Best Baby Feeding Apps UK (2026): Breast, Bottle & Pumping Trackers Compared

"Which side did I finish on?" "How much has she actually had today?" "Was that bottle 90ml or 120?" Feeding a newborn generates more questions per hour than any other part of parenting, and every one of them matters at the next health visitor appointment. A good feeding app answers them without adding a job; a bad one turns every feed into data entry.

Here's an honest UK comparison of the feeding trackers parents actually use — for breastfeeding, bottles, pumping and the messy combination of all three. Full disclosure: we make one of them (CubTrack), and we've kept the comparison fair.

The short answer: for the deepest feeding data and appointment-ready reports, Feed Baby is the specialist. For calm, one-tap logging that both parents can see live, CubTrack — free for you and a partner, with feed predictions included; Plus, which brings in grandparents and other carers, is £4.79 a month on Android and £4.99 on iPhone. For pumping parents who'd rather pay once than subscribe, ParentLove is the standout — sharing and pump logs are free, and a one-off Pro upgrade (£14.99) adds its Milk Bank stash tracker. Fastest no-fuss logging, with free sync between phones: Baby Tracker (Nighp).

What actually matters in a feeding app

• One-handed logging. You will always be holding a baby. If starting a feed timer takes three taps, the 3am feeds don't get logged — and the daily totals become fiction.
• Breast and bottle and pump. Plenty of UK families combination feed; an app that treats bottles as an afterthought punishes exactly the parents juggling most.
• A whole-day view someone else can see. "How many feeds since midnight?" needs an answer across both parents' shifts — see our both-parents comparison for why sharing is the feature that matters.
• Reports the health visitor can use. Feed counts alongside nappy counts is precisely what you're asked for in the early weeks.

The apps, in detail

CubTrack — calm logging the whole family can see

Built around the 3am reality: start a breast or bottle log in one tap, one-handed, and it lands on a shared timeline that you and your partner both see live, each on your own login. Feed predictions — "next feed likely around…" — are included in the free tier, learned from your baby's own pattern (useful from the newborn feeding schedule weeks onwards), and milk stash tracking is free too. CubTrack Plus (£4.79 a month on Android, £4.99 on iPhone) adds grandparents and other carers, unlimited children, full history and a foods-tried weaning checklist; PDF export for the health visitor is free. What it isn't: a data-maximalist — if you want every graph imaginable, that's Feed Baby's turf.

Feed Baby — for feeding data lovers

The specialist: timers, sides, bottle amounts, pumping, solids, and genuinely useful colourful reports for appointments. The depth is the appeal and the drawback — brilliant if you want granular data, a lot of app if you want a quick record and your evening back.

ParentLove — the pumping and stash specialist

Strong pumping logs, milk-stash tracking and automatic ml–oz conversion, with caregiver sharing — and one-off purchases rather than a subscription. The free version (with ads) covers feed and pump logs, unlimited caregiver sharing and unlimited history. The Milk Bank frozen-stash tracker costs extra: £7.49 on its own, or included in the one-off Pro (£14.99) or Pro Family (£24.99, which extends the upgrade to every invited caregiver). For exclusively-pumping parents the feature set is squarely on target.

Baby Tracker (Nighp) — logging without ceremony

Quick to start: download it and log a feed straight away with no account, using a nursing timer that records sides, plus quick bottle and pumping entries. There's more to it than that — WHO growth charts with percentiles, day-to-month trend charts and PDF export are all in the free app — and when a second person needs to see the day, a free sync group links phones across iPhone and Android with one shared email and password. The free app shows ads; a one-off £4.99 removes them, and on iPhone a new Plus subscription (£5.99 a month) adds "What's Next" predictions for feeds, sleep and nappies.

Huckleberry — feeding logs in a sleep platform

Feeding tracking is competent but it's the supporting act — you choose Huckleberry for SweetSpot sleep predictions and, on its Premium tier, expert-designed sleep plans and an AI chat. If feeding is your main event, you can get more focused tools for less; our Huckleberry alternatives comparison covers the trade-off in detail.

