What's the easiest way to track baby feeds at 3am?
The one that takes the fewest taps while you're holding a baby. In Lunita you open one sheet, pick breast, bottle or solids, and save — or just say "right breast, 12 minutes" and confirm with a single tap. Every feed is timestamped, works offline, and stays private to your family.
Feeding tracking is really about patterns
Nobody logs feeds for fun. You do it because at the six-week check the paediatrician asks how often, how much, and which side — and because at 4am you genuinely cannot remember whether the last feed was left or right. A feeding log turns a sleep-deprived blur into a pattern you can actually read.
The catch: the tracking only works if logging is faster than the thing you're tracking. If it takes thirty seconds and both hands to record a feed, you stop doing it by week two. So the real test of a feeding tracker isn't its feature list — it's how it behaves when you're exhausted and one-handed.
Three feed types, built for one-handed reach
Lunita's feed sheet covers the three ways babies actually eat:
- Breast — tap left or right and a live timer runs until you stop it. No mental math about which side was last.
- Bottle — a stepper adds millilitres in 10 ml increments (up to 500 ml), so you set the amount without typing.
- Solids — a quick food field for once weaning starts ("sweet potato", "first banana").
The buttons are deliberately large and reachable with a thumb, and the sheet dismisses the moment you save — it doesn't make you wait for the network. If you forgot to log in the moment, you can add a past feed with the correct time later.
Or skip the screen entirely: log by voice
When both hands are busy, tap the microphone and say what happened. Lunita recognises the speech on your device, parses it into a feed entry, and shows a confirm card — high-confidence parses save in one tap, and anything unclear pre-fills the form instead of writing silently. You can even narrate two events at once. The full hands-free flow is described under hands-free baby tracker, and the same on-device speech powers the voice baby diary.
Both parents, one timeline
Feeds you log appear for your co-parent too, with a "logged by" name so nobody double-feeds during a handover. The log is offline-first: it saves instantly and syncs when you're back online. Tracking is the practical tool; the warmer side of the app — the shared daily question and the diary — lives in a baby app for both parents.
Private by design — and no HealthKit
Infant feeding data is health data, so Lunita asks for explicit consent before your first log and keeps care data visible to your family only — never in the shared diary. There's no HealthKit integration and no ad-tracking SDK. Why that matters, and what to ask any tracker, is in our piece on a baby tracker without an account and on a private baby diary app. The feeding, sleep and diaper log is part of Lunita's free core; AI features like monthly stories are the optional Premium layer.
