Best Baby Tracker Apps in 2026

Full disclosure: this is our app. And I'm going to be honest about what it does and doesn't do. ZenPregnancy is a pregnancy tracker, not a post-birth baby tracker. It covers the nine months before your baby arrives with week-by-week development updates, hypnobirthing meditations, a contraction timer, a kick counter, and due date tools.

During pregnancy, it's genuinely great. The meditation and hypnobirthing audio tracks are what most users love. The contraction timer is dead simple and works well when labor starts. And everything is free to start with, no paywall blocking the basics.

But once your baby is born, you'll need to switch to a dedicated baby tracker for feeding logs, diaper counts, and sleep schedules. ZenPregnancy doesn't have those features. I'm listing it first because if you're reading this while pregnant, this is the app you want right now. Then grab Huckleberry or Baby+ for after delivery.

If I had to pick one baby tracker app, it would be Huckleberry. The thing that sets it apart is SweetSpot, an AI feature that analyzes your baby's sleep data and predicts optimal nap times. It sounds gimmicky but it actually works. After about a week of logging, the predictions started lining up with when my kid was genuinely tired. Not perfectly every time, but often enough to be useful.

The basic tracking is fast. Two taps to start a feeding timer, one tap for a diaper change. You can log breast, bottle, and pumping sessions separately. The sleep log automatically calculates total sleep per day and shows you trends over weeks. When your pediatrician asks about feeding patterns, you just pull out your phone.

The free version handles all the basic logging. Premium (around $10/month) unlocks the sleep analysis, personalized schedules, and access to sleep consultants. Honestly, the free tier is enough for most parents in the first few months. You can always upgrade later when sleep training becomes a priority.

Baby+ (formerly Pregnancy+ after the baby phase split) is the most well-rounded baby tracker I've used. Philips has the resources to make something polished, and it shows. Growth charts based on WHO data, milestone tracking that's actually organized by developmental category, and daily tips that aren't just recycled blog posts.

The feeding tracker handles breast, bottle, and solids with portion logging. There's a built-in timer for nursing sessions that tracks which side you used last. If you've ever forgotten which breast you started on at 3am, you know why that matters. The sleep tracker is solid and shows day-over-day comparisons.

From what I've seen, the big advantage of Baby+ is that most features are free. There's no aggressive premium push. Philips makes its money selling baby products, not app subscriptions. That business model means you get a genuinely generous free app. The tradeoff is occasional product recommendations, but they're not intrusive.

BabyCenter tries to be everything for everyone, covering pregnancy through toddlerhood in a single app. And honestly, it does a decent job. The pregnancy side includes week-by-week updates and a due date calculator. After birth, it switches to baby tracking with feeding logs, diaper tracking, and growth tools.

Where BabyCenter really shines is the community. Birth month groups connect you with other parents whose babies are the same age. At 2am when your newborn won't stop screaming and you need someone to say "yeah, mine does that too," those forums are worth more than any feature. The content library is enormous and medically reviewed.

The actual tracking tools are fine but not outstanding. Logging a feeding takes a few more taps than Huckleberry. The interface is busier because BabyCenter is trying to surface articles, community posts, and tracking all at once. If you want a focused tracker, this isn't it. If you want a tracker plus a support community, it's hard to beat.

The Bump follows a similar model to BabyCenter: pregnancy and baby combined in one app. The pregnancy content is well-produced with fun 3D visualizations of your baby's size each week (comparing them to fruits and animals, which never gets old). After birth, it transitions into a baby tracker with feeding, sleep, and diaper logging.

The design is noticeably more modern than BabyCenter. It feels less cluttered, with better visual hierarchy and cleaner navigation. The registry integration is a nice touch if you're still in the planning phase. Content-wise, the articles are approachable and well-written without being condescending.

Where it falls short is the baby tracking depth. The logging tools are functional but basic. There's no AI sleep analysis, no detailed growth charts, and the diaper log is just a counter without much context. If tracking is your main need, Huckleberry or Baby+ do it better. If you want a smooth pregnancy-to-baby transition in one app with good content, The Bump is a solid choice.

Sometimes you don't want AI predictions, community forums, or weekly articles. You just want to tap a button when the baby eats, sleeps, or fills a diaper. Baby Tracker by Nighp is that app. It's been around for years and it's stayed focused on doing the basics well.

The home screen shows a clear timeline of your baby's day. Each entry is color-coded: yellow for feeding, blue for sleep, green for diapers. You can see patterns at a glance without drilling into charts. Adding entries is fast, and you can backfill times if you forgot to log in the moment (which will happen constantly).

It supports multiple babies, multi-caregiver syncing, and data export to CSV. That last one is surprisingly useful when you want to share feeding data with a lactation consultant or pediatrician. The free version is usable, with premium removing ads and adding some chart features.
