Open HouseloopA newborn tracker for the fourth-trimester chaos
A newborn tracker is an app for logging your baby's feeds, diapers, sleep and growth so you can see patterns instead of guessing. Houseloop tracks all of that and, unlike single-user trackers, keeps both parents in one shared picture: when one parent logs a feed or diaper in real time, the other gets a phone notification. Feed, diaper and nursing logging plus partner notifications are free.
Free to start, with a 7-day trial on Plus. Use it in your browser.
Feeds, diapers, sleep and growth in one log
Track bottle amounts in ounces, nursing by left or right side with per-side duration, pee and poo diaper counts, and multi-waking sleep sessions. Add growth, milestones and starting solids as your newborn grows, so the whole fourth trimester lives in one timeline instead of scattered notes.
Both parents in the same picture
Log a feed, diaper or nap in real time and your partner gets a notification on their phone ("Dad logged feed 4.5 oz"). No more asking "did you already feed her?" at 3am. Both phones stay in sync, so whoever is holding the baby has the full history.
Patterns you can actually see
The trends chart nets night wakings, counts wet diapers, and can show an optional 24-hour clock so you can spot the rhythm forming under the chaos. It is the difference between guessing whether feeds are getting further apart and knowing.
Ready for the pediatrician and the sitter
Pediatrician Mode turns your logs into a visit summary to print or share, and a Daycare Sheet plus a revocable read-only link lets a caregiver see the day without needing an account. You walk into the newborn check-up with real numbers, not a foggy memory.
What should a newborn tracker actually track?
In the first weeks the numbers that matter are simple: how much your newborn is eating, how often, wet and dirty diaper counts, and how sleep is broken up across the night. Houseloop logs bottle amounts in ounces, nursing by side with duration, pee and poo diapers, and sleep sessions that can have several wakings in one stretch. That covers what a pediatrician asks about at the early weight-check visits.
As the fourth trimester goes on you can layer in growth measurements, milestones, starting solids, and a milk or formula inventory with use-by dates so you never discover an empty tin at midnight. Everything stays in one baby timeline rather than three different apps.
How do two parents share the same newborn tracker?
Houseloop syncs across both parents' phones on web, iOS and Android. When one of you logs a real-time feed, diaper or nap, the other gets a notification, so you both work from the same history instead of comparing notes. Partner notifications, feed and diaper logging, nursing-by-side and baby duty are all on the free tier.
For the newborn nights, Baby Duty Autopilot lets you set who is on duty so the next feed reminder routes to that parent instead of waking the whole house, and two parents can alternate whole nights. There is also a parent recovery side: log water, meals, meds, pumping and rest, and "protect my nap" hands the baby to your partner for two hours.
Is Houseloop free, and what is in the paid tier?
It is free to start. The free tier covers feed and bottle-amount logging, nursing by side, diaper logging, partner notifications and baby duty, which is enough to get both parents through the newborn weeks.
The Plus tier adds sleep tracking for every night waking, growth, milestones, the vaccine schedule, supply inventory, the trends chart, the Daycare Sheet, Pediatrician Mode, AI Baby Brain Dump, parent recovery and caregiver sharing. Plus is a paid upgrade with a 7-day trial. Houseloop is also more than a baby tracker: the same engine runs your household tasks, so nothing gets dropped once the newborn fog lifts.
Questions
Does the other parent get notified when I log a feed?
Yes. When you log a feed, diaper or nap in real time, your partner gets a notification on their phone, for example "Dad logged feed (4.5 oz)". This works on the free tier. It only applies to real-time logs, not back-dated entries, and the other parent needs the app installed with notifications turned on.
Can a newborn tracker log both breastfeeding and bottles?
Yes. Houseloop logs nursing by left or right side with per-side duration, and separately logs bottle amounts in ounces. You can track combination feeding without switching apps, and the trends chart pulls it all into one picture.
Does it track newborn sleep and night wakings?
Yes. Sleep tracking on the Plus tier records multi-waking sleep sessions, so a single night stretch with several wakeups is captured accurately. The trends chart nets those wakings so you can see how fragmented the nights actually are.
Can I share newborn logs with a pediatrician or sitter?
Yes. Pediatrician Mode creates a visit summary you can print or share, and a Daycare Sheet plus a revocable read-only caregiver link lets a sitter or grandparent see the day without creating an account. You can revoke the link at any time.
What devices does the newborn tracker work on?
Houseloop works on web, iOS and Android and syncs across both parents' phones in real time. It is free to start, and the Plus tier is a paid upgrade with a 7-day trial.
