Baby Breastfeeding Tracker Reviews

by Sara Paulk

If you are a new mom like me and saw all the great reviews on BabyBreastfeedingTracker and got excited, let me save you the inconvenience and trouble BabyBreastfeedingTracker has caused me. I had been using it for a week with my newborn (first time mom) and had recorded extensive amounts of data pertinent to her first few weeks of life. Mid-feeding at 2 am, BabyBreastfeedingTracker started to crash. Now BabyBreastfeedingTracker will not even open and allow me to access any of the previously recorded data. I contacted the company because in all their responses to negative reviews, that’s the instruction they give. No reply. There are forums of hundreds of parents who have had this same issue except most of them had MONTHS of data. Save yourself the disappointment and don’t give BabyBreastfeedingTracker the benefit of the doubt because this company has not taken responsibility for the glitches it has failed to resolve in an app that a lot of moms and parents relied on.

My wife and I have been seeking for a good baby tracking app and looks like we’ll continue looking.
BabyBreastfeedingTracker is terrible when it comes to usability (I have iPhone 11pro).

If you don’t have good IT skills or high expectations, and don’t mind major flaws, then BabyBreastfeedingTracker will just do fine for you.

Here are the issues we had:
- Sometimes BabyBreastfeedingTracker doesn’t go past the loading screen and then kicks us back to the iPhone home screen. Only way to resolve this is to uninstall and reinstall.
- We both purchased the premium version but after reinstalling, BabyBreastfeedingTracker doesn’t recognize the purchase and never removes ads! So for that reason, we want our money back!
- We can’t log in at the same time, and we haven’t found a way to log baby info on both of our phones without being kicked out.
- The export functionality only works if a phone’s native email client is set up. I don’t use the awful iPhone email app so now I can’t export any data and will lose all data we already recorded is can manually transfer into an app that actually works.

I already sent a feedback email to the developer’s given email address but haven’t received any receipt notice or any actual response, so customer service is terrible as well.

I love BabyBreastfeedingTracker but I have had it delete some entries for some reason causing me to lose a few hours of data... I also wish that you could start and stop the timer. I hate how if you stop the timer that you cannot restart it. It would also be helpful to start a timer but be able to change the start time. For example, if my baby has been sleeping for 15 minutes and I forgot to start the timer- it would be helpful to start the timer and say the start time was 15 minutes ago and allow it to continue to run. I always forget to go back and add the time of feedings, sleeping, etc. before I started the timer if I didn’t start right away.

I've used BabyBreastfeedingTracker for about 8 weeks and at first I loved it, even bragged about it in a paid study I did for the baby birth center. I wish I could adjust that brag because for the past 2 weeks, I've had issues with syncing information between my iPad and iPhone. I figured it was just glitchy since it wasn't syncing on my iPad the bottles, diaper changes, and sleep I logged on my iPhone. I gave it a little reset by logging out, but when I went to login, it became stuck on the sync screen. I deleted BabyBreastfeedingTracker and downloaded it again, only to have it stuck on the sync screen. I can't use it on my iPad anymore, which is annoying. Hoping this issue is resolved.

I loved BabyBreastfeedingTracker until just a few days ago. My daughter is 10 months old and I’ve been using it ever since we brought her home from the hospital and there’s never been an issue. But recently when I have BabyBreastfeedingTracker open, even if the sound on my phone is turned off, a random add will start playing. Both times it’s been after my daughter fell asleep in my arms. It blows my mind that anyone would think it was okay for a baby app like this to suddenly start playing loud ads. If it happens again I will find a new nursing app. This one does the job but it was the first one I found and began using in the midst of those exhausting newborn days. I’m sure I can find another one that is just as good if not better now that I’m not as exhausted and have the time to research a new one.

I used BabyBreastfeedingTracker for my ODS 3 years ago and it was fantastic! We used it on 3 devices and never had an issue. I was happy to find out that it could be used to track multiple children since we found out we were having twins. I wouldn’t have to learn something new!! So I paid for 5he upgrade to do so.

The twins are now 3 months old and I’m very disappointed with the constant crashes when using my iPad. It seems to do ok on my phone, but when I need to use it on my iPad it just shuts down.

I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled several times and it doesn’t help. I left it off my iPad for about a month and just now reinstalled it. First thing I did was try and record a nursing session and it crashed the second I hit play. These are the same 2 devices I used it on in the past. I don’t know if it’s because Sunflower took it over and somethings changed or the fact that I’m using it for multiple babies or what.

Definitely not as happy with it as I was before! If I wasn’t so sleep deprived and busy, I’d probably take the time to find an app that worked a little better for us now.

