My partner just hit her third trimester and we are getting everything ready for when our first baby arrives. When our baby arrives we want to use one of those baby tracking apps that allow you to log when the baby was fed, when they pooped etc. I want to make sure whatever my partner and I use doesn’t sell our data.

We will need something that we both can use on our own phones and want it simple and easy to use. What did everyone use? Did you like it? Did it feel useful and safe?

This is probably too late for OP, but may be useful for others. Baby Buddy was such a nice tool to have when our daughter was really small. It’s a self hosted app, so needs a tech savvy dad/mom.

I struggled a little bit setting up, but boy it was worth it. As it was also connected to Home Assistant, I was able to show some nice stats and reminders on our kitchen dashboard. Plus I had a Hue switch lying which I was then quickly able to reprogram into quickly add feedings, and diaper changes into the database.

Great suggestion. We had the baby and have been using Huckleberry which has been nice.

Having more control is worth it if you want to self host the app
