The fireflies · a little light of hope

You are never up alone.

On the OBubba sleep timer, every golden firefly is another parent awake at the very same moment — glowing softly on your night sky. The loneliest hour of parenting becomes a little less lonely.

"Fireflies are a symbol of hope. Each firefly you see is another parent up at the same time, lighting your sky with hope."

Live presence · the fireflies glow in real time as other parents settle their little ones

Each glowing firefly represents another parent awake at the same time — a quiet reminder that the 3am hours are shared, even when they feel lonely.

For the whole family

Care that doesn't depend on one tired recap.

When the whole baby day lives in one place, everyone who helps can actually help — without a five-text handover or a hurried doorstep briefing.

Partner Sync

Keeps both parents on the same live picture in real time — feeds, naps and night wakes update for both of you at once. See how to connect both phones.

Bubba Care handovers

Share the latest context with grandparents, nurseries and babysitters, so care never depends on a tired recap.

Parent Room

Holds a little space for how you are doing, not just the baby — because tired parents matter too.

One place from bump to baby

Keep the useful picture together.

Pregnancy tools, everyday tracking, contextual guidance and invited-family sharing live in one app, so the record can move with your family.

Privacy by design

Your baby's data is yours.

Tracking your baby means trusting us with something precious. We treat it that way — no selling, no ad profiles, no feeding your baby's life into someone else's AI.

Clear storage choices

OBubba explains how device storage, cloud backup and family sharing work in its current Privacy Policy.

No third-party ads

OBubba says it does not sell parent data and does not include third-party advertising.

AI choices explained

Built-in Luna answers can work without sending a question to Google; optional deeper AI answers are described separately in the Privacy Policy.

Read the full Privacy Policy for exactly what is stored and how.

Learn about baby sleep

Baby sleep makes more sense once you can see it.

Newborn sleep feels random because it is hidden — scattered across a long day and two tired memories. When you can see the pattern, the 3am questions get quieter. Here are a few of the ideas OBubba is built around.

Wake windows, not the clock

Young babies settle best after a set amount of awake time, rather than at fixed clock times. Watch the window and overtiredness has less room to build.

Catnaps are normal

Short, frequent naps are typical in the early months while sleep cycles mature. A 30-minute nap is not a failure — it's a newborn being a newborn.

Night wakes aren't a verdict

Waking in the night is biology, not a sign you've done something wrong. Seeing the weekly trend — not one rough night — is what makes it feel survivable.

Wind-down beats willpower

A calm, repeatable run-up to sleep — dimmer light, quieter room, the same few cues — usually helps more than any single trick.

Every baby is different

Charts describe averages, not your baby. OBubba learns from the little person in front of you and adjusts as they grow.

Shared sleep, shared record

When everyone can see the same nap log, nobody has to hold the whole day in their head or repeat every detail at handover.

Age
Awake time, very roughly
Newborn (0–3 months)
around 45–60 minutes
3–6 months
around 1.5–2.5 hours
6–12 months
around 2.5–3.5 hours
12 months and up
around 3.5–5 hours

These ranges are a loose starting point, not a target — real babies vary enormously and that is normal. OBubba personalises to your baby as you log. This page is general information, not medical advice; for any worries about your baby's sleep, feeding, growth or health, please speak to your health visitor, midwife or GP.

— The OBubba Fireflies, on the baby sleep timer
Our story

OBubba was built by a mum — me.

I didn't set out to build an app. I set out to survive the newborn fog — the 3am feeds, the "wait, which side was it?", the handover texts that never quite captured the day. The tools I found felt like spreadsheets bolted to a stopwatch. None of them understood that I was tired, that my baby wasn't a chart, and that the person taking over needed context, not a data dump.

So I built the thing I wished existed: an app that helps hold the practical details, reflects your baby's logged rhythm, and lets the people who help actually help. Every feature in OBubba started as a real moment in my own home — the fireflies, the timing guides, Bubba Care handovers, all of it.

OBubba is still mine to look after, and I read every message that comes in. If it makes one night feel a little less lonely, it's doing its job.

FAQ

Everything parents ask before downloading.

How does OBubba predict my baby's naps?
OBubba learns from your baby's logged feeds, naps, wake windows and night sleep. Personal guidance begins around day four, and the picture can become clearer across roughly the first fortnight. These are guides, not guarantees; follow your baby's cues.
What makes OBubba different?
OBubba keeps pregnancy tools, baby tracking, contextual sleep guidance, growth, milestones and shared care in one place. It is designed to reduce handover friction without asking families to track every moment.
Does it lock me into a rigid schedule?
No. OBubba follows your baby's real patterns rather than forcing a fixed routine. Guidance is gentle and responsive, and you can turn predictions and coaching on or off whenever you like.
Is OBubba free?
Yes — OBubba is free to download and start using on iPhone, Android and the web. Premium unlocks deeper personalised insights, reports and extra sharing, but the core sleep and feed tracking are free.
Can my partner, grandparents or nursery see it too?
Yes. Partner Sync keeps both parents on the same live picture in real time, and Bubba Care gives babysitters, grandparents and nurseries a simple, up-to-date care page — so handovers never depend on one tired recap.
Is my baby's data private?
OBubba has no third-party advertising and says it does not sell parent data. Family sharing is invitation-based. Read the current Privacy Policy for details about storage, cloud backup and optional AI features.
What age is OBubba for?
From pregnancy (with a free kick counter and contraction timer) through the newborn months and into toddlerhood — covering sleep, feeds, weaning, growth and milestones the whole way, with preterm correction built in.
