About

Baby Log Live

Features
Read full description

BabyLog is the shared log for two parents raising a baby together — feeds, nappies, sleep, weight and notes, all in one place, synced instantly between you and your co-parent. No more texting "when did she last eat?" No more two separate notebooks. Log an entry on your phone and your partner will be notified as soon as it happens. WHAT YOU CAN TRACK • Feeds — breast (left/right with a timer), bottle, formula or solids, logged in seconds • Nappies — wees and poos, with real colour swatches and a consistency slider so you can spot patterns and describe things clearly to your health visitor • Sleep — start and stop a live sleep timer, or add sleep after the fact • Weight — log check-ins and watch a growth chart build over time • Notes — a running, handwriting-style journal for the little things worth remembering • Vaccinations — keep a record of what's been given and when BUILT FOR TWO Share a 6-digit code with your co-parent and you're both instantly linked to the same baby. Every entry either of you logs appears for both of you — no accounts to merge, no spreadsheets to reconcile. MAKE IT YOURS Reorder the main-screen log buttons to match your routine, switch to dark mode, and let "since last" chips keep the essentials at a glance — how long since the last feed, wee, poo or nappy change. A LITTLE MOTIVATION Logging consistently unlocks achievements — including a secret one for the most dedicated parents. It's a small thing, but so is getting through another early morning feed. INSIGHTS nsights turns your feed and sleep history into simple trend charts so you can spot patterns over days and weeks. PRIVACY Your baby's data is stored securely and only ever shared with the co-parent you invite.
