Most baby trackers assume a typical baby. Sparrow tracks that baby too — and the one who comes home with a feeding pump, six medications and a bag of supplies.
Built by a parent, for the 3am version of yourself: one hand free, holding a baby, trying to remember whether that dose already happened.
ONE DAY, ONE TIMELINE Home is the day itself, not a grid of buttons. It shows everything that's already happened, a marker for right now, and what's still coming — so you can hand the phone to the other caregiver and they're caught up in a second.
LOGGING THAT TAKES ONE HAND
Feeds — nursing, expressed, formula, supplement or water
Tube feeds — bolus or pump, with a built-in rate calculator
Medications — dose, route and schedule, logged in a single tap
Diapers, sleep, pumping, solid food and symptoms
Every entry can be backdated when you log it late, because you will
Turn off what you don't use. A child with no G-tube never sees a tube feed screen, and a child who's never had formula won't find it in the picker.
A FEED THAT IS STILL RUNNING Start a pump or gravity feed and it counts down on the home screen — how much has gone in, how long is left, and at what rate. Pause it for venting or retching, and pick up exactly where you left off.
If a feed ends short, it's recorded as short — 140 ml of 200 planned, not a 140 ml feed that went as planned. That's the number worth flagging for your dietitian.
FOR TUBE-FED KIDS
A pump rate calculator that shows its working
Feeds and water flushes are tracked separately, so a flush counts as hydration and doesn't reset your feeding reminder
Supplies and equipment — change intervals, how many are left, expiry dates, cleaning checklists and condition photos. Logging a change takes one off the count
Reminders per content type: milk every 12 hours and water every 3, at the same time
REMINDERS YOU SET, NOT A CARE PLAN Sparrow doesn't invent a schedule — it reminds you of what you told it, on the interval you set, and shows what's due on the home screen.
MORE THAN ONE CAREGIVER Invite a partner, a grandparent or a night nurse with a code. Everyone sees the same day, and every entry records who logged it. Switch between children from any screen.
FOR APPOINTMENTS Keep a running list of questions so you stop losing them between visits. Share a visit summary as a PDF — recent intake, sleep, diapers, doses and your open questions — or export 90 days as a CSV.
Or share a day-by-day table of the last 7 or 30 days — intake by mouth and by tube, water, diapers, doses, sleep and weight, with totals and daily averages. It prints.
GROWTH AND MILESTONES Weight, height and head circumference over time, in your units. Milestones with the date you actually noticed them.
PRIVACY Your child's records belong to you and your household. Nothing you log is ever passed to advertisers. Sign in with Apple only, so there's no password to lose. Everything is stored under your account and readable only by the caregivers you invite. You can delete your account, and everything in it, from inside the app.
UNITS THAT MATCH YOUR CLINIC Millilitres or ounces, grams or pounds, Celsius or Fahrenheit. Change it once and every screen follows.
Sparrow is free, supported by a single banner ad on browsing screens. There are never ads on the medication screen or on any logging sheet.
Sparrow is a tracking tool, not a medical device. It doesn't diagnose, advise or check dosing. Always confirm doses, rates and feeding plans with your care team.
