Bubbi: Baby Tracker

Write down when they eat and when they sleep. Today shows the next nap and the next feed. At first this follows what is usual for their age. After a few days it follows your baby.

Memory Wall looks at photos on this phone from the day they were born. It groups faces. You tap the one that is your baby. Each photo goes in the week it was taken.

White noise, backed by research. Two parents can share the same log. Free. No ads. Nothing to buy.

THE DAY

Today is the home screen. You see if they are awake or asleep, what is next, and how the day is going.

- Next nap as a time range, for example between 14:05 and 14:50. Not one exact minute.
- Next feed on the same screen
- Add a breastfeed, bottle or pump in two taps
- Add food from the same place when they start solids. Bubbi names it breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack from the time
- Add sleep in two taps. Bubbi names it a nap or night from the time and how long it lasted
- Sleep, feeds and tummy time next to the usual amounts for their age. The bars fill when you add a row
- Look at a day, a week or four weeks, and see who wrote each row
- Change a row if you tapped the wrong thing

The times change when you add a new row. This is a suggestion, not a plan you have to keep.

MEMORY WALL

Bubbi looks through photos on this phone, starting from their birthday. It finds faces and puts the one that looks most like a baby first. You tap which face is your baby. Other people stay off the wall.

Each photo sits in the week you took it, so you can see them grow. A face from the first weeks still matches later months.

You can share one week, or share the year as one picture. Bubbi does not change your camera roll. Turn the wall off and it clears.

BOTH PARENTS

You can use everything without an account.

If two of you want the same log: sign in with Apple, send a four-digit code, and both phones show the same feeds and sleeps. Photos on the wall stay on this phone.

SIX SOUNDS

White noise has been studied. Spencer and colleagues (Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1990) found newborns fell asleep faster with it than without. That study is not a promise your baby will sleep.

Six sounds. Change from one to another and there is no quiet gap.

- Rhythmic Shush: a shush like a person. It starts louder, then gets quieter over five minutes.
- Womb Whoosh: a deep, soft pulse for fussing and settling.
- Whisper Count: a quiet voice counting from one to five hundred, then starting again.
- Ocean Waves: slow waves for the last part of settling.
- Dark Noise: deep and even, for the whole night.
- Classic White: bright and even, for voices, traffic, doors and day naps.

Five volume steps, from Whisper to Loudest. You can also change how deep and how fast the rhythmic sounds are. Play for 45 minutes, 2 hours, until 6:30, or keep going. When it stops, it fades. The sound keeps playing if you lock the phone.

Keep the phone two metres from the cot, not in the cot.

PLAY AND SETTLE

Ideas for their age. Open one and do it now, or add tummy time, play, a bath or a story.

FROM THE LOCK SCREEN

On many iPhones you can add White Noise, Feed and Sleep to Control Center, the Lock Screen or the Action button. The next sleep can show on the Lock Screen too. Siri and Shortcuts can play a sound, stop it, add a feed or add sleep.

If you are worried about their health or crying, talk to your doctor.
