Notebook
Baby tracking, sleep and feeding notes.
Practical guides on newborn sleep, feeding rhythms, growth percentiles and reading your baby log, written plainly and kept short. New here? Start with the week-by-week guide to the first year.
Growth
Growth percentiles are a curve, not a grade.
What the 25th percentile actually means, why the line across visits matters more than any single dot, and how noisy those measurements really are.
Diapers
Diaper counts: what's normal in the first weeks.
Why the wet count climbs day by day, how to tell wet from damp, what the colours mean, and the few combinations worth a phone call.
Both parents
Splitting the night without a spreadsheet.
Split shifts or alternating nights, the four facts every handover needs, and why the shared note on the fridge stops getting filled in by week two.
Feeding
Cluster feeding, explained (and why it's normal).
Why your newborn wants to feed again twenty minutes after the last one, what the evening clump looks like in your log, and the few signs that are worth a call.
Sleep
Nap or sleep stretch: which one actually matters.
Naps and the longest sleep stretch tell you different things. Which number to watch in your newborn's log, and which one is safe to relax about.
Reading the log
How to read your newborn's log in the first month.
The handful of patterns worth watching in the first weeks, feeds, diapers, sleep and weight, and the ones that are safe to ignore.
The best baby tracker apps in 2026, compared honestly.
Seven trackers, ranked by what each is actually best at: shared care, sleep prediction, price, simplicity and developmental leaps. Including where the others beat us.
