Simple nursing tracking, made for sleep-deprived moments. MilkTimer is a calm, one-tap breastfeeding tracker for new moms. No sign-up, no ads, no clutter — just open the app, tap a side, and it remembers everything else. When the next feed comes around, MilkTimer suggests which side is next so you can think about your baby instead of timers. Built for the way new moms actually feed • One tap to start, one tap to stop • Smart side suggestion based on your last sessions • Pause, switch, and edit sessions without losing your place • Log manual sessions for pumping or bottle feeds Glance, don't unlock • Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island during a feed — see the side and timer without opening the app • Between feeds, see "Time since last feed" and the suggested next side at a glance • Optional reminders if it's been too long Hands free with Apple Watch and Siri • Start, pause, switch sides, and stop right from your wrist • Ask Siri: "Start nursing in MilkTimer", "Which side?", or "How long since last nursing?" Your data, your iCloud • Sessions sync privately across your iPhone and Apple Watch through your own iCloud — no third-party accounts, no servers • Optional, anonymous usage stats you can turn off anytime in Settings Free. No ads. No subscription. Made by a parent for parents. If MilkTimer helps you through the early weeks, that's the whole point.

Baobei is the simplest way for two parents to keep track of a new baby together — feeds, sleep, and diapers, all in a couple of taps, synced instantly between both phones. Made for the blur of the newborn weeks: open the app, tap once, and get back to your baby. FEEDS, THE WAY THEY ACTUALLY HAPPEN • Breastfeeding with a split timer — start on one side, tap Switch, and Baobei tracks each side for you • Bottle feeds (breast milk or formula) • Pause and resume any timer when you get interrupted SLEEP & NAPS • One-tap nap timer with where they slept (crib, car, carrier, contact, couch, or your own spots) • See total sleep at a glance PUMPING & TUMMY TIME • Log pumping by side and amount, with daily totals and trends • Tummy time timer with daily goals you set DIAPERS • Log a wet or dirty diaper instantly • A friendly "diaper duty" scoreboard between caregivers SHARED IN REAL TIME • You and your partner share one baby — log on either phone and it appears on the other instantly • Invite a friend or grandparent with view-only access to follow along • Babysitter mode: hand off a 24-hour code so a sitter can log feeds, sleep, and diapers without making an account SEE THE PATTERNS • Daily, weekly, and monthly trends for feeds, sleep, and diapers • Compare today to yesterday and to your 7-day average • Feed-side balance by time, sleep-by-location, and more LITTLE MILESTONES • Records and personal bests — longest nap, longest feed, busiest days • A celebration when a new record is set SCHEDULE & GOALS FOR THEIR AGE • See when the next feed is likely due, counted from the start of the last one • Daily targets for feeds and wet & dirty diapers, based on CDC, AAP, and NHS guidance for your baby's age — or set your own • Turn it off anytime if you'd rather not see targets ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN & APPLE WATCH • A live nap or feed timer on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island — pause, switch sides, or stop without opening the app • Tap it to fix the side or nudge the time while it's still running • Apple Watch app: start a feed or nap and log diapers from your wrist HANDS-FREE WITH SIRI • "Hey Siri, start a left feed in Baobei" · "Baby's asleep in Baobei" · "Log a wet diaper in Baobei" · "How long has the baby been sleeping in Baobei?" Baobei keeps it calm, fast, and shared — so you can spend less time in an app and more time with your baby.

The clearest difference is update cadence: Baobei at every 2 days against MilkTimer's every 6 months. Baobei also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
