Eight baby tracker apps, by how each one shares the log
Huckleberry, Baby Tracker, Glow, Nara, ParentLove, Baby Connect, Daily Nanny and ours, by price and by how a partner or nanny shares the log.
Compare › Best baby tracker apps
Quick answer
Sleep predictions and sleep plans: Huckleberry. Free, if ads are fine: Baby Tracker. AI forecasts on a paid family plan: Glow Baby. Free caregiver logins with view-only or edit access per child and feature: ParentLove. A deeper tracker every caregiver shares, with growth percentiles, vaccines, charts and Alexa: Baby Connect. A nanny's timesheet with overtime, on iPhone: Daily Nanny. A nanny with their own login that ends on a date you set, a shift log with weekly hours and a thread with you, on one household price: ours.
Every app on this list logs a feed, a diaper and a nap well. Where they differ is the second person. A baby log is only useful if whoever has the baby right now writes in it, and that is a partner at 3 a.m., a grandparent on Tuesdays, or a nanny forty hours a week. How that person gets in, what they can see, and whether you can tell their entries from yours is what separates these apps.
This list runs from a login the household shares to caregivers with accounts of their own, and ends with the two built around a nanny's hours. We make one of the eight and it is marked, and it is not a baby tracker first: it is a household app with a baby log in it. Prices are from each product's own pages, checked in October 2026. Several publish no price on their site, and for those we quote the App Store listing and say so.
The list
Best for: Sleep predictions and sleep plans, with one login the household shares
The tracker most parents have heard of, and the reason is sleep. The free app logs sleep, feeds, pumping, diapers, solids, medicine, growth against WHO percentiles and milestones, with reminders and basic reports. Plus adds SweetSpot nap and bedtime predictions from two months, a schedule creator, logging by text, voice or photo, and iPhone widgets and an Apple Watch app. Premium adds personalized sleep plans built from its sleep consultants' strategies, and an AI chat. Sharing is the catch for a nanny: its help pages say a second caregiver signs in to the same account on their own phone. Everyone sees everything, paid features included, and its pages describe no record of who logged an entry and no way to remove one caregiver. CSV export, one file per child.
Cost: Free; Plus $11.99/mo or $68.99/yr; Premium $14.99/mo or $119.99/yr. Fourteen-day Premium trial with no card.
Best for: A free, widely used tracker on iPhone or Android, if ads are fine
Nighp's Baby Tracker has more App Store ratings than any other entry here, over 227,000, and its core logging is free: breastfeeding by side, bottles, solids, pumping, diapers, sleep, medicine, vaccines, temperature, milestones with photos, and growth against WHO standards. Plus removes the ads and adds What's Next, on-device cues for the next nap, feed and diaper. Records export as a PDF to email or print, and it has widgets, Live Activities, an Apple Watch app and Siri. Caregivers share by joining a sync group with the group's email and password, so like Huckleberry it is one shared login, with no per-person access. The free app shows ads, and its App Store privacy label lists identifiers as data used to track you.
Cost: Free with ads. Remove Ads $4.99 once; Plus $5.99/mo or $49.99/yr, and one Plus subscription covers everyone in the sync group. Prices from its App Store listing; its site publishes none.
Glow Baby
Best for: AI forecasts and charts, for a family that will pay for the Family Plan
Glow's free app is a complete tracker: feeds, pumping, diapers, sleep, growth charts, milestones, temperature, symptoms and medicines. Premium removes the ads and adds AI forecasts of the next nap and feed, pattern charts, weekly reports and PDF and CSV export. The catch for a nanny is the price of sharing: its help centre says adding a second caregiver needs the Premium Family Plan, which then covers unlimited caregivers, each invited by email to each baby and removable with Disconnect. The iPhone app's last update was November 2025, and its App Store privacy label lists data used for third-party advertising.
Cost: Free with ads. Premium $69.99/yr, $39.99 a quarter or $99.99 for life; Family Plan $89.99/yr. Prices from its help centre; its website and App Store listing quote lower ones.
