What Should You Track for Your Newborn?
During your baby's first 3 months, tracking these essentials helps ensure healthy development and gives you peace of mind that your newborn is thriving.
1. Feeding Times & Amounts
Why it matters: Newborns need to eat frequently—typically every 2-3 hours. Tracking feedings ensures your baby is getting enough nutrition, helps you spot cluster feeding periods, and provides critical data for your pediatrician to monitor growth.
What to track: Time of feeding, duration (for breastfeeding), amount (for bottles), and which breast you last nursed from.
2. Diaper Changes
Why it matters: Diaper output is one of the best indicators that your newborn is eating enough and staying hydrated. Pediatricians use wet diaper counts to assess newborn health, especially in the first few weeks.
What to track: Time of change, type (wet, dirty, or mixed), and any unusual colors or consistency worth noting.
3. Vitamin & Medicine intake
Why it matters: Keeping track of your newborn's vitamin and medicine intake is crucial for their health and development. It ensures they receive the necessary nutrients and medications on time, and helps you avoid double dosing.
What to track: Type of vitamin/medicine, dosage, time of administration, and any reactions or side effects.
📊 Why Newborn Tracking Matters:
- • Ensures your baby is eating and growing properly
- • Provides accurate data for pediatrician visits
- • Helps you identify patterns and establish routines
- • Reduces parental anxiety—you have the facts
- • Makes it easy to share updates with partners and caregivers
- • Alerts you to potential issues (not enough wet diapers, unusual patterns)

Newborn Tracking Tips for First-Time Parents
Start Tracking from Day One
The hospital will ask about feeding times and diaper output. Starting your tracking habit from birth means you'll have accurate data when your pediatrician asks. Plus, those first days set the foundation for understanding your baby's patterns.
Don't Stress About Perfect Data
If you miss logging a feeding or diaper change, it's okay! The goal is to track trends, not achieve perfection. Noora Baby makes it so easy that you'll naturally build the habit without stressing over every detail.
Use Dark Mode at Night
Bright screens during nighttime feedings can make it harder to fall back asleep—for both you and baby. Enable dark mode in Noora Baby's settings to keep everything dim and soothing during those 2am sessions.
Share with Your Partner from the Start
Set up device sharing on day one so both parents can track feedings and changes. This prevents the "did you feed baby?" confusion and ensures whoever is on duty has the latest information.
