Best Breastfeeding Tracker Apps 2026: Free Features, Timers and Sharing

We make Robin Baby, and it’s our pick for most breastfeeding families. The per-side nursing timer, the side your last feed ended on, left vs right balance, pumping and sharing with your partner are all free, with no ads. Huckleberry is the pick if you also want paid sleep coaching, and Nara Baby if you’d rather pay once and never think about it again.

Read this with that in mind. We checked each app’s own site and US store listing on October 11, 2026, and link the sources under each app. This compares features and prices, not how each app feels to use. Where an app’s own pages didn’t say, we write “not stated”, which means we couldn’t confirm it, not that the feature is missing.

Breastfeeding app comparison: free timers, sharing and US prices

Checked October 11, 2026 on each app’s own site and US App Store or Google Play listing. “Ads” means the Google Play listing says “Contains ads”. Prices change, so check the listing before you subscribe.

Nursing timers and last-side tracking, explained

Almost every breastfeeding app has a timer. The differences are in the details you notice at 3 a.m.:

• Per-side timing. A timer for each breast, with a switch button, records how long you spent on each side in one feed instead of one total.
• Last side. Most parents use an app to answer one question: which side did we end on? Apps show this differently. Some show the side the last feed ended on, and nappi says it shows “which side is next”. Either way, you still decide where to start.
• Pause. Babies unlatch, burp and need a diaper mid-feed. A pause button keeps that as one feed. Without it, stopping and restarting can split one feed into several entries.
• Logging afterwards. If you forgot to start the timer, you need a way to type in the minutes for each side. Check this before you commit to an app, because many listings don’t mention it.

Free features, sharing and prices

The big change in 2026 is what “free” means. Nara Baby, long the go-to free nursing app, now becomes read-only after a 7-day trial. Baby Daybook keeps logging free with ads on Android, but syncing with a partner is Premium. Medela Family is free, but more than one caregiver needs its VIP pack, and the listing doesn’t say what that costs. Huckleberry keeps the timer and sharing free, though caregivers share one login rather than having their own accounts.

Ads matter more than they sound when you’re scrolling one-handed in the dark. Glow Baby, Baby Daybook, Baby Tracker by Amila, Feed Baby and ParentLove all carry Google Play’s “Contains ads” label.

If you nurse and pump (or your partner gives bottles)

Many families do all three: nursing at home, pumping at work or overnight, and a partner giving a bottle of pumped milk or formula. So compare whether an app records per-side pump amounts, mixed bottles and nursing alongside pumping. A setup that works:

1. Nursing: start the per-side timer, switch sides, pause for burps.
2. Pumping: log the session with the amount from each breast, or a total.
3. Bottles: whoever gives the bottle logs it as breast milk, formula, or a mix of both.
4. Look at the day as a whole: how many times milk was removed by nursing or pumping, and how much happened at night.

Robin Baby does all four on the free plan, and so does sharing them with your partner. Nara Baby and Huckleberry also log nursing and pumping, and Medela Family suits parents with a Medela smart pump. If pumping is most of your day, see our best pumping apps comparison.

1. Robin Baby: best free breastfeeding tracker

Free: per-side nursing timer with switch and pause, the side your last feed ended on, minutes per side logged afterwards, left vs right balance, pump sessions, mixed bottles, feed reminders, and sharing with up to 3 caregivers, with no ads. Premium: $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year in the US, with 7 days free and no card needed.

“This is a great app to co parent with! No longer need to ask when was last feed, was his meds given, Etc.” (App Store review, October 2026)

A timer that handles real feeds

Start on either side, tap to switch, and pause when your baby unlatches. Forgot to start it? Type in the minutes for each side afterwards. The feed card shows which side the last feed ended on, so you can see at a glance where you left off.

Both of you see the same feeds

A running nursing timer shows on your partner’s phone, on iPhone or Android. Invite them from Profile, then Invite Partner. Up to three caregivers is free, and each entry shows who logged it.

Left vs right, and nursing vs pumping

Insights show your balance between breasts over time, so an uneven side shows up as a number. If you also pump, Robin shows nursing vs pumping each day, your pumped left vs right balance, the gaps between sessions and how much feeding happens at night. A reminder can count nursing and pumping together. Bottles can hold breast milk, formula, or both in one feed. See the nursing and pumping insights.