I loved BabyBreastfeedingTracker. I used it with my singleton daughter and now with my twins. It worked amazingly. I have tried so many other nursing apps but none give me the information I need like this one. I can see all their feedings, totals for the day, week, month and I can track both babies at the same time. But this last week BabyBreastfeedingTracker has been crashing, freezing, not loading, I can’t swipe between the twins profiles and I’ve had to uninstall and reinstall BabyBreastfeedingTracker 3 times. I emailed the contact us link from their site and no one even responded to me. It’s such a great app so I’m bummed it’s starting to get glitchy and freezing. I don’t want an app that doesn’t open or freezes constantly when I’m trying to feed my twins at midnight and 2a or 3am etc...

I have found BabyBreastfeedingTracker to be very useful in tracking my baby's schedule and routine. Spending the money to get rid of the ads was well worth it to me. The only part of BabyBreastfeedingTracker I don't like is the way sleep is calculated. Instead of tracking how much my baby sleeps in a 24 hour day, it tracks a 24 hour day plus however long her last sleep is. If she falls asleep at 11pm and doesn't wake for 6 hours, those last 5 hours don't show up in the correct day's total. They are added to the previous day which makes it difficult to see how much she is really sleeping every 24 hours.

I was using another app that I thought was great but you had to pay in order to get the charts/graphs which I refuse to do. BabyBreastfeedingTracker does everything my previous app did PLUS shows me the charts for FREE. I also like the way it counts feedings whereas my other app considered it a feeding every time I changed breasts which made the number of feeding inaccurate (22 feedings a day when baby was taking both breasts so it should have only been 11).
The only thing I would change is: when you give baby a bottle it should be taken into consideration when you have the notifications set up. For example: when you give the baby a bottle BabyBreastfeedingTracker shouldn’t be sending me a notification to nurse the baby until x hours after I gave the bottle.
Other than that, BabyBreastfeedingTracker is perfect for what I need!

by Hotelcaz

Wished this could also be used on a smart watch! It’s not always easy to start/stop the nursing timer when your hands are full of squirming baby. My phone has fallen off the table countless times. Also, different graphs (overlaying weekly bar or scatter graph)to better visualize feeding trends would be great. Ability to change the font to something I can actually read -gray & tiny just doesn’t cut it at 2am! I can’t read the ’time since’ last feeding at a glance. I can read the times, but can’t quickly calculate the difference, which would be helpful If I’m trying to shift the feeding times. Option to have start/stop button at bottom of screen!
Great app all in all.

My son is one month old and I love BabyBreastfeedingTracker. It was recommended by a friend. We use the pumping feature, tracking feedings and diaper changes, and growth. But.... when I scroll on the home page it shuts down BabyBreastfeedingTracker . I tried deleting BabyBreastfeedingTracker and re downloading it but it didn’t fix the problem. My husband downloaded BabyBreastfeedingTracker on his phone and logged into my account to re arrange the categories to bring everything we use to the top so I don’t have to scroll. It’s still annoying. I think BabyBreastfeedingTracker needs an update. I love it though! I use a couple of the other apps that this developer created like the countdown app.

I have used BabyBreastfeedingTracker through two babies now and I’ve really liked it. I purchased the full version pretty early on so I could keep track of sleep and meds for my middle child. It’s very easy to use and allows me to be pretty detailed in keeping track of things. It’s nice to be able to keep track of so many things, even tummy time and baths! My tired mom-brain doesn’t have to struggle to remember all that stuff

There are some things that could improve - the charts are fairly useless, I wish the notifications were more like an alarm, and the sleep section could highlight when the child woke up rather than when he went to sleep - but overall it’s a great app.

My wife and I have been using BabyBreastfeedingTracker for about 7 weeks now to track our newborn's diapers, breastfeeding, weight and more. The number of different baby stats you can track in one location is super convenient and the main menu screen is very easy to use.

Our experience has been mostly positive but with a handful of annoyances:

• No timer in the lock screen for pumping or breastfeeding.
• When adjusting times in a feed, tapping out of the timer dial erases your changes
• Weird menu choices that say "formula" or "breast milk" three or four times.
• The "stickiness" of time selections for feedings often defaults to odd times (based on previous options) and causes the "overlapping feedings" error to pop up too often.
• The "Doctors Visit" section should be reworked, it's too complicated. I should be able to add info quickly while talking to the pediatrician.
• The sleep tracking function should be simplified like the nursing screen so I can just hit a "sleep" button and then get a reminder when I go to do something else like a diaper change.
• Sync across multiple devices needs work - sometime things don't show up until manually synced, sometime not until the following day.

