In the first weeks everything blurs: when the last feed was, which side, how many nappies. A tracker is only useful if it records in two taps, one-handed, in the dark. Tymi brings feeds, bottles, sleep, diapers, measurements and notes together, then turns them into readable trends — and that tracking is free.
| What you log | Why | In Tymi |
|---|---|---|
| Feeds and bottles | finding the time and the side of the last feed without thinking | a timer for each side, history, trend for the day |
| Diapers | wet nappies are one of the signs followed with your health professional | a counter per type, seven-day trend |
| Sleep | watching a rhythm appear and seeing the next nap window coming | the day’s cycles, with no sleep method imposed |
| Length, weight, head circumference | following growth between two visits | curves and PDF export |
| Age | What official guidance says | What Tymi shows |
|---|---|---|
| The first few weeks | at least 8 to 12 feeds every 24 hours, often more (NHS) | the number of feeds since midnight, the time and side of the last one |
| Up to 6 months | breast milk only, on demand, following hunger and fullness cues (WHO) | the seven-day trend, with no target to hit and no score |
| Around 6 months and after | complementary foods are added, and breastfeeding can continue to 2 years or beyond (WHO) | feeds and meals on the same day |
| Bottle feeding | feed when your baby is hungry, and do not make them finish the bottle (NHS) | the amount you log, never a recommended amount |
Frequently asked questions
What is the best baby tracker app?
The one you can open at 4am without thinking. Look for two-tap logging, a night mode you can actually read, easy sharing with a partner or carer, and data that stays yours. Tymi works offline, with no account, and tracking is free.
How many feeds a day does a newborn need?
Newborns often feed 8 to 12 times in 24 hours, day and night, and the rhythm spreads out over the weeks. Treat it as a rough range, not a target: wet nappies and the weight curve matter more, tracked with your pediatrician or midwife.
How do I track my baby’s sleep?
Log when they fall asleep rather than chasing a daily total. Within a few days naps form a pattern and wake windows become visible. Tymi shows those cycles and flags the next likely nap window, without pushing any sleep method.
When should I start tracking my newborn?
From birth. The first hours in hospital are when you record the most: first feed, nappies, birth weight and head circumference. A newborn tracker only works if you can open it one-handed without putting your baby down, with no account or sign-up needed. Tymi is ready from first install, with no account, and tracking is free.
The number of feeds changes from day to day — is that normal?
That is exactly why the NHS marker is wide: at least 8 to 12 feeds every 24 hours in the first few weeks, often more. The WHO then describes feeding on demand, following hunger and fullness cues rather than a timetable. So Tymi shows a seven-day trend instead of a daily target; if weight gain, appetite or the number of wet nappies worries you, that is for your midwife, doctor or health visitor to judge.
How do I know which breast is next?
Tymi remembers the side of the last feed and shows it as soon as you open the app: exactly what you cannot recall at 4am. No official guidance says you must alternate to the letter — the WHO talks about responding to hunger and fullness cues. There is a timer for each side, usable one-handed, with the screen dimmed.
Can two parents track the same baby?
Yes, and it is an explicit choice. Family sync is end-to-end encrypted and only starts when you ask for it: while it is off, everything stays on the device.
How do I give a summary to the pediatrician?
Tymi builds a PDF on the device from what you logged — feeds, sleep, diapers, measurements — over the period you pick. Nothing is sent to a server to produce it.
When should a change in appetite or sleep worry me?
Tracking is not a diagnosis. The NHS publishes the signs that call for urgent medical help in a child under five. With a fever, a refusal to feed or unusual behaviour, call straight away.
This page gives general information. Tymi is not a medical device and does not replace advice from a midwife, doctor or pediatrician.
