"How long has the baby been feeding?", "Did I nurse on the left or right side last time?", "How much did they eat today?" These questions pop up with every feeding session. BebeSnap's feeding tracker lets you manage all feeding records with just one-hand taps.

Why Track Feedings?

Baby feeding records are more than just notes.

Why you need to track:

  • Monitor feeding intervals: Check if baby is eating regularly
  • Track intake: Ensure baby is eating enough each day
  • Find patterns: Discover when baby feeds well or poorly
  • Health check: Sudden decrease in feeding could signal issues

Especially useful when doctors ask "How many times and how much does your baby eat per day?" - you'll have accurate answers ready.

FAQ

Q: Can I record later if I forgot the start time?

Yes, you can modify the time when recording. Tap the time to change it in the record screen. However, using the real-time timer gives more accurate records.

Q: How do I record night feedings?

You can open the app to record at night, or enter records in the morning by adjusting the time. The real-time timer lets you record with just one button tap even when drowsy.

Q: What if I mix formula with breast milk?

Best to record each separately. You can see breast milk/formula ratio in statistics later. Mixed feeding stats are shown separately.

Q: I entered a record wrong.

Tap the record in the list to edit or delete it.

Q: Does it alert me if feeding intervals are too short or long?

You can check average feeding intervals in statistics. AI health reports also provide feeding pattern analysis.
