Nursling Breastfeeding Tracker
Read full descriptionHide full description
Nursling is a breastfeeding tracker built for one moment: 3am, one hand free, a baby in the other arm. It answers the only two questions that matter โ which breast comes next, and how long since the last nursling started โ and it records a nursling in a single tap. ONE TAP Open the app and the button is already set to the right breast. Tap it. That's the whole interaction. No confirmation screen, no dialogs, nothing to dismiss. IT REMEMBERS FOR YOU Nursling starts you on the breast you finished on last time, so you never have to remember. Switched sides mid-nursling? It knows, and it still counts as one nursling. BOTTLES TOO Log a bottle with its amount and whether it was formula, expressed milk or something else. Track breastfeeding, bottle feeding or both, and change it any time in Settings. A bottle never changes which breast comes next. TRACK WITHOUT OPENING THE APP Start a nursling straight from the Home Screen widget, from Control Centre, from the Action Button, or by asking Siri. A Live Activity shows the current side while you're nursing, and ends the moment you finish. TIME BETWEEN NURSLINGS Measured from the start of one nursling to the start of the next โ the number you actually want at a glance. BUILT FOR NIGHT A dark palette that won't wake anyone, buttons big enough to hit without looking, and a distinct haptic for every action. EASY TO CORRECT Undo any tap. Change a time or a side afterwards. Delete a nursling you logged by mistake. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your nurslings never leave your device. No account, no cloud, no analytics, no ads, no tracking of any kind. Export everything to CSV whenever you like โ that stays free forever. SIMPLE PRICING The first 50 feeds are free, nurslings and bottles alike. After that, a single one-time purchase unlocks unlimited tracking. No subscription. Your history and your export always stay available, whether you buy or not. Nursling is a log, not medical advice. For questions about feeding, weight gain or supply, talk to your pediatrician.
