I'm a new parent and I need to track when my son eats/poops/pees etc. There are times when my hands aren't available. I built a tiny "app" that just records these things to a google spreadsheet for me.

I also like the idea of "authenticating" via being present in my home. If my in laws are watching my son while I step out for a few minutes - they can talk to Alexa as easily as I can.

Interestingly this is something that amazon is actually advertising the echo with: https://www.amazon.com/cWix-Baby-Stats/dp/B01CJRUAF6
Voice command is sometimes the only option when parents' hands are full.
