A newborn tracker for the first weeks
In the first weeks the days and nights run together. Chuwe remembers the feeds, the naps and the diapers so you do not have to, and shows you when the next feed is due.
Why track the first weeks
Newborns eat often, sleep in short stretches and go through a lot of diapers, and after a few nights it becomes hard to remember which side was last or how long ago they ate. Writing it down takes the guessing out of the next decision.
It also helps when someone asks. Pediatric visits in the first weeks often come with questions about feeds and diapers; with a log, you answer from what happened rather than from memory.
What to log (and what not to)
Start with what you will actually use. Most parents of newborns log feeds, diapers and sleep, and leave the rest switched off. In Chuwe you choose which activities appear, so the main screen stays short.
- Feeds: breastfeeding by side, or bottles with the amount
- Diapers: wet, dirty, mixed or dry, in one tap
- Sleep: start a timer, or add it later if you forgot
- Pumping, if you express milk
- Events you want to mention to the doctor, such as spit-up or fussiness
Next feed, estimated
You set the interval that fits your baby, and Chuwe counts it from the end of the last feed you logged. The estimate sits on the Today screen and, on iPhone, in a Home Screen widget, so a glance answers "how long until the next one?".
It is a reminder of the interval you chose, not advice about how often to feed: that is a conversation for your pediatrician.
At your pediatrician visit
Open the history or the calendar and you have every feed, nap and diaper by day. Chuwe describes what you recorded; it does not diagnose or interpret, and it is not a medical device.
Made for one free hand
Big buttons, timers that keep running if you close the app, and quick sessions for the feed you repeat most. A running timer stays on the iPhone Lock Screen or in an Android notification, so you can stop it without hunting for the app.
Frequently asked questions
What should I track for a newborn?
Most parents track feeds, diapers and sleep. Chuwe lets you switch on only those, and add pumping, solids or milestones later when they become relevant.
How often do newborns feed?
It varies from baby to baby, and the answer for yours should come from your pediatrician. The American Academy of Pediatrics publishes general guidance on HealthyChildren.org, linked below. Chuwe only reminds you of the interval you choose.
Can I export the log for my pediatrician?
You can export all your records to a .json file, which is a backup for moving to another phone rather than a report. At the visit, the history and calendar screens show each day at a glance.
Do I need an account?
No. Open the app and start logging; everything is saved on your phone. Only Family Cloud Sync asks for an account.
Can my partner log the night feeds too?
Yes. With Family Cloud Sync, each of you logs from your own phone and both see the same history, so whoever is awake knows what the other already did.
Is the newborn tracker free?
Yes. Logging feeds, breastfeeding, pumping, sleep and diapers, the timers, the next-feed estimate and the reminders are all free, with ads.
Can Chuwe remind me of the next feed?
Yes. Turn on the feeding reminder and your phone notifies you before the next feed is due, counted from the interval you set. It is a local notification; nothing is sent anywhere.
