Hatch Baby Grow Smart Changing Pad and Scale

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...

UPDATE: Costumer service reached out to me and we are getting a refund! I am very impressed that they want to make it right. I upgraded my review from a 1 star because of their efforts. THANK YOU! This scale was not accurate for us. If I was not so crazy with a newborn, I would have reached out the company early and tried to figure out the issue. The free app is the best part for tracking babies diapers and feedings.

I bought this product because I am still recovering from labor and am unable to leave the house to do a weighted feed anywhere. My baby lost a bit too much weight between birth and the first pediatrician visit. I wanted to be sure she was eating enough and gaining enough weight between that visit and her one month visit. We had our one month visit today, and her weight is very consistent with what this scale has been showing. The consistent weights along with the weighted feeds works great. I was happily surprised that the scale locks on easily to the baby when shes wiggling. The weighted feed also appears to be accurate; I have done it several times over the last few days and it shows a range consistent with how long my baby is feeding and her weight/what she should be eating for her age. Considering this duals as a changing pad, I wish Id have bought this before buying a changing pad. As a scale alone, it does a great job. I will echo what others have mentioned on the cons side that opening the app can be annoying when you have a crying baby, but Im not sure what solution there is to that since the app also lets you log diapers, pumping, feeding, etc. Its a great app. It also does round to the .25 oz, which is fine for my baby because she wasnt a premie, but may not work for people who need more accurate amounts.

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.

I wish I had known about this changing pad a year ago. My granddaughter had a difficult first year and was in and out of the hospital. Her parents and doctors were very concerned about and carefully monitored her weight and fluid intake. This would have been so helpful to her parents -- who waited anxiously for her doctors appointments to monitor her growth. I bought this, but the baby is now over a hear old and too wiggly to get accurate readings. The pad itself is very comfortable and easily cleaned, but it would be more appropriate and useful for younger babies (which is why I gave it only 4 stars). Also, you need to be sure you have space in your phone because an app needs to be installed to use the weighing scale feature.

Works 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.

The grow is great. Its very helpful being able to measure our babys intake when breast feeding and also keep up on his weight between doctor visits. Its also a great value as a changing table. Its around the same price as the peanut yet you get all of the scale features as well -- a definite buy! Theres no real cons to this from my view -- I guess it could be more sensitive (measures to nearest .25 oz), but if you look at just the plain baby scales on amazon, most of them only go to the .5 oz, so I dont really view this as a negative given that I dont see any better competitors in the market.

I could not have been more disappointed in this scale! I wanted to love it and felt it was worth the expense IF it did what it promised, but when I discovered how INACCURATE it was, I returned it. On three occasions we weighed our newborn son on this scale, then went right to the pediatricians office where he was weighed, in the same diaper. This scale was off every time by 6-7 ounces. Also, doing the feed and weigh, it told me my son only fed 0.75 oz, so I supplemented more breastmilk with a bottle. Then he threw up what I had just bottle fed him, so I weighed him again and it said he had gained 3.5 oz.. I can weigh my son five times in a row and get varying weights by more than 3 ounces. If your baby has the correct amount of wet/solid diapers, then you dont need to be crazy weighing them daily or at every feeding. Our son dropped more than 12% in weight after birth because breastfeeding wasnt working out immediately and this scale still didnt help accurately weigh him. We had to use common sense to see he was getting dehydrated and needed emergency supplementation, despite what this scale said. Having such an inaccurate scale made us worry more than we should and I feel it is not safe to rely upon in the care of a newborn for any valid measurement.

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

As a new mom with a baby who struggled with breastfeeding and gaining weight, this product gave us so much peace of mind to know that she was continuing to grow. The changing pad is sleek and easy to clean. The Hatch app is wonderfully easy to use with so many great features to track feedings, sleep, diapers, etc. As a first time mom, I couldn’t recommend this product more!
