Yeah I think the sound bug was fixed in this update and I am really excited for the next update

By Ornella on Wednesday, April 27, 2016 - 02:46

I must say this was a long game. and I kept saving it and returning to it when I had time after every 24 hour checkpoint. My baby is 3 months 2 weeks. so far the game is going good. the only thing is that sometimes the app crashes and I have to do over everything I already started. So can't wait for the update and I like the playground. I just hope that we could get more things to do like take the baby for a ride and actually push the stroller in the park. So to the developer keep up the good work.

By Ornella on Wednesday, April 27, 2016 - 02:46

I was at the 4 month stage of my game yesterday. Today I didn't get a message that my games was over or anything. I just got an alert asking if I wanted to save and continue. and I did save and my baby is 4 months 1 week. When does the game end? I'm not sure if they changed anything to make the game longer. Thanks for any help.

love the new update. one question. when I'm taking care of my baby and I go in to one of the menus an add would just pop up and sometimes I can't get out of it because there's no close button for some of them. Thanks and keep up the good work

By treky fan on Friday, May 27, 2016 - 02:46

Hi! I love this new update! And the giggle the baby makes for both rattles is just so adorable!

By Ornella on Friday, May 27, 2016 - 02:46

wow I have to get that rattle. I didn't know the baby would giggle. lol

By flcomputergeek on Friday, May 27, 2016 - 02:46

Hi:
I like the new update. I don't see the ambulance option anywhere? Has anyone seen it? Or does it only come up if the baby gets sick?

By Ornella on Friday, May 27, 2016 - 02:46

that happens if the baby accidently gets burnt by the bottle and the cost is 50 credits for the ambulance or to start a new game if you don't want to pay

By Paige on Friday, May 27, 2016 - 02:46

Hi. I purchased the Rattle with heart for five credits, I used it once, and then my baby went to sleep. A few hours later I tried to use it again and it is now forcing me to buy it again. Why is it making me purchase the rattle again when I already got it?

By Ornella on Friday, May 27, 2016 - 02:46

come out of the game and then go back in. that used to happen to me with some of the clothing. It might work. The only thing I don't like is when I go in to the menus adds would pop up and the baby would be crying and sometimes its hard to get out.

By Paige on Friday, May 27, 2016 - 02:46

I tried getting out of it and even closing it from the app switcher and nothing works. Yes especially the video ads, it is really annoying because my baby will just be crying a video will pop up

By treky fan on Friday, May 27, 2016 - 02:46

While I don't get the video adds, I do get something that says, new features inside, play now, every time I open the app. I find this really agrivating because if my baby is crying, I can't take care of her unitl I get out of this dialog by pressing the ok or close button. Also, the rattle is syill acting like I haven't bought it when I have.

By Paige on Friday, May 27, 2016 - 02:46

Yes that is the rattle problem I was talking about, it is very frustrating. I also have the message that says new items inside and it is very very annoying. After every update it used to do that for about a day, and then it stopped, but it continues to do it now

By Ornella on Friday, May 27, 2016 - 02:46

That happens to me as well. but I didn't buy the rattle yet. I can't be ungreatful but this game needs a major update. Because 1. I still get kicked out and have to start over again.. 2. There's not much interaction with the baby. The only thing is that you could take the baby in your arms or kiss baby or give rattle. The baby still doesn't move. When I'm in the playground I can't massage the baby's tummy. An I was heating up the milk and the baby got burnt when I stopped it at hot. this never happened in a previous version so now when the water is normal then I stop it. An the ambulance is so expensive why is that? and over the past few months the clothing are so much credits. I mean if we have to listen to all those adds why can't we get some credits? I mean the company who developed this game are being paid when we view or listen to these adds. I am a little disappointed that we waited so long and just only got this. I have an idea. for when the baby is asleep they should put a mini game to play. it doesn't matter what. and by the points we get we buy milk, wipes, powder and diapers. This doesn't need money. So if you run out of stuff, while the baby is asleep you get something to do. Sorry for the long post.

