Daily totals, feeding logs, sleep tracking, and real-time caregiver sharing — all front and center, no digging required. It's the baby tracking app you'll actually want to open at 3am. SEE HOW TODAY IS GOING Tiny Tracker shows how today compares to your baby's typical day — right now, at this point in the day. Up 3oz by 7am? Behind on sleep by noon? You'll know at a glance, without doing the math. TOTALS ALWAYS FRONT AND CENTER Daily feeding and sleep totals are on your home screen the moment you open the app. Every logged item is easy to view and edit — because mistakes happen, especially at 3am. FEEDING TRACKER Track bottle feeds, breastfeeding, formula, and solid foods. Log ounces, track which side, and never lose track of the last feed again. SLEEP TRACKER Time every nap and overnight session. See daily totals, day vs. night breakdowns, and 7 and 30-day trends. Spot patterns before they're obvious. DIAPER LOG One-tap logging for wet and dirty changes. See how many today and how long since the last one. TRENDS FOR YOUR PEDIATRICIAN 7 and 30-day trends turn your logs into real data — so you can walk into any appointment with answers, not guesses.

CRADLE — BUILT BY PARENTS, BACKED BY SCIENCE Sleep is everything. For your baby. For you. The science on infant sleep is clearer than it's ever been — wake windows, sleep cycles, age-appropriate nap totals — and the families who use it well sleep more. Cradle puts that science to work in real time so you can build a healthy schedule and actually keep it. We built Cradle because we'd been there: pacing the hallway at 3 a.m. with one app open and a baby in the other arm, every chart empty, every answer generic. So we made the tool we needed — less friction, real guidance, made for parents, by parents. —————————— WHY PARENTS PICK CRADLE • One-tap logging for sleep, feeds, diapers, pumping, and solids — built for the moments you barely have a free hand • SweetSpot predictions — Cradle learns your baby's natural rhythm and tells you when the next nap is coming • Live Activity on your lock screen and Dynamic Island — glance at the running nap without unlocking your phone • AI sleep coach (Lila) — ask anything, get age-appropriate guidance grounded in pediatric sleep science • Mom check-in — the only baby tracker that also asks how YOU are doing today • Multi-caregiver sync — partners, grandparents, sitters all see the same live data, no double-logging —————————— FULL FEATURE LIST SLEEP TRACKER • Track every nap and night sleep — start, stop, edit, delete • Live Activity timer on the lock screen as your baby naps • Daily sleep total, longest stretch, sleep-through milestones • Wake-window predictions tuned to your baby's age and patterns FEEDING TRACKER • Breastfeeding timer with left/right tracking • Bottle feeding — formula, expressed milk, supplement • Solids logging with custom foods and reactions • Pumping sessions and volume tracking • Feed-time predictions so you're never caught off guard DIAPER TRACKER • Wet, dirty, both — one-tap log • Daily diaper count, dryness streaks, leak tracking NEWBORN ROUTINE & SCHEDULE • Visual daily timeline of every event • 7-day, 30-day, and 12-week pattern view • Coach view: today's plan with anchored wake, feed, and nap windows INSIGHTS & REPORTS • "Nights are getting better" and "Nap sweet spot" — actionable callouts • Sleep stretch trend, day-night ratio, feed cadence • Pediatrician PDF export — bring your data to the next appointment • Age-banded milestones (4-month regression, sleep through, ≤8 feeds/day, and more) YOUR WELLBEING • Once-a-day mom check-in — five moods, optional follow-up, private to you • Trends surface in your Reports tab — caregivers never see your check-ins • 3 pushes a day max — never during your quiet hours —————————— INFORMED BY PEDIATRIC SLEEP RESEARCH Cradle's wake-window guidance follows widely accepted pediatric sleep practices and is informed by published research on infant sleep patterns. The Coach surfaces YOUR baby's actual data over time, so the routine you build is grounded in observation — not just generic age-band averages. Cradle is a tracking and observation tool, not a medical product. For sleep concerns or developmental questions, consult your pediatrician.
