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 the United Kingdom
UK pediatric care runs through the NHS. Generally well organised. Can feel slow at peak times. Your first call is usually NHS 111. Free, 24/7. They triage what is going on and tell you what level of care to seek. Sometimes a GP appointment via e-Consult. Sometimes A and E. Occasionally an ambulance. Out of hours GP services run evenings and weekends. Walk in centres and Urgent Treatment Centres handle the mid range stuff. A and E is for genuine emergencies, not routine fever queries, where you can wait many hours. For babies under 3 months though, A and E is the right call regardless. The NHS Pharmacy First service can also handle minor childhood things now without a GP appointment.
In the UK, call NHS 111 for non-emergency advice 24/7. For emergencies, call 999. Many GP practices have an after hours triage line. Your Health Visitor is also a valuable resource for baby questions during weekday hours. Pharmacies like Boots offer free advice from pharmacists for non-emergency concerns through the Pharmacy First service.
What British mums actually deal with
British mums often feel pressure to wait it out before bothering the NHS. This is wrong thinking. NHS 111 was designed for exactly these calls. Staff are trained to triage and there is genuinely no judgment for calling. Health Visitors are an underused resource. They expect to hear about concerns in young babies. They can advise on what is normal during teething (mild temperature elevation, yes). True fever above 38 Celsius is something else and worth a proper assessment. British medical practice runs more conservative on medication than American practice. Calpol is the workhorse. Talk to your GP or pharmacist before alternating with Nurofen, NICE specifically does not recommend routine alternating.