By Paige on Friday, May 27, 2016 - 02:46

I like that idea but why not just earn credits by winning the minigame because wipes powder and milk already come with game and I think every time we watch a video and without pressing skip button we should get a credit

By Ornella on Friday, May 27, 2016 - 02:46

I know but they should have like a diaper count and the only way to not run out is to play a mini game. so we could get wipes and other things. This is just to do for when the baby is sleeping. We don't want to use money for diapers and stuff like that. you know like hatchi how we play the mini games get coins and buy food and different things. something along those lines.

By treky fan on Friday, May 27, 2016 - 02:46

I agree with both of you. I was expecting more from this update. I'm going to send them an email and see what I get.

By Paige on Friday, May 27, 2016 - 02:46

Maybe you could get credits and you could use them for diapers and food if you wanted or use them for clothes

By Ornella on Friday, May 27, 2016 - 02:46

the credits cost money. since the clothes and other stuff cost money. we just want a mini game have to play when the baby is asleep so we could get some kind of coins to buy diapers milk powder and wipes and maybe other stuff in the future. They should make one of the menus a baby store and you could hear the background noises and with the coins you have you choose what you want cash for it and go back to the game menu. Also for all the dirty diapers you could like take out the trash wash baby's clothing and I'm surprised that there aren't any teddy-bears of stuffed bunny. Babies love them. and they should put a teether- ring for the baby to chew on.

Hi. I like the new lake location, and the new rattle. Like some of you, I have experienced the bug where the game forgets that I bought the rattle. I had to buy it about 6 times in the four days I managed to keep my baby alive last week. Restoring purchases and removing the app from the app switcher didn't solve it. I also have the bug where the new features screen pops up every day at least once. For those that are having trouble with the ads, there is an option in the shop to pay to remove them. I like peoples' ideas of playing mini games similar to hatchi to earn credits. Perhaps the developer could program in games that babies find entertaining like peak-a-boo or "how big is baby?" or things with colorful lights and lots of sounds? I was thinking that instead of buying diapers and wipes and formula (which come with the game) the earned credits from the mini games could be used to buy more foods besides the baby bottle, and more toys.
This is a great game, and it keeps getting better. These are just a few thoughts that popped into my head as I read recent comments. Oh, regarding the cost of the ambulance: it's an option to weigh ending the game vs. the opportunity to use significant credits to save your baby. It was presented to me when I forgot to feed him for 10 hours while I was at work and he was essentially starving to death, but I decided I'd rather use my credits in another way (like to hire the nanny for the next baby).

By Ornella on Friday, May 27, 2016 - 02:46

I like the type of games you mentioned flcomputergeek. I understand about the credits but I wasn't meaning to buy diapers with real money that's why I suggested we get mini games. If we buy credits that should be like if we wanted to hire a nanny or buy the clothing wich they offered.

By Ornella on Monday, June 27, 2016 - 02:46

Thanks for the update though. Here's a few bugs that I found. When I tap on feed the baby it says wake up then I swipe again and then I get the feed the baby menu. Another bug is that when ever I try to take my baby out her comfort level goes down. I check the log and everything is ok. I take off the clothes take off diaper use wet wipe bathe baby use powder put on diaper put on coat. Her comfort level is 100 percent. I click take for a walk then I click park her comfort level goes down so I take her back home and it then goes back up to 100 percent. Please check in to that. The final thing is that one time I checked the prices of the clothing and it seems to go up and down. Like one minute its 5 credits then the next its 7 credits.

By Paige on Wednesday, July 27, 2016 - 02:46

Hi. I noticed a bug. When I went to walk my baby, I selected playground, but it made the park noise. I also tried the other location I purchased, lake, with the same results. I tried closing and reopening the app, too, but it still wouldn't play the right location.

By Ornella on Wednesday, July 27, 2016 - 02:46

The same thing happened to me and I told them about it so they are aware of it and more bugs.