Best newborn feeding tracker apps: the first six weeks are different

If you searched for a newborn feeding tracker specifically, the job isn't quite the same as general feed logging. A newborn feeds 8 to 12 or more times in 24 hours, mostly one-handed in the dark — and the two numbers your midwife will actually ask for at every early visit are feeds per 24 hours and wet and dirty nappy counts. Together, those are how feeding gets judged before the weigh-ins can tell the story.

That shifts what matters in the app:

• Logging that survives 3am. A feed you can start with one tap gets logged; anything needing three taps and a think doesn't, and the day's total quietly becomes fiction.
• Nappies next to feeds. A tracker that only does feeds answers half the midwife's question. CubTrack, Feed Baby and Baby Tracker (Nighp) all log wet and dirty nappies alongside feeds.
• A running 24-hour count, not just a timeline. "How many feeds and wet nappies since yesterday?" should be one glance, no arithmetic.
• Both parents on the same total. Newborn nights run in shifts. If the app doesn't share live, the count splits across two phones — and nobody has the real number at the 9am visit.

For the newborn weeks specifically: CubTrack if two of you are sharing the load — feeds, nappies and predictions sit in the free tier on one shared timeline. Baby Tracker (Nighp) if one parent wants the fastest possible solo log. Feed Baby's deep reports and ParentLove's stash tools earn their keep a little later, once feeds settle into a rhythm.

How to choose

1. Who needs the data? Just you → any of them. Both parents → CubTrack, ParentLove and Baby Tracker (Nighp) all sync free: CubTrack gives each of you your own login and role, while Nighp's sync group shares one email and password. Feed Baby syncs too, but on Android every syncing device needs Feed Baby Pro (£8.99). Grandparents and other carers as well → ParentLove includes unlimited caregivers free; CubTrack adds them with Plus. A shared live record beats exported PDFs.
2. Detail or calm? Every ml graphed → Feed Baby. Reassurance the day's on track and what's likely next → CubTrack.
3. Pumping-heavy? Stash tracking is the make-or-break feature — CubTrack includes it in the free tier, ParentLove covers it with its paid Milk Bank (£7.49, or included in Pro), and Baby Tracker (Nighp) keeps a simple pumped-milk inventory free.

Whichever you choose, log honestly rather than perfectly — a missed entry matters less than a system you abandon in week three. If you're still deciding how much your baby should actually be taking, start with our milk amounts guide and remember that cluster feeding will make a mockery of any average.

Frequently asked questions

What's the best app for logging baby feeds?

For shared, one-tap logging with predictions, CubTrack. For maximum detail and reports, Feed Baby. For pumping and stash tracking without a subscription, ParentLove. All three handle breast and bottle feeds.

Is there a free baby feeding tracker?

Yes — every app here has a free version covering feed logging, and more is free than you might expect: ParentLove includes caregiver sharing and unlimited history, Baby Tracker (Nighp) syncs between phones, and CubTrack includes milk stash tracking and sharing with one partner. Typical paid extras are ad removal, predictions in Huckleberry and Baby Tracker, and ParentLove's Milk Bank stash tracker. CubTrack's free tier is unusual in including feed predictions; Plus adds grandparents and other carers, unlimited children and full history.

Which feeding app is best for breastfeeding?

You want a fast side-switching timer and a clear "which side, how long, when" history — Feed Baby and Baby Tracker are strong here, and CubTrack's timer switches sides with a tap, remembers the last side and keeps running when your phone locks, and your partner can see a feed in progress. Pair any of them with our breastfeeding a newborn guide for what the numbers should roughly look like.

What's the best newborn feeding tracker app?

For the newborn weeks: CubTrack — one-tap breast and bottle logging, wet and dirty nappies recorded next to feeds, and a live shared timeline so the 24-hour totals stay whole across both parents' shifts. Baby Tracker (Nighp) is the pick for the fastest solo logging with no account. Whichever you choose, make sure it shows feeds and nappies per 24 hours at a glance — that's the number the midwife asks for.

Do I really need a feeding app for a newborn?

Need, no — but the early weeks are exactly when "how many feeds and wet nappies in 24 hours?" is a question your midwife will actually ask, and memory at 3am is not a filing system. A simple log, kept up, answers it in one glance.
