How to use this tool
This tracker helps you monitor your baby's feeding patterns, which is critical especially in the first weeks of life. It takes 10 seconds to log each feed.
- 1Select feed type
Choose from Breast Left, Breast Right, Both Breasts, Formula/Bottle, Expressed Milk, or Solid Food. Tracking which breast you used last helps ensure even supply.
- 2Enter duration in minutes
How long did the feed last? For breastfeeding, count from when baby latched. For bottle, count until finished. Even a rough estimate (5-15 min) is helpful for pattern tracking.
- 3Add amount (for bottle feeds)
If using formula or expressed milk, enter how many ml your baby drank. This is especially important if your paediatrician is monitoring intake.
- 4Log and watch the stats
Tap "Log This Feed." The stats at the top update instantly. Feeds today, time since last feed, and average duration. Your history shows the last 30 feeds.
Newborns need 8-12 feeds in 24 hours. But more important than the count is the interval. If your baby goes more than 4 hours without feeding in the first month, wake them to feed. This tracker shows you "Since last feed" at a glance.
Your newborn is feeding fewer than 6 times in 24 hours. Your baby is not producing 6+ wet nappies per day by day 5. Baby seems excessively sleepy, difficult to wake for feeds, or is losing more than 10% of birth weight by day 5.

Free and accessible. Royal Childrens Hospital Melbourne, Westmead in Sydney, Queensland Childrens, Perth Childrens. These are the specialty ED centres for serious cases. For rural and remote families, telehealth through 13Health in Queensland or HealthDirect federally is critical. Royal Flying Doctor Service covers the genuinely remote stuff.

What Australian mums actually deal with
Aussie mums tend to be pragmatic about baby illness. Cultural default leans toward "she will be right." Combined with reasonable access to nurses and GPs, this generally works. The Maternal and Child Health Nurse system is a treasure of the Australian health system. Use it without hesitation. Telehealth normalised during COVID and stayed normalised, which is genuinely useful. The unique Aussie concerns are bushfire smoke season and extreme summer heat. Babies are more vulnerable to air quality than adults. Sun and heat exposure can cause apparent fever via overheating. Always check core temperature properly (rectal or under-arm thermometer), not just the forehead, especially in summer.