Despite these minor flaws we liked BabyBreastfeedingTracker enough to by multiple premium versions for our different devices.

I love BabyBreastfeedingTracker! It has everything from tracking diapers, nursing, pumping, bottles, and more. There is an export option for you to send any of the schedules to another party if you set up your email. I am still trying to figure out how to set that part up but I love that it has the option so you can share with your spouse or a babysitter. Only thing I wish could be better is occasionally it will just shut off when you are inputting pumping data. It was only doing it every once in a while but in the last few days, it has done it more frequently. Other than that, great app!

I don’t normally write reviews, (nor do I normally pay for apps I’m a bit of a cheapskate) BUT I had newborn twins and needed some way to track feedings and pumping because otherwise I’d lose my mind. I pulled the trigger and bought BabyBreastfeedingTracker and IT IS SOOOO WORTH EVERY PENNY!! With twins it’s just too hard to keep track of everything... when did N eat last? How long has F been sleeping?? It was the only tracker I could find that you could input data for two babies. BabyBreastfeedingTracker is worth its weight in gold if you have twins. It’s easy to use, I love how you can set reminders for everything. Again... newborn twins... a lot to keep up with and remember. I also like how you can see daily totals and averages of the feedings, sleep, diaper changes, pumping. So I can see how much the babies are eating and if they’re eating enough and how many wet and dirty diapers they have. It’s a lot to have to input into BabyBreastfeedingTracker but if you can stay disciplined to input the data it can really help you to have an overall picture of what’s going on with your babies. It’s tough to keep up with two newborns especially when your attention is divided or if you have other kids but BabyBreastfeedingTracker makes me feel like I know what’s going on with the babies and that they are getting enough to eat and sleep. Best of all... it just works!! No crashing or bugs that I have found. It’s the best investment in an app I’ve ever made.

This is my 2nd baby and I used a different but similar app with my first. I like how this one is formatted more. I use it primarily for keeping track of breastfeeding and I like the timer option with stop and pause and the fact that you can edit start and stop times easily (in case you forget to stop or start timing late) other similar apps are harder to edit, which is annoying. When you're up feeding at 3am you're not always going to perfectly track... I also like that you can organize the categories in the order you want.

by Jesbennick

I downloaded a handful of apps to try, and figure out which one works for us. BabyBreastfeedingTracker blew the others out of the water. It tracks everything I wanted. I just found out you can rearrange the items to put the ones you use up at the top as well. It’s easy to add in an entry if you missed it and timed it manually, or if you forgot to start a timer you can easily adjust the start time before saving it, and after!
It’s been great to track our newborns feeding, diapers and sleep. The doctor loved that I had such detailed info on his diapers and feeds.

Delete the others and keep this one!
It also tracks meds, play time, bottles, pumping, and more!

by LMT7

It’s a great app and definitely worth paying for to remove the ads, in my opinion. I use it mostly to track breastfeeding and pumping, but the options for tracking diapers, doctor appointments, sleep, etc. are very welcome additional features. I like how customizable the home screen is and that you can easily change the units of measurement.

I agree with some other reviewers that analytics could be a little more robust. I also sent feedback directly to the developer because I’d really like a breastfeeding reminder at 1.5 hours and I can currently only pick something less than 60 minutes, or 1 or 2 hours. They responded very quickly to acknowledge the feedback, which I appreciated.

First off, let me say that I have never left a review for any app. BabyBreastfeedingTracker has been a life saver! Like most new parents, we are sleep deprived and cannot remember our last feeding, diaper change, or pumping session. I am an exclusive pumper and BabyBreastfeedingTracker has helped me see how much milk I gain or lack on a given day. I love that it includes the times of feedings, because let’s be honest, I cannot remember exactly what time this child ate last. All I have to do is pull up BabyBreastfeedingTracker and check. I have not used the timers since the baby has her own set internal one. I also love that I can track her weight and diaper changes throughout the week. It has been a big help in the doctors office when they ask about her intake and output. There is even a section to document medications.
If you haven’t tried BabyBreastfeedingTracker , you should!

I love the layout of BabyBreastfeedingTracker ! This really helps me keep track of diapers and feedings (that’s my main focus considering my baby is 4 days old right now) I wish in the diaper section it showed a recommendation on how many bowel movements/wet diapers they should be having that day. I do love every aspect of BabyBreastfeedingTracker so far. I only have the free version and may upgrade to the paid version soon. To all the new mommas out there; the timer part of the breast feeding is amazing! I love how all I have to do is hit start and stop and it will track the times for me and for how long each session is!