“It also helped me stay on top of my pumping.” (App Store review, September 2026)

Premium extras

Premium adds voice logging (“nursed 15 minutes left”), Ask Robin for questions about your own logs, a one-page doctor summary with feed counts, breast vs bottle share and average nursing minutes, widgets, and Apple Watch and Wear OS.

“The voice logging is great because I can do it hands free. So starting a nursing timer hands free is super helpful.” (App Store review, October 2026)

Where Robin Baby is weaker: it’s newer, with far fewer reviews than Huckleberry or Nara. Apple Watch, voice and widgets are Premium. The doctor summary doesn’t split feeds by side or include pumping.

2. Huckleberry: best if you also want sleep coaching

Free: a breastfeeding timer for both sides, last side shown in the list, detail and week views, pause, pumping sessions and timer, and caregiver sync. Plus ($11.99/mo or $68.99/yr; the site shows $5.74/mo billed yearly) adds SweetSpot nap predictions and insights. Premium ($14.99/mo or $119.99/yr) adds more. Trial: two weeks.

Huckleberry’s nursing timer is free and complete, with Apple Watch support (watchOS 10.2 or later) and no ads on its Google Play listing. It’s built sleep-first, so the paid plans mostly add sleep features, and pumping gets less attention. Sharing is free, but caregivers sign in to the same account on each phone. See our Huckleberry vs Robin Baby comparison.

3. Nara Baby: best pay-once option

No free logging after a 7-day trial that starts at your first log. $9.99 a month or $99.99 lifetime, with all features in both. The US App Store also lists promotional tiers.

Nara has a left and right timer that notes which side ended the last feed, a per-side pumping timer and output, partner invites, Apple Watch and Siri. It has a 4.9-star rating from about 24,000 ratings. The catch: without a plan the app is read-only for everyone on the profile. If you’re leaving Nara, see is Nara Baby still free and our Nara Baby alternatives.

4. Pebbi: a low-cost annual option

Free: 1 baby and 2 caregivers. Paid (US App Store): $2.99 a month, $19.99 a year or $59.99 lifetime, covering the household.

Pebbi logs left and right independently for breastfeeding and pumping and shows the last side. It’s a newer app; its pages don’t mention Apple Watch or a milk stash.

Sources: Pebbi, App Store listing.

5. nappi: watch-friendly, with a short free history

Free: logging with 14 days of history and free invite-code sharing. Premium: $3.99 a month or $39.99 a year with a 1-week trial, covering the whole household.

nappi has a per-side nursing timer that shows “which side is next”, plus Apple Watch and Wear OS apps. The free plan only keeps two weeks of history, which matters if your pediatrician asks about last month.

Source: nappi.

6. Baby Daybook: Android-friendly, sharing is paid

Free: logging, with ads on Android. Premium: monthly, yearly or lifetime. The US listing shows price ranges, so we couldn’t confirm the exact current price.

Daybook has start and stop timers for each breast with side switching, an Apple Watch app and widgets. Family Sync, which you need to share with a partner, is Premium; connected caregivers then get Premium too.

7. Medela Family: best with a Medela smart pump

Free. Multi-user caregiver access needs the “VIP pack”; the listing doesn’t state its price.

Medela Family (formerly MyMedela) tracks nursing and pumping, keeps a virtual milk storage list with expiry dates, and syncs over Bluetooth with Medela’s Sonata, Freestyle Flex and Swing Maxi pumps. It has a 4.3-star rating, and some reviews describe freezes and sync problems.

What a tracker can’t tell you

A nursing timer measures how long your baby was at the breast, not how much milk they drank. Two ten-minute feeds can be very different. Wet and dirty diapers and weight checks with your pediatrician or an IBCLC (a board-certified lactation consultant) say much more about whether feeding is going well. A tracker earns its place by keeping those records in one spot, so you’re not reconstructing the week from memory at the appointment.

Which breastfeeding app fits your family?

• You want it free and ad-free, with your partner: Robin Baby.
• You nurse, pump and use bottles: Robin Baby, or Nara Baby if you’d rather pay once.
• Sleep coaching matters as much as feeds: Huckleberry.
• You’re on a tight budget and want to pay: Pebbi or nappi.
• You own a Medela smart pump: Medela Family, alongside a tracker if you want free sharing.
• A nanny or daycare logs too: Baby Connect.
