Easy Breastfeeding Tracker is built for two: log breastfeeding, bottle feeds, and pumping sessions in seconds, and watch them sync instantly with your partner so you're always on the same page, even when you're not in the same room. Track everything that matters: - Breastfeeding sessions, by side and duration - Bottle feeding, with volume and milk type - Pumping sessions and output See the full picture on your dashboard Every entry feeds into a clear, visual dashboard so you can spot patterns at a glance — how often, how much, and how your baby's rhythm changes week to week. Built to share Create an account, invite your partner by email, and you're both logging to the same baby profile in real time. No more texting "did you feed her yet?" — just open the app and check. Log from your wrist The Apple Watch app starts and stops feeds and pumping sessions in a tap, and records which side. It saves on its own, so it keeps working when your phone is in another room or switched off. Simple enough to use one-handed at 3am, detailed enough to bring real insight to pediatrician visits. Easy Breastfeeding Tracker helps you and your partner stay in sync on your baby's feeding — together.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

GentleBirth Contraction Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GentleBirth Contraction Timer has 91 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 95% of GentleBirth Contraction Timer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Easy Breastfeeding Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

GentleBirth Contraction Timer ships an update every 9 days, Easy Breastfeeding Tracker every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