Nara Baby
Best for: Invited caregivers with their own accounts, on Apple devices especially
Nara invites partners, grandparents and caregivers to the baby's account, each signing in as themselves, and its handoff view shows the day's routine and the latest diaper change to whoever takes over. Timers run as Live Activities on every caregiver's phone. It tracks breastfeeding and pumping by side, bottles, solids, diapers, sleep and wake windows, weight, height and head size, medicines, vaccines and milestones, plus the parent's own pregnancy and postpartum. It runs on iPhone, Apple Watch, Mac and Android. What we could not find on its own pages: what the paid purchases add, how many caregivers can join, and whether a caregiver's access can be limited.
Cost: Not published on its site. Its App Store listing shows in-app purchases from $6.99 a month to $99.99 for life, and neither says what they unlock.
ParentLove
Best for: Free caregiver sharing with view or edit access per child, and a one-time price
The most generous sharing on the list for nothing: unlimited caregivers, each with their own login, invited by a private link that sets access per child and per feature, view or edit. Timers sync for a 3 a.m. handoff, and medicine reminders can notify every caregiver. It tracks feeds, pumping with a milk-stash inventory, sleep, diapers, solids and allergies, milestones, growth against WHO percentiles, doctor visits and illness. Trends beyond seven days, health charts, a pediatrician PDF and CSV export are paid, either one by one or in Pro. Nothing renews, and there is a 30-day money-back guarantee. The free app shows Google ads. It runs on iPhone and Android, with no watch app.
Cost: Free with ads, unlimited caregivers included. Pro $24.99 or ProFamily $39.99, paid once; single add-ons $9.99 to $11.99 each.
Best for: A nanny or daycare, with messages between caregivers and a web app
Built for more than one caregiver from the start. One subscription covers every family member and caregiver, with no limit on how many link to a child; each signs in with their own account, invited from the child's profile, and caregivers can exchange messages. After the trial, entries are read-only without a subscription. It tracks feeds, nursing, solids, pumping, sleep, diapers and potty, medicine, vaccines, temperature and growth against CDC and WHO percentiles, with timers, alarms and charts, and exports CSV or HTML reports by email for a pediatrician. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Android, Apple Watch and the web, and works with Siri and Alexa. Its pages describe no shift or hours log, and no way to limit what one caregiver sees. The same company sells Daily Connect, a separate app for daycare centres.
Cost: Not published on its site. Its App Store listing shows a Family plan, up to 5 children, at $29.99 for six months or $49.99 a year, plus a $6.99 option whose period it does not state; Professional, up to 15 children, $14.99. Seven-day trial.
Daily Nanny
Best for: A nanny's own timesheet, with overtime and pay, beside the day's log
The one specialist here built around the nanny rather than the baby. The nanny clocks in, or enters a past shift, sets an hourly and an overtime rate, and sees what they are owed; parents mark shifts paid and keep the payment history. Around that sit the day's log of naps, bottles, nursing, meals, diapers, medicine and activities, daily and weekly reports, photos and videos with comments, shared events, and one group message thread, with parents notified as entries come in. Its listing says one Premium subscription covers the spouse, co-parent and nanny. Against it: it is iPhone and iPad only, its listing is the only source we could reach (its website did not load when we checked), it has about a hundred ratings, and its listing describes no growth charts or export.
Cost: Free; Premium $4.99 or $39.99 a year, and one subscription covers the whole care team. Prices from its App Store listing.
