Baby weight monitoring
with Le Baby
Weight monitoring is an important aspect of a newborn’s parent life: they will be free from the maternity hospital when their baby gains and reaches a given weight. Le Baby makes it very easy to continue keeping track of weight if parents wish to do so. It provides a very simple input screen which will display the weight difference from the last record. And of course, a weight chart shows the evolution of records over time, along with percentile references from World Health Organisation.
Benefits of using Le Baby as a weight tracker
Efficient. As for all other type of entries, growth record can be done in a matter of seconds with practical and beautiful custom sliders.
Use it with one hand. By placing most buttons in the bottom part of the screen, and by letting users open the menu by pulling the journal down, we made sure parents could record growth values with just one free hand. Editing time is also possible using the thumb with our custom component replacing the native vertical wheels which can be cumbersome to use sometimes.
Shared. With journal sharing over iCloud, both parents get the update on their device as soon as it’s added. This happens using iCloud, so it’s easy to set up and completely private. You won’t receive vitamin drops spams by using Le Baby.
Switch from metric to imperial at will. This is pretty niche but still: you can switch from using metric to US imperial units from the entry screen. This will be handy for traveling or bi-national couples.
Weight recording screen. It displays the weight difference from the last record just below the new weight value. Tapping the value switches from kilograms to the US imperial pounds.
Weight chart, with WHO percentiles. You can ,instantly export an image of the chart from the app and share it, using the little frame icon in the middle.
What are percentiles?
They let you know how you baby compares to most babies on earth. If your baby’s weight is inside the 70 percentile range, it means that your baby’s weight is comparable to 70 babies out of 100 of the same age. If your baby’s weight is above the 94 percentile range, it means that there are only 3 babies (100 minus 94, divided by 2 because we’re only looking at the ones above) out of a 100 who have a similar weight at the same age.
