though it was out of the 1-year warranty. But this lack of quality control feels too frequent to support the price tag of Hatch items. Ill note that our family takes great care in our items and the breakage was absolutely not due to neglect or misuse. My family wont be purchasing Hatch items again.

This product is great until about 3-4 months in when the little feet start popping off with normal use. I have 3 kids and after our second I wanted a white wipe clean changing pad for obvious reasons. The wipe clean factor of this changing pad is exactly what I wanted. But now here I am 6-8 months in and 2 feet have come off and so the pad wobbles back and forth which is very annoying. The scale won’t work because now the feet are missing. Then one of the strap pieces broke off right when my youngest needs to be strapped in regularly because she likes to flip all over the place when she’s being changed. I feel like this is now a safety issue. The straps shouldn’t be able to break off like this. Yes you should always be watching your child on the changing pad, but now I have no way of keeping her from flipping over as I try to change her diaper. I’m very disappointed that for the price this changing pad didn’t last more than a few months.

My hatch broke and the company replaced it. Now it ha broken again and they said they cannot replace it because it is the same issue. Apparently the weighing mechanism is very sensitive. I have a baby with special feeding needs and need a reliable scale….as cute as it is and as nice as it seems…this just isn’t a durable product. Turns out it’s just a Very expensive changing table.
