Feedoo Baby vs. a paper feeding log
A paper log is cheap, private and works without a phone, which makes it a great fit for one caregiver at home. Feedoo Baby costs a monthly fee but works out the next feed time and daily totals for you, sends reminders, and lets every caregiver log from their own phone.

How is Feedoo Baby different from a paper log?
Both do the core job: a record of feeds and diapers you can show your pediatrician. The differences are in effort, sharing and what gets worked out for you.
| Topic | Feedoo Baby | Paper log |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | $24/mo per baby after a 14-day free trial (no card to start) | A notebook or printed sheet and a pen |
| Next feed time | Worked out from the last feed and your interval | You add it up yourself |
| Daily milk total | Added up automatically, shown against a typical range for age | You add it up yourself |
| Diaper count | Counted automatically per day | Count the tally marks |
| More than one caregiver | Everyone logs from their own phone; entries show who logged them | One sheet in one place; everyone has to find it |
| Reminders | Push reminders before feeds, for late feeds, overdue diapers and appointments | None (use a separate alarm) |
| At night | Dark themes on a phone you already have in hand | Needs a light to read and write |
| Needs power or internet | Yes, a phone and a connection | No |
| Where the data lives | Your account, online, visible to people you invite | In your house |
| Weekly trends | Day, week and month stats with charts | Flip back through pages |

Which one should I use?
Whichever keeps you rested and informed. Here's an honest split.
Choose a paper log if…
- One person does almost all the feeds and the log stays in one room.
- You'd rather not look at a screen at night.
- Your hospital gave you a printed sheet and it's working for you.
- Keeping cost at zero matters most right now.
Choose Feedoo Baby if…
- Two or more people feed the baby and need the same information.
- You want the next feed time and daily totals without doing math at 3am.
- You'd like a reminder before the next feed or when a diaper change is overdue.
- You want to see trends over a week or a month.
What else do parents ask?
More answers on our FAQ page.
Is a paper log good enough for tracking newborn feeds?
Yes, for many families. A paper log records what matters: time, amount or minutes, and diapers. Its limits show up when several people share the care, or when you want totals, next-feed times and reminders without working them out yourself.
Can I switch from a paper log to Feedoo Baby mid-way?
Yes. Start logging in Feedoo Baby from your next feed. If you want past days in the app, you can add earlier feeds with the time picker, but most parents simply start fresh.
Can I use both?
Sure. Some families keep paper by the bed for the night and use Feedoo Baby during the day so helpers can see it. Whatever keeps you rested and informed is the right setup.
How much does Feedoo Baby cost?
$24/mo per baby, with unlimited caregivers on that baby. You start with a 14-day free trial and no credit card. If you like it, subscribe when the trial ends to keep logging. You can cancel anytime.
