Baby wearable technologies are becoming increasingly popular, particularly in early infancy. However, little research has been conducted to investigate how baby wearable technologies are adopted and used in parenting. This paper presents a two-week in-depth situated study with six mothers in their homes consisting of contextual entry and exit interviews, video recordings of "out-of-box" experiences, and a diary study. Using interpretative phenomenological analysis, participants' use and expectations of the baby wearable technology were examined. Use of the device directly impacted upon parents' knowledge production and anxiety, and influenced the perceived physicality and social factors of parenting. We frame these findings around sociological norms of the vulnerable child and responsible mother, as well as the notion of "lived informatics", where individuals' interaction with the technology influenced the perception, use and impact of the baby wearable on everyday parenting practices and familial relationships.

“…Beyond breastfeeding, other recent work has sought to design technologies to combat social isolation faced by mothers of new infants [26], help expectant mothers share information about their pregnancy with an intimate social group [31], and introduce communication tools for homeless mothers at an emergency shelter to connect with support staff and learn about resources [36]. We intend for our research to contribute to this ongoing conversation and body of research related to motherhood and HCI.…”

In recent years, the CHI community has begun to discuss how HCI research could improve the experience of motherhood. In this paper, we take up the challenge of designing for this complex life phase and present an analysis of data collected from a design process that included over 1,000 mothersubmitted ideas to improve the breast pump, a technology that allows mothers around the world to collect and store their breast milk. In addition to presenting a range of ideas to improve this specific technology, we discuss environmental, legal, social, and emotional dimensions of the postpartum period that suggest opportunities for a range of additional supportive technologies. We close with insights linking our findings to ongoing discussions related to Feminist HCI theory, crowdsourcing, and participatory design.

“…Considerations have included: how the everyday burdens parents face should influence the design of an infant monitoring system [20]; how breast pumps can be better designed to fit into mothers' lives [14]; and how the design of a breastfeeding support system is greatly improved by deliberately engaging with the felt life of breastfeeding mothers [7,38]. Additionally, social-sharing interventions for parents have appeared within HCI scholarship, including a device for helping parents manage their online presence [42], a system that helps mothers share the physical experience of their pregnancy [21], and a social network for helping single parents connect in person to other parents in their area [5]. Similar applications to the latter design have recently appeared in smartphone app stores, including e.g., Peanut [33] and Mush [30].…”

One of the many challenges of becoming a parent is the shift in one's social life. As HCI researchers have begun to investigate the intersection of sociotechnical system design and parenthood, they have also sought to understand how parents' social lives can be best supported. We build on these strands of research through a qualitative study with new parents regarding the role of digital technologies in their social lives as they transition to parenthood. We demonstrate how sociotechnical systems are entangled in the ways new parents manage their relationships, build (or resist building) new friendships and ad hoc support systems, and navigate the vulnerabilities of parenthood. We discuss how systems designed for new parents can better support the vulnerabilities they internalize, the diverse friendships they desire, and the logistical challenges they experience. We conclude with recommendations for future design and research in this area.
