> 3 dayLove love love this product! It saved us a follow up trip to a lactation consultant. As a first time, breastfeeding mom this changing pad gives me the information I need to know to monitor my babys weight gain at a frequency Im comfortable with - no more waiting months for the next doctors appointment! It also allows me to assess my activity and dietary choices to ensure my milk production is not negatively impacted. The pad fits well on a standard dresser top and Ive got not complaints in the look department. The pad is sleek and clean, also cleanups are quick and easy! The app is also super useful and straight forward to use. I can throw away all my diaper & feeding journal sheets of paper :D I just wish I had this from day 1 when I brought my baby home!

> 3 dayExcellent and accurate scale that gives me huge peace of mind as to whether my baby is getting enough at each feeding. I previously bought (and have since returned) the $50 amazons choice scale which had different readings even within a few minutes and was unreliable. This scale works! You can either simply record weight or start/calculate a specific feeding, which is super helpful. It then will chart weight over time against percentiles. You can also track sleep, diapers in the app. The scale itself doesnt have a display on it so you must use the app to read the scale, FYI. Overall a great product!!!

> 3 dayWorks great to calculate my preemies feedings. I was concerned he wasnt getting enough, and this helped me knpw what to give him in breastmilk bottle after feedings! It is accurate to within 0.25. I have tried it witk numerous household items to confirm it is registering close. Only reason I gave it 4 stars is that I have forgotten my phone more than a handful of times when I have taken my boy to change/weigh him. This scale will ONLY work and document weights if you have device (phone/tablet) to select option and initiate scale. There is no display for the weight on the scale, only on the app. He is a fussy baby already with diaper changes, so I dont like having to take longer than needed to feed him by getting phone again etc. I am going to set up my iPad and leave It next to scale. Only one device can be connected at once, but multiple devices can be logged in to see saved data. It is easy to zero out to include blanket to keep scale more warm for baby. It is super soft, but tends to get cool for my baby. Highly recommend still.

> 3 dayWhat a great product! Began using right away and noticed some inconsistencies so I emailed customer support. And lo and behold, it was because I set it up incorrectly! Since it’s such a precise scale if it’s touching the sides of the changing table it will record that as part of my babies weight, who would’ve known?! You guys, this product is so great! Not to mention it’s sold by a company that stands behind it 100%. I’ll be buying one for baby shower gifts from now on. The fact that you can easily weigh your baby on the same surface as changing them is perfect! Don’t get me started on measuring breast-feedings because WOW!! No more worries about how much my baby is eating. Buy one, it’s worth it!

> 3 dayOverall this is really nice scale, which we use as our primary changing pad in our nursery. The quality is top-notch, in particular the ability to easily clean it, and the integration with the hatch baby app is nice. We used this on a daily basis to track our sons weight gain until he was back up to birth weight, and having the scale integrated into the changing pad meant we could weigh him as we were changing his diapers, rather than having to do it separately. The accuracy also seems quite good, with weights being in line with what we get at the doctors office, plus or minus a quarter ounce. My one complaint is that it nails the advanced scenarios but falls short on a basic one: theres no read out of the weight on the device, which means you need to connect your phone or tablet via bluetooth in order to get the readout, and sometimes you just dont have that many hands. On the whole, though, its great.

> 3 daySo yes, the scale is wonderful, easy to use ... a bit weird in that it does not have a display like most scales, and you have to zero nearly each time you use it. BUT ... I can overlook those items easily, since they would be costly and likely unnecessary, and most significantly, because the Hatch Baby app is so terrific! You can log a diaper type, WET or DIRTY, a feeding (bottle or breast, start and end times, amount down to the decimal point of ounces, and any special notes), sleep time complete with sleep timer, and so much more. This app frankly blows my mind ... its so intuitive and easy to use, even my babys grandma can do it :) If you like the scale, thats great, I do too ... but the app, with its Alexa command set and easy of use for recording and sharing a TON of details you might need for your doctor or other caregivers, is the real reason to buy this scale. Of course, you can get the app without the scale, so theres that ... but combined, its a great deal and one every new parent should consider.

> 3 dayAbsolutely love this changing table, It’s the best! The app is easy to use and customizable and the battery life on the actual changing table is great too! The only reason I gave it a 4 star and not 5 is because I wish it was bigger. It’s really only good for newborns and small babies, not toddlers.

Greater than one weekI had my last child 5 years ago. At that time, she had trouble eating and after not gaining weight sufficiently, I had to lug her to a local center to be weighed every couple days. This go, its such a comfort to be able to track weight directly from home. On top of the convenience factor, its also just a better changing pad. The shape and curve seems more comfortable. The wipeable surface is awesome – I hated having to throw gross fabric covers in the wash again and again, and having to make sure I always had an extra one in case of accident. And it just plain looks nice – both the pad itself and the well designed app. 100% recommend for anyone!

> 3 dayThis scale is nice to have to track a babys weight. Honestly, after about 2 weeks youre probably going to forget/not care anymore about regularly tracking weight. The app is pretty good. You have to randomly zero out the scale about half the time, but not the other half which is annoying. You can calculate how much a baby eats by weighing before and after a feeding, but again, half the time the app glitches and erases the initial weight. The changing pad itself is cold and slick. My baby spends the whole diaper change in a moro position with arms and legs outstretched, rocking back and forth and sliding around way more than on any other type of surface. The contours arent very high so without the little belt to hold him down (which falls off the scale way too easily), he seems very at risk of rolling himself off. Hes only 3w old so when hes actually able to move around even more, I cant imagine how easily he could roll himself off. But that kinda slick material is easy to clean, so theres your trade-off.

> 3 dayOur baby was born 5lbs full-term so we constantly stress about if he’s gaining weight. With breastfeeding there is no way to know exactly how much he was feeding so we wanted a scale to help guide us. The Hatch has been perfect for this. I can’t speak to how precise it is (I didn’t place a scientifically measured weight on it to see what it said) but I will say based on the weights at the doctors office it’s very good. It is great for consistency... pre- and post- feed weighs and showing over the course of a week or few days the progress the little guy is making. What’s even better is the app. It is necessary to use the scale (there is no screen that shows the weight). But it records the weights, feed time/amounts, diapers, timing and duration of feeds, sleep, pumping schedule, etc. You can enter data manually or hit the start button and have the app record it for you. There is a dashboard that keeps the info readily available so you know when the next feed will be.
