Made in between a diaper change and a bottle

A baby tracker from two unprepared parents.

We built one shared log for our house. Everybody who helps sees the same numbers on their own phone.

Free while it’s small. Invites go out by hand.

The question, twenty times a day

“When did he last eat?”

We asked each other this twenty times a day and kept getting it wrong. So we put the answer at the top of the screen: how long ago, how much, when the next one is due.

Three cards side by side: FED 2h 14m ago, 105 ml at 8:15, next about 11:15 AM; PUMPED 2h 55m ago, 125 ml; CHANGED 2h 16m ago.

Whoever logged it, on whichever phone.

The people who actually help

It takes a village

We added Nonna, Nonno and Zia. They log what they do, so the whole house works from one set of numbers.

Everybody else gets the photos. Your village will be bigger than you think.

The members screen: Jonah and Mara as Parent, Priya as Caregiver, Nonna Rosa as Gallery, each with when they last opened Milo.

The part everybody actually loves

One photo a day, for the people you chose

One picture a day, in a private gallery with a comment thread under it. Nonna writes something under every single one.

A streak you will not want to break.

The number your pediatrician gave you

How much he needs today, and how much he’s had

Our doctor gave us millilitres per kilo per day. We had to do that sum at three in the morning, for a baby who weighed something different every week. Milo does it now.

When the doctor changes it, the old days keep the old number, so last month’s chart still tells you the truth about last month.

These are rules of thumb. Your pediatrician’s number wins.

The whole Today card: 365 ml of a 600 ml target, 110 ml ahead for this hour, aiming at about 60 ml across four more feeds, with the day's bottles, pumped total, nappies, mama's-milk share, last nursing and the vitamin D tick.

Bottle, breast and pump

One log, however he is fed

Two taps for a bottle. Nursing records the time on each side and leaves the volume alone, because a guess would poison the totals. Pumping gets tracked on its own.

Everything is one tap from anywhere in the app.

Your pediatrician, and the bad night

Every new-parent question, ready when you are

We forgot every question by the time we reached the appointment, so now we queue them as they come. One page prints what our doctor asks for.

The emergency card holds who to call and what he weighs right now. We needed it once and did not have it.

One page, and it prints.

Why this exists

Our son was born at 35 weeks

An emergency C-section, weeks before we were ready, and a baby who had not yet learned how to eat. We counted millilitres on paper that first week, and lost the paper. We built Milo one bad night at a time, while we needed it.

We are parents too

We’ll keep it private and secure

We had these worries about our own son before we asked you to trust us with yours.

Your log is encrypted, walled off from every other household by the database itself, and the photos load through links that expire. Take it as a CSV whenever you like, or ask us to delete it.

We built the app we wanted and could not find. Now you can use it too.

On the phone in your hand

Milo installs to your home screen, and the same log opens on a tablet by the changing table or a laptop at the kitchen counter. A Nara Baby export imports in one upload.

The same log on a laptop: the day's numbers in the left pane, the growth curves in the right.
