It’s 2 am in the morning and the milk monster needs another feed. Bleary eyes and baby brain leaves little room for keeping tabs on which side you last breastfed on, and this is where a tailormade breastfeeding app comes in handy.
Simple to use and view at a glance, modern breastfeeding apps are designed to digitally record and track mums breastfeeding journey. With hi-tech features that include tracking baby feed times, which side you last fed, expressing and storing milk, checking your medications, getting advice and support – and so much more.
Breastfeeding apps put a personal assistant in your pocket.

Tips for choosing a breastfeeding app
Thinking of getting a breastfeeding app? We asked the huge Mum’s Grapevine Facebook community for their favourites:
“I had a simple notepad and pen” said Katie
“We love the Huckleberry app here 
bub one is 18 months old and bub two is due in June, we’ve used Huckleberry from the start, not just tracking breastfeeding, but also nappy changes and sleep, we have it on both hubby and my phone so it’s automatically synced and we don’t have to tell each other when we last changed/fed/ napped bub as it’s all there” said Sam
“I just use Baby Tracker, it tracks everything if I want but I only use it to remember which side I’m up for next in my sleep-deprived state.” said Kimberley
“For the first week or two, I used huckleberry. This was only because you’re running on next to no sleep and needing to find your groove. After that, it’s gone. Rely on my baby following that. Nappy output, weight gain, sleep and her mood etc .” said Anna.
“Baby Tracker great to 3 months then moved to Huckleberry for the sweet spot for naps/bed” said Rebecca
