Best Baby Feeding Tracker App (2026)
A good feeding tracker logs breast, bottle, pumping, and (later) solids in one tap, and shows the day at a glance so you're not doing math half-asleep. ParentFlow does this free on iPhone, Android, and the web, with left and right nursing timers, bottle amounts, and a daily feeding summary. Huckleberry has detailed nursing timers and is the pick if you also want its sleep guidance, though that sits behind a paid plan. Nara Baby is the choice if you just want a free, plain feeding log with nothing locked.
Short answer: A strong feeding tracker should handle breastfeeding timers, bottle amounts, pumping, solids, allergens, diaper output, and trend review. For newborns, the best app connects feeds to diaper counts and growth rather than treating feeding as an isolated log.
What a feeding tracker should do fast
You'll log a feed eight to twelve times a day, often one-handed and half-asleep. So the first test of any feeding tracker isn't the feature list, it's how few taps it takes to start and stop a feed at 3 a.m. without fully waking up.
Look for one-tap entry, a clear left-and-right nursing timer, and a fast way to jot a bottle amount. The faster apps add home-screen widgets, Live Activities, or voice logging so you can start a feed from the lock screen and finish it without ever opening the app. ParentFlow lets you log a feed mid-feed from a Live Activity or widget, and hands-free with Siri, so the phone barely leaves the side table.
Breast, bottle, and pumping in one place
Most newborns eat in more than one way, some breast, some bottle, some pumped milk in between. A tracker earns its place when all three live in the same log instead of three separate apps or a notebook.
For breastfeeding, you want to time left and right with duration, and ideally see which side was last. Huckleberry and Baby Daybook both do this well, timing each breast and remembering the last side. For bottles, you want to record the amount and the time. For pumping, you want each session's amount kept separate from feeds, so your supply view stays honest. ParentFlow keeps breast, bottle, and pumping in one tap each, and a Live Activity means a pumping session ticks along on the lock screen while you do something else.
When solids start
Around six months the log changes shape. Milk feeds keep going, but now there are first tastes, new textures, and the foods you're watching for reactions. A feeding tracker that carries into solids saves you switching tools right when life gets busier.
Two things matter here. First, logging what your baby actually ate, not just "solids." Second, an allergen tracker, a place to note when you introduced common allergens like egg, peanut, or dairy, and how your baby responded, so you have a record if you ever need it. ParentFlow turns on solids and an allergen tracker when food starts, alongside the milk feeds you're already logging. Baby Daybook and Huckleberry track solids too; Nara keeps to a simpler feed log.
Seeing the day at a glance
Logging is only half the point. The other half is reading it back: how many feeds, how much by bottle, which side you nursed last, how today compares with yesterday, without adding it up in your head.
A daily feeding summary answers "how's the day going" in one screen, and trends over a week or two show whether things are settling into a rhythm. That's also where less guesswork on amounts comes in: when the day's feeds are laid out, you can see the pattern instead of estimating. ParentFlow gives you a daily summary and trends free, plus feeding reminders drawn from your own logs rather than a generic schedule. If a question comes up ("is this enough wet diapers?") Ask Flo is a parenting chat you can reach any time, and there's also an AI Cry Translator.

Where ParentFlow fits
ParentFlow is a free baby feeding tracker for iPhone, Android, and the web that runs from pregnancy through age six. Breastfeeding (left and right with duration), bottle amounts, pumping, and (when food starts) solids and an allergen tracker all live in one log, with a daily feeding summary and trends, and no paywall on the basics. Diapers, sleep, and growth are in the same app.
Logging is built to be quick: one-tap entry, home-screen widgets, Live Activities so you can log a feed mid-feed, and hands-free Siri logging. Feeding amount guidance and reminders come from your own logs, not a generic chart. Family sharing gives each caregiver a separate account with real-time updates, so both parents see the same feed history. Ask Flo answers everyday questions, and there's an AI Cry Translator when you can't place a cry.
If you want detailed nursing timers with sleep coaching attached, Huckleberry is worth the paid plan. If you want a free, no-frills feed log, Nara fits. If you want breast, bottle, pumping, and solids tracked free in one place with the day at a glance, ParentFlow is the one to try.

Related questions
- What's the best free feeding tracker app?
- Nara Baby is free end to end, with no ads or in-app purchases, if you want a plain feeding log. ParentFlow keeps feeding tracking (breast, bottle, pumping, and solids) free on iPhone, Android, and the web, with a daily summary and trends and no paywall on the basics. Baby Daybook's core feeding tracking is free too, with some extras held for Premium.
- Can one app track breast and bottle feeding?
- Yes. ParentFlow, Huckleberry, Nara Baby, and Baby Daybook all log breastfeeding (left and right with duration) and bottle feeds with amounts in the same app. ParentFlow adds pumping and, when food starts, solids and an allergen tracker, so one log holds every way your baby eats.
- How do I track pumping sessions?
- Log each pumping session with the amount expressed and the time, kept separate from feeds so you can see supply over the day. In ParentFlow, pumping sits alongside breast and bottle in one tap, and you can start a session from a home-screen widget or a Live Activity without opening the app.
- Is my baby getting enough?
- A common rough check in the early weeks is wet and dirty diapers, roughly six or more wet diapers a day once feeding is established. A tracker that shows feeds and diapers together makes that easier to see, and you can ask Ask Flo a question like whether the wet-diaper count looks right. For weight gain or any worry, check with your pediatrician.
