 Love this product! November 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I thought I was buying this for my husband. I figured he'd need the help. Little did I know I'd use it all day everyday! I had no idea what I was missing by not having one with my first daughter. I use it not only to time her feedings and diaper changes but also to know when it's time to pump. The nightlight is helpful in getting her latched on in the dark, especially when I'm half asleep. I love that it lets you designate which side you need to feed on next time. This is helpful even if you're not breastfeeding because it's important to hold the baby on both sides to promote good eye control. It is especially useful when we are out. This is one product I couldn't do without.
 Much used November 4, 2008

This came in very handy when our baby was new. It made it easier to remember how long he had been sleeping, when the last bottle was, etc. We also used it to remember how long it had been since we gave him medication, and while he was in the hospital to see how long it had been since he had been checked and things like that.
My one complaint would be that it doesn't have more than the last time stored, however, if you have it only to time one thing, see my comment below.
Also, the time reverts to zero after 24 hours, so don't try to time anything lengthy.
I have started to use it a lot for breast pumping, and work my way down from the top button to see a running log of when I have last pumped. Then besides seeing that it's been four hours, I can see that the time before that was five hours, for example.
The backlight is nice for dark rooms, and the flashlight in the top has come in handy. The nursing button is just a sliding tab, which I didn't find handy, since my lactation consultants said to nurse from both breasts so they don't get different sizes (and I'd pump afterwards anyway).
The alarm function was used a couple times, but can only be set in half-hour increments, so it wasn't always that useable for what we were using it for.
Keep the instructions for clock setting, because if you don't remember how to, weird things happen when you press multiple buttons at once (resetting a different button's time, resetting all buttons, alarm setting...).
A good investment, but the reason that we still use it is for something slightly different than what it was originally intended for. Very handy for the first few weeks. After that, the baby wakes himself up when he's hungry, hopefully he's not in the hospital, the diaper gets changed when you pinch the front and it's squishy, and you've figured out your own code for what side you nursed from last. Really great though, once again, for a running timer of one thing, when you don't need it to get through the first few days/weeks. My husband loved it. It made him feel more in control with a new baby.
We LOVE this timer! October 29, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
We have two older children. I remember how absent minded I was after each of them were born. I couldn't remember anything for months! So, with number three (born 10/9/08) I wanted this timer. We LOVE it! With the first two children I couldn't remember which breast I had last fed on, when they ate, when they were last changed or when I took my medications. We had lists for everything. Not with our third child! I purchased the timer and took it to the hospital with me. We starting using it from day one, within hours of our daughter's birth.
I used the last optional timer (not assigned to anything specific, has a star on the button) for timing pain medication after my c-section. I used the sleep timer for my Ibuprofen timer. I didn't need to know how long my newborn had slept, but more importantly when she fed and when she was last changed (so we could count diapers to know she was getting enough to eat). I love the alarm! You can turn it on or off for each button, as needed. It has a clip to attach it to yourself or your diaper bag. When your hands are full, it's very helpful. Finally, there's the little flash light. It's not really bright but I've been able to use it to accomplish whatever task I'm trying to do in the dark. Someone put a lot of thought into this product. I don't think it's missing anything! Twenty days later, we're still using it. A little differently, but we're using it. Now that I'm feeling better physically and busy again with normal life activities, I'm still very absent minded and use it to stay on track and keeping our baby on a schedule. Itzbeen timer is a must for everyone having a new baby!
 Crappy LCD October 28, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I don't know how practical is this product, but I received mine today and the LCD is not working on the superior area (Diaper change alarm).
I cannot return it, as I live outside US and the shipping cost is to big to bother.
 Good Idea - Several Design Flaws October 21, 2008
I was excited to receive my Itzbeen baby care timer at my baby shower. I had read the reviews and was convinced it would be very useful. Well, it is about as useful as 4 stopwatches. It does not carry any memory for previous entries so it does not replace a log like it says in the descripton. Also, my Itzbeen would lose all data once a day or so. I returned it to Amazon and am waiting for my refund for a defective product.
