Breastfeeding Timer - Left/Right/Pause switching

[okvinny96]

First of all, just wanted to say that Baby Buddy is awesome! Loving it and loving getting to try the different companion apps people have made for iOS!

I know some of the commercial baby tracker apps have timers for feeding that will let you dynamically switch between left/right sides within a single feeding record, and will let you pause the timer for burping as well. Early on, my wife was advised to limit the feeding time in order to help our son with his reflux, and so having the ability to see exactly how much time our son actually ate for (instead of just the overall time from start feed to finish feed) was really helpful. Having left/right sides within a single record also allowed us to get an accurate picture of how long it had been since the start of his feed (instead of having the clock reset when sides were switched). I realize there are potential workarounds for this, but having this functionality built in for breastfeeding timers would be appealing to our family and potentially others as well.

Thanks for all the hard work put into developing Baby Buddy!

@okvinny96 if you can describe the U/X (or better yet, have screenshots) -- that may help. The way the model is built right now is pretty rigid but I could see how it could be refactor to support this the way I think you are suggesting.

Thanks @cdubz! Here is a screenshot from another app showing the timer with arrows for switching sides, as well as the pause/stop buttons.

Hm ok, so just a total time on each breast not necessarily the time of every session. That's what it's helpful to see it that way, I wasn't really thinking of it like that.
