nursing tracker
A live left/right timer
Start a breastfeed, switch sides, pause or resume, and save the per-side time when the feed ends.
Track the feed—not a feeding target
A nursing tracker that remembers the timer, side and handover.
Time breastfeeding by side, pause or switch sides, log pumping separately and keep feeds beside sleep and nappies with OBubba.
A clear answer
What should a useful nursing tracker remember?
A useful nursing tracker records when a breastfeed happened and the time spent on each side without pretending to measure milk intake. OBubba provides a live breastfeeding timer that can switch sides, pause and resume, keep running when minimised, and save the completed feed. Pumping is recorded separately, while feeds remain beside sleep, nappies and the shared baby-care timeline.
What to look for
Keep the details the next tired parent will need.
Start the live timer when the feed begins. OBubba can suggest a starting side from the most recent side-tagged feed, but the parent stays in control of switching, pausing, editing the start time and stopping the record.

Pumping stays distinct
Record a pumping session with its own duration and expressed amount rather than counting it as milk the baby drank.

One practical handover
Keep nursing, bottles and pumping beside sleep and nappies so another invited parent can see the same baby-care timeline.
The feed in front of you is enough
A four-step nursing log
You do not need to backfill every feed. Record the next real one and keep only the detail that helps your family.
Step 1
Start the live timer
Use the Breast tile when nursing begins. The timer can continue if the sheet is minimised.
Step 2
Switch or pause when needed
Change sides, pause and resume as the real feed unfolds; edit the start time when necessary.
Step 3
Stop and save the feed
The completed entry keeps the per-side nursing time in the baby-care timeline.
Step 4
Log pumping separately
Use the pumping record for expressed milk duration and amount so output is not confused with a feed the baby took.
A calmer boundary
Minutes are a record, not a milk measurement
- A nursing timer cannot measure milk transfer, supply, intake or whether a baby is feeding effectively.
- OBubba records what a family enters; it does not prescribe feeding frequency, duration or targets.
- Pumping output is not treated as a breastfeed the baby consumed.
- For concerns about latch, pain, nappies, alertness, weight, feeding or health, seek individual help from a midwife, health visitor, GP, paediatric professional, infant-feeding specialist or urgent service as appropriate.
Breast, bottle and pumping in one day
Mixed feeding should not require separate memories.
OBubba keeps breastfeeds, bottles and pumping as distinct records inside the same timeline, then places them beside sleep and nappies for a clearer parent handover.
FAQ
nursing tracker questions.
Can OBubba time breastfeeding on each side?
Yes. The live breastfeeding timer records time by side and supports switching sides, pausing, resuming and editing the start time before the feed is saved.
Does the timer measure how much milk my baby drank?
No. Nursing time does not measure milk transfer or intake. OBubba keeps a time record, not a milk-supply or feeding-effectiveness assessment.
Can I record pumping separately?
Yes. Pumping has its own record for duration and expressed amount so it is not counted as a feed the baby consumed.
Is OBubba useful for mixed feeding?
Yes. Breastfeeds, bottles and pumping remain distinct records inside one baby-care timeline.