By Paige on Saturday, August 27, 2016 - 02:46

Hi. I love all the new features, and I am most excited about the earning credits future. Thank you for making this possible. Yesterday, I watched two videos and was able to earn two credits. But today, I watched two videos and I did not receive any credits. It said that I could only earned two credits per day, but I didn't get any credits when watching the videos. Am I doing something wrong

By Iamriley on Saturday, August 27, 2016 - 02:46

In reply to by Paige

Where are the videos that u get to earn credits from

By Paige on Saturday, August 27, 2016 - 02:46

They are in a weird place. You press the toys button and there is a button towards the top of the screen called earn credits and that is how you watch a video to end credits

By greekgirl on Saturday, August 27, 2016 - 02:46

In reply to by Paige

Hi, I think it might be a glych in the program today. I have had the same issue. I watched two videos and did not earn any credits. I will see what happens tomorrow.

By Paige on Saturday, August 27, 2016 - 02:46

Hi! I think the credit issue was just a temporary bug, because today and yesterday i was able to earn credits. I just have a question, do the milk and water bottles sound different from each other? Thanks!

By Ornella on Saturday, August 27, 2016 - 02:46

I had the same problem. I watched the videos and I didn't earn anything yesterday. and sometimes when I try to come out of the add it gives me hell. I would have to close the game and restart. And when I try to use 5 credits to hire a nanny in the night time I'm getting an alert saying that I don't have enough credits. So I don't know if I'm doing something wrong. And some time the stuff would change like at one time I checked the cost of the water bottle and it cost 5 credits and another time it would cost 8 credits. So I don't really know what going on with it.

By Paige on Tuesday, September 27, 2016 - 02:46

I love the new update and am glad the video credit issues being fixed. I just have one question: is the new update now compatible with ios 10? This is my favorite app and so I don't want to update if it will be inaccessible. Thanks!

Hi. I can tell you that my baby sim works flawlessly with the newest version of IOS. I've been able to take care of my baby without a problem.

By Paige on Tuesday, September 27, 2016 - 02:46

Ok, thanks.

By Ornella on Tuesday, September 27, 2016 - 02:46

I love the new update but I'm using an Iphone 4s and since I'm using ios 9.3.5 this game sticks at times and crashed 3 times today. All my other games are working fine but not so much this one.

By MissThea on Tuesday, September 27, 2016 - 02:46

This sounds like a real endorphin rush. I've already parented two kids, and they're adults now. This might just be the thing for my empty nest syndrome. Can we choose the gender and name our baby? Can we choose to nurse or bottle feed and stuff like that? I could use a few endorphin-rushing baby gurgles. As well as a teaching tool, a game like this could be a way of enjoying some simulated love.

Hi! Yes, you can choose the age, name, gender, and race of your baby. You can also choose what difficulty level to play and if you want to play training mode or game mode. You can only feed the baby milk and water, and as for toys there are two rattles, a passifier, a teddy bear, and a bunny. Hope this helps!

By TamagotchiTune on Tuesday, September 27, 2016 - 02:46

I love that we can earn credits now but with the cost to highor a baby sitter or to buy other things I think we should be able to earn more credits a day. I want to start another game but I'm low on credits and earn them as much as I can to afford what I need.
Also the adds are hard to get out of with Voiceover.

In reply to by Lulu Hartgen

Hi, Lulu. I've found the ap mostly accessible, although there are a couple of unlabeled buttons, and the help section is a bit small. For instance, I didn't know to hit the 'heat milk' button again to stop it from heating up too hot. But other than that, little Maurice is doing fine. There aren't enough feel-good games out there, as most of them are puzzle games or action games with a horror or violence theme. I realize this wasn't packaged as a feel-good game, but as a parent of grown children, that's how I found it. It's a warm fuzzy for an empty nester.

By MissThea on Tuesday, September 27, 2016 - 02:46

I'd adore to be able to push my baby through the park, hearing the sounds change around me as the stroller goes over grass or on a sidewalk--with, of course, appropriate baby gurgles. At some future date, it might be nice to have someone come up to you and say what a lovely baby you have. As for coming home, it might be nice to get the feel of walking back home. Say, a few steps before you open and close the door.

