Baby tracker - feeding, sleep

Review by eFreeware

The first months with a newborn turn into a blur of feeds, naps and diaper changes, and the details matter at pediatric checkups. How much did she eat, when did she last sleep, how many wet diapers today? Trying to hold all of that in your head, on four hours of broken sleep, rarely works.

Baby Tracker from Amila is built for exactly that record-keeping. It is a free parenting app for feeding, sleep and diaper logging, and it has been in the store since July 2017. It carries a 4.9 average across more than 134,000 ratings and over a million installs, which suggests a lot of households have folded it into their daily routine.

What you log, and how it fits the day

The core of the app is straightforward: it records breastfeeding sessions, bottle or newborn feeding, stretches of sleep and diaper changes.

That structure is what makes the app useful at 3 a.m. When you are half awake and trying to remember whether the last feed was two hours ago or four, a dedicated feeding log answers the question faster than a notebook or a chat thread with your partner. The same applies to sleep: seeing when the last nap ended tells you whether the baby is due again soon.

There is also a calendar and a notes area, which gives you somewhere to keep the kind of context that does not fit a timestamp — a change in formula, a rough night, a question to raise with the doctor. The combination of dated entries and free-form notes is what turns a pile of timestamps into something you can actually review.

Care tracking beyond the basics

Amila frames the app as a baby care tracker as well as a feeding and sleep log, and the diaper tracking is part of that broader picture. For a newborn, diaper counts are one of the things health visitors ask about, so having them recorded alongside feeds and sleep keeps the whole set of answers in one place.

The app is also available on Wear OS. That matters more than it might sound: a watch on your wrist is easier to reach mid-feed than a phone lying on the other side of the room, and it saves you from waking a sleeping baby by hunting for a screen. The developer lists this as a supported platform, so it is worth checking whether your watch is covered before you rely on it.

Because the app covers feeding, sleep, diapers, care and notes together, it works as a single record rather than several. That is the main argument for choosing it over keeping separate logs for each concern.

What the free version asks of you

Baby Tracker is free to install, and it is supported by ads. It also offers in-app purchases. I would treat the free version as the starting point and decide from there whether the paid options look useful to you.

The other thing to weigh is the scope. This is a tracker built around feeding, sleep, diaper changes and care notes, and it stays inside that territory. If you are looking for a tool that does something else entirely, the app's focus will feel narrow.

None of that is a problem for the job it was designed for. A logbook that does a handful of things reliably is often more useful in the newborn stage than a sprawling app you have to learn while exhausted.

A logbook for the newborn months

I would point this at parents and caregivers in the thick of the newborn and infant stage, particularly those who share the work with a partner, a grandparent or a sitter. A written record that anyone can add to and read is a practical way to hand over a shift without a long explanation of what happened while you were asleep.

It also suits anyone who wants a factual account to bring to appointments. Rather than reconstructing the week from memory, you can look back at the calendar and notes and answer questions about feeding frequency, sleep patterns and diaper counts with something concrete.

The 4.9 rating across a large number of reviews suggests this approach has landed well with a lot of families since 2017. The app was last updated in October 2026, so it is still being worked on.

For a free app that covers the essentials of early baby care, this is an easy one to try. Install it, log a day or two, and see whether the rhythm of feeding, sleep and diaper entries matches the way you already think about your baby's day.
