Where it began
The app started with a simple problem: we couldn’t always remember which side my wife last fed from — or for how long. Sleep-deprived nights made even the basics tricky.
That’s why I built the Timer first: press start, press stop, see the duration. Nothing more, nothing less.
Daily clarity, at a glance
Next, I added the Today view: a clean, scrollable list of the day’s feeds — start, end, duration, with the side clearly marked (blue for left, red for right).
This approach helped us feel calmer and more certain — exactly what I described in How Logging Feeds Gave Me Peace of Mind.
From helpful details to real insight
Over time, I tucked simple stats under the daily list — average duration and time spent feeding. Seeing those numbers helped my wife trust the rhythm. That’s when I knew it was working.
Those insights now live in a dedicated Statistics space:Time Spent Feeding,Average Duration,Average Interval,Feeds Per Day, and a gentle Feeding Trend.
If you’re curious how these fit into the bigger picture, I wrote about it in A Complete Guide to Baby Feeding Apps and our story in The First Growth Spurt.
