Baby Tracking

Interactive milestone checklists from 2 months to 5 years with photo and video examples of what each one looks like. Tells you when to "act early" if something seems off. Generates a PDF summary for your doctor's visit. Free, no ads, no subscription. English and Spanish. Doesn't track feeds or sleep - purely developmental milestones. Pair it with a daily tracker like Baby Connect or Huckleberry for the full picture.

Based on 35+ years of research, Wonder Weeks maps 10 developmental leaps from birth to 20 months. Enter your baby's due date, get a personalized calendar showing when fussy phases will hit and what mental skills are forming. It won't fix the screaming. But knowing "this is Leap 4, it peaks Tuesday, they're learning cause and effect" makes it survivable. Free version is limited. Subscription unlocks the full leap calendar and 77 age-specific games.

Tracks feeds, sleep, diapers, growth, meds, tummy time, baths - everything. Free with ads. Clean charts, excel export, reminders. Wear OS support. 129K+ reviews on Google Play. The trade-off: no multi-device sync. No adding a second caregiver. It's your phone, your data, your tracker. If that's fine - you won't find a better free option. If you need partner sync, Baby Connect or Baby Daybook.

Visual timeline layout: feeds, sleep, diapers appear as colored blocks on a daily scroll. Sleep predictions tell you when the next nap window opens. Syncs across iOS, Android, Apple Watch, Wear OS. Free with premium options ($1.99-$49.99). 2M+ parents use it. If you like data over aesthetics, Baby Connect or Huckleberry might suit you better. If you want something that actually feels nice to open at 4am - this.

Not really a tracker - it's a daily "play curriculum" for your baby. Activities for motor, language, cognitive, sensory, and social development with video instructions. Milestone tracking is included but secondary. Basic $4.99/mo, Premium $19.99/mo with multi-device sync. Free tier lets you sample. Similar to Kinedu but stops at 36 months (Kinedu goes to 6 years). Some users report milestone progress resetting after app updates.

ParentLove stands out for two reasons: designed by an actual IBCLC (lactation consultant), and Pro is a one-time $24.99 - not monthly, not yearly. Free version covers feeds, sleep, diapers, pumping, and unlimited sharing. Pro adds vaccine records, growth charts, and milk bank tracking. 4.9 stars across both stores. If you're breastfeeding and want an app that understands nursing, start here.

Nara Baby tracks feeds, diapers, sleep, and milestones for free. Actually free - no premium tier, no ads. Supports multiple caregivers with real-time sync, handles twins, and even has a pregnancy/postpartum mode for mom. Over 1M parents use it. The trade-off? No predictive sleep features like [Huckleberry](/huckleberry). But if you just need solid logging without paying anything, hard to beat.

Feeds, diapers, sleep, pumping, growth, milestones, meds, tummy time - all synced across caregivers. Premium ($60/yr or $90/yr family) adds predictive insights: "next feeding in ~45 min." Growth comparisons against babies the same age. Free tier covers basic logging. Part of the Glow suite - $100 lifetime unlocks period, fertility, pregnancy, and baby apps together. A solid all-rounder, but if sleep is your main problem, Huckleberry goes deeper with SweetSpot predictions and expert plans.

What to Expect is the app version of the pregnancy book your mother gave you. Daily updates, week-by-week fetal development, symptom tracking, and a massive community. 4.9 stars, 336K+ reviews. Free. From the brand that's been the default pregnancy resource since 1984. Covers TTC through baby's first year. The editorial content is unmatched in depth and trust.

Week-by-week pregnancy updates, milestone checklists, expert articles, and a community of millions. Kick counter, contraction timer, birth plan builder, baby photo journal - all free. Around since 1997, available in 6 languages. More of a content hub than a data tracker - if you need to log feeds and diapers, use Baby Connect or Huckleberry. BabyCenter is where you go when you need to read "is this normal" at 3am.

One subscription covers unlimited caregivers. 7-day free trial, read-only without a sub. New AI assistant "Luma" answers questions about your data. If you only track on one phone and don't need sync, Baby Tracker by Amila does it free.

Solid Starts is the go-to resource for starting solid foods safely. Free database covers 1,000+ foods with age-specific prep instructions and video demos. The app adds meal logging, allergy tracking, and a First 100 Foods plan. Not a general baby tracker - this is specifically for the terrifying "can they eat this?" phase from 4-12 months. If baby-led weaning scares you, start here.

Gives you 5 personalized activities per day with step-by-step video: motor, language, cognitive, social. Live expert classes on breastfeeding, sleep, development. Free: 3 activities/week + milestone tracker + 650 articles. Premium adds full catalog, progress reports, 1:1 coaching, up to 5 kids. Similar to BabySparks but covers pregnancy through age 6 (BabySparks stops at 3). More "what to do with your baby" than "what did your baby do."