Chickadee Bandit
That's usBest for: A nanny with their own login that ends on a date you set, and a shift log beside the baby log
One app in a household library, not a product built around babies. Baby Log takes one-tap feeds (breast, bottle or solids), pumping with amounts, diapers, naps with a running sleep timer, and notes, with a daily summary and the log searchable, for more than one baby. The nanny is a household guest with their own login, access for up to a year that ends by itself or the moment you press End now, and sight of only the apps you grant. They log under their own name, can finish a nap a parent started, start a shift when they arrive and leave a handoff note when they go, and the Shifts tab totals each person's hours for the week. A parent can open a message thread with the nanny. Other apps on the same plan fill some of the gaps: Medication Tracker shows a care-team nanny the medicines you mark, to tick each dose as given, and tells you when one is still unticked thirty minutes late, Health Cards shows them the allergy and doctor card, Milestones keeps the firsts, and Expense Splitter keeps the nanny's pay. Against it: anyone with the app can log, so there is no view-only caregiver and no limiting one person to one baby; there are no growth charts, no sleep predictions, no feed reminders, no pediatrician report and no watch or voice logging; entries expire after two years; and the export is the household's whole data, as machine-readable files. If tracking is the whole job, every entry above goes further.
Cost: $6/mo or $60/yr for the whole household, up to 10 members, with every app in the library. A nanny joins as a guest at no extra cost. 30-day trial, no card, no ads.
Prices and features are from each product's own site as of October 2026; where a product has a head-to-head page here, its entry restates that page. Products change — always check the other product's site for current details.
Choosing between them
- If sleep is the problem, Huckleberry's predictions and sleep plans are what it is known for.
- If you want free and do not mind ads, Baby Tracker logs nearly everything without paying.
- If you want AI forecasts and will pay for the whole family, Glow Baby's Family Plan.
- If you want caregiver logins for free, with view-only or edit access set per child and per feature, ParentLove.
- If you want a deeper tracker that every caregiver shares — growth percentiles, vaccines, temperature, charts, and Alexa — Baby Connect.
- If the nanny's hours, overtime and pay are the main thing and everyone has an iPhone, Daily Nanny.
- If the nanny should have their own login that ends on its own, a shift log with weekly hours, a thread with you, and nothing else of the household's in view, on one household price, that is what we built.
One login, or one each
Huckleberry and Baby Tracker share the log by sharing the account: the second caregiver signs in with your email and password. It is quick, and for two parents it is often fine. For a nanny it means they see everything the account holds, nothing records which of you logged what, and the only way to take access away is a new password for everyone. Glow, Nara, ParentLove, Baby Connect and Daily Nanny invite each caregiver as themselves. ParentLove goes further and sets what each person can see or change. Ours makes the nanny a guest whose access ends on a date you choose.
What a nanny needs that a parent does not
A parent wants to know when the baby last ate. A nanny's employer also wants to know when the shift started, when it ended and what to know before the next one, and at the end of the week, the hours. Of the specialist trackers, only Daily Nanny keeps shifts, and it goes further than ours on pay: an hourly and an overtime rate, what is owed, and which shifts are paid. Baby Connect has messages between caregivers but no shift log. Ours puts the shift, the handoff note and the week's hours in the same app as the feeds and naps, and pay in Expense Splitter beside the household's other costs.
What free really means
Huckleberry's free app is a full tracker without predictions. Baby Tracker, Glow and ParentLove are free with ads, and ParentLove includes unlimited caregivers in that. Glow charges for a second caregiver at all. Baby Connect is a seven-day trial, after which the log is read-only. Daily Nanny is free, with Premium on one subscription for the care team. Nara publishes no price on its site. Ours has no free version: a 30-day trial, then one household price that covers the nanny and every other app in the library.
The feature list is not fixed
Every other product on this page is a fixed set of features: it does what it does, and a need it did not anticipate gets a no. Chickadee Bandit is built from small apps, and a household can add one of its own. An admin describes the app in a paragraph on the Apps page and the hub builds and installs it, using the AI credits that come with every plan; someone who writes code can start from any of the open-source apps and install their own version from a URL. A custom app gets the same checks as the ones we ship: it declares what it reads and writes, keeps its data in your household's own database, and the hub refuses anything it did not ask for.
Where this list comes from
We make one of the products on it, and it is marked. Every claim about another product was checked against that product's own pricing and feature pages on the date above — not against another review site — and where we could not find a published price we say so rather than quote one. The order is by what each product is for, not a ranking of merit.