The ambulance option came up when I tried to heat up the milk to feed my baby. As a parent of two real babies, (they're college students now), I must say it was easier to handle wriggly, writhey little bodies than to handle a buggy ap. I couldn't get the milk to stop heating, scalded my poor little Maurice, and had to pay thirty credits for the ambulance. Now, it looks like I just hit the heat up button again when I want to stop the milk from getting warmer. But yes, the ambulance option only comes up when the baby gets sick.

By MissThea on Tuesday, September 27, 2016 - 02:46

In reply to by Ornella

I got a 'game over' option after a 2nd round with the ambulance. This happened because I didn't know when or how to stop the milk from heating up. Poor li'l Maurice got scalded, but he's a forgiving baby, just told me to take care of him better next time. Trust me, you won't get that from a real kid. LOL Anyway, I wondered if anyone has run into the game over option? Is it a literal 24 hours one has to wait to save a game? I can't wait to bring my daughter into the world.

Actually I think it'd be cool to earn credits while watching cartoon clips with your baby. Or maybe sending feedback could earn five or ten credits.

By MissThea on Tuesday, September 27, 2016 - 02:46

In reply to by Ornella

I don't think most babies start to teeth until six months or so. Also, the 'say word' feature isn't quite accurate for baby behavior. Mine never said any words at one month. Or four months.

I wonder if that's why I found a couple of unlabeled buttons. Other than some unlabeled buttons that don't seem to do anything, the ap seems to be accessible.
Please, developers, whatever you do, don't forget us Voice-Over users. Thanks.

In real life, there are times when you've done everything, and your baby is still fussy. I guess that's what's wrong with my little guy, since his diaper is fresh, he's been fed, rocked, sung to, taken out for a walk. For now, he's sleeping. But I can't figure out if there's anything to do to raise his comfort level. Is this part of the game? I even checked his temp, and he's healthy.
Oh yes, I could use more feedback from VoiceOver when I'm heating the milk, since I can't see. I can't tell when it's getting warm or too hot. In real life, this was easy, since both the milk and the baby were real. LOL

By MissThea on Tuesday, September 27, 2016 - 02:46

Since the iPhone has a mike, I think future updates that allow interaction from Mommy so that your baby can see and hear you, (turning on camera and mike), you can comfort the child that way. In real life, so many things depend on visual and audio cues. Although I couldn't see my kids, they responded to the sound of my voice.
Just a suggestion. And of course, access with VoiceOver.

By Paige on Tuesday, September 27, 2016 - 02:46

Hi! So as for heating up the milk, you press the heat up milk button to heat it. If you swipe to the left, Voiceover will read out the milk temperature, and when it's at normal you can stop heating, (it will hurt your baby if the water is warm or hot, but it won't if the water is cold. Sometimes, if m? baby is crying, I will just leave it at cold so I can feed her faste). I love the walking suggestion! Maybe if you eventually walked enough you could walk right into the next background if nou purchased it. That would be cool. I like the interactive option. Another cool thing: since the game is account based, it would be cool if your baby could play and interact with other babies. For example if I was in the park and someone else playing this game at the same time was also, then we could have our babies play together. I also like teething ring suggestion, and there should be a bouncy seat for your baby to sit in and for stuffed animals a fluffy stuffed sheep would be adorable. Also when I was a baby I had a sound machine at night, maybe that could be cool. Also a wind-up music box would be awesome. The game over means you neglected the baby too long or heated the milk too hot. Which buttons are unlabeled for you? All the buttons i have found so far are labeled...

Hi. I have two babies going.
My baby Rosalind is set to advanced mode.
When I warm her bottle, I just let it go a few seconds, then double tap where it says "warm bottle" and the boiling sound stops.
I have no vision.
I don't get any feedback about how kitten-warm the milk is, but neither do I have to send for the ambulance.
I'd really like the option to nurse, since breast milk is way healthier for a baby than formula, and since this doesn't say anything about this baby being adopted, I assume I had the baby, and that the game just goes from 1 to 4 months.
