But this app lets you create an entire schedule and reminders for your baby's day, from morning to night (and everything in between that you don't expect!), so that you don't miss an important feeding or forget how much you've fed them each day. The app gives you detailed stats on how often and how much your baby's fed as well as how much they're growing and what patterns you might otherwise miss in their daily activities.
