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.

How baby feeding tracking care actually works in Canada
Canadian pediatric care runs through provincial public health. Your health card covers everything: ER visits, family doctor appointments, walk in clinics. OHIP in Ontario. RAMQ in Quebec. MSP in British Columbia. Each province slightly different but the principle is the same. Pediatric specialty hospitals serve as referral centres. SickKids in Toronto. BC Childrens in Vancouver. CHEO in Ottawa. Sainte Justine in Montreal. The 811 health line is your first call for after hours triage. Available in most provinces. Many Canadians do not have a family doctor right now (the shortage is real). Walk in clinics and Telus Health Virtual Care fill the gap. Wait times are the main frustration with the system.
In Canada, call 811 for free 24/7 health advice (available in most provinces). For emergencies, call 911. Pediatric specialty hospitals (SickKids in Toronto, BC Children, CHEO in Ottawa, Sainte-Justine in Montreal) have specific after hours services. Your provincial health card covers all of this. Telus Health TM Virtual Care also provides pediatric consultations.
What Canadian moms actually deal with
Canadian parents are generally pragmatic and reasonably trusting of the medical system. Wait times frustrate everyone. The family doctor shortage frustrates everyone more. Cultural norm is to call 811 first, then decide between walk in clinic, family doctor, or ER based on what they tell you. Winter respiratory illness season is brutal in Canada. November through March, intense circulation of RSV, flu, and COVID. Babies under 6 months are at highest risk for complications. The RSV prophylaxis program (nirsevimab, brand Beyfortus) is now standard. Free through provincial programs in most provinces. Ask your family doctor or call 811 to confirm eligibility for your baby.
