1 Baby Tracker: Nursing
Baby Tracker: Nursing ($5) makes it easy to keep track of all those little breastfeeding details — did I start on the right or left last time? How long did the baby nurse and at what time? — in one easy-to-access place, eliminating the need for scribbling notes on scraps of paper in the middle of the night. The one-click timer makes it easy to use with one hand, and it also logs information for multiple babies, perfect for mamas of twins!
2 Breastfeeding Management 2
Breastfeeding Management ($2) was developed by the Massachusetts Breastfeeding Coalition to be a complete informational source for breastfeeding mothers, providing easy access to tons of helpful breastfeeding resources for new mothers.
3 Mommy's Milk
Mommy's Milk ($1) is another nursing app to help keep track of breastfeeding sessions — quantity, duration, which side was nursed on last, and more. There's also space to make additional notes about how each session went.
4 Baby Feeding Log
