Private by design. Your baby’s feed log is saved only in this browser on this device. It is never sent to us or anyone else, and there is no account. Clearing your browser data removes it. Saving is switched off in this browser, so nothing will be remembered after you close the page.

A record, not medical advice. This log helps you remember feeds. It cannot tell you whether your baby is feeding well. If you are worried about your baby, speak to your doctor, midwife or health visitor. Nothing you enter is sent anywhere: the log runs in your browser.
How to use the log
- Set the minutes (or run the stopwatch while you feed).
- Tap Left, Right, Both or Bottle. The feed is saved at once and you can undo it or delete it from today’s list.
- Check today’s totals and the 7-day chart. Use Export CSV to share the log with your doctor or health visitor.
“Average gap” is the time from the start of the first feed to the start of the last feed, divided by the number of gaps. It needs at least 2 feeds in the day.
What the guidance says
The Rosie Hospital (Cambridge University Hospitals, NHS) says a baby who is feeding well should feed at least 8 times in 24 hours. Its nappy guide expects 1 to 2 or more wet nappies on days 1 to 2, 3 or more on days 3 to 4, 5 or more on days 5 to 6, and 6 or more heavy wet nappies from days 7 to 28, with at least 2 poos a day from day 3, turning yellow by days 5 to 6. Contact your midwife or health visitor if your baby is sleepy and hard to wake, may be jaundiced, has fewer wet or dirty nappies than expected, or you feel your baby is not getting enough milk. This guidance is written for breastfed babies, and other services may give slightly different numbers, so ask your own midwife or doctor.

Frequently asked questions
How often should a newborn feed?
Newborns feed often. NHS-based hospital guidance says a baby who is feeding well should feed at least 8 times in 24 hours. Follow your baby’s hunger cues rather than the clock, and ask your midwife, health visitor or doctor if you are unsure.
How do I know my baby is getting enough milk?
Wet and dirty nappies are a useful guide. From about day 5, hospital guidance based on NHS advice expects 5 or more wet nappies a day, rising to 6 or more heavy wet nappies by days 7 to 28, and at least 2 yellow poos a day. Content babies who are gaining weight are a good sign. If you are worried, speak to your midwife, health visitor or doctor.
What does the average gap mean?
It is the average time from the start of one feed to the start of the next, across the feeds you logged that day. It needs at least 2 feeds. It is only a record for you, not a target.
Can I use this for a bottle-fed baby?
Yes. Choose Bottle and enter the minutes it took. The guidance on this page about nappies and feed counts comes from breastfeeding advice, so ask your doctor what suits a bottle-fed baby.
Is my baby’s log saved or sent anywhere?
It is saved only in this browser on this device, so it is not shared between phones. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else. You can export it as a CSV file or clear it at any time.
