Here is how we compared. Prices and features checked on September 4, 2026 For exclusive pumping, choose a tracker built around the pump session rather than the feed. Dalo Milk Stash covers the most ground — combo feeding, multi-baby, guest access, both platforms; Pump Log is the most established but iOS only; Nara Baby is the best free option. No app increases supply — frequency and drainage do. ![Best baby feeding tracker for exclusive pumpers](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.sanity.io%2Fimages%2F87uht7oc%2Fproduction%2F8ae64d5d1a54cb4dab8a1e7920118e698bad1e33-1376x768.jpg%3Frect%3D176%2C0%2C1024%2C768%26w%3D800%26h%3D600%26fit%3Dcrop%26auto%3Dformat&w=3840&q=75) ## Key takeaways - For an exclusive pumper the pump session is the primary object, not the feed — most trackers have that the wrong way round. - No app increases supply. Frequency and effective drainage do, and hand techniques with electric pumping raised production 48% in one study. - Pump Log is the most established app here but is iOS only, with no caregiver access, no multi-baby support and no combo feeding. - $19.99 once and $19.99 a year cost the same in year one, so a one-time price is a smaller advantage than it sounds. - Watch the 24-hour total and session count, not your best single pump — feeds ranged from 6 to 18 in 24 hours in Kent's data.

[Before you install anything](#before-you-install-anything) Most baby feeding trackers are built around a nursing baby. Feeds are the primary object, and pumping is a secondary event you can also record. If you are exclusively pumping, that model is backwards: **the pump session is your day**, and the feed is a downstream consequence of it. The apps worth your time are the ones that agree. ## What exclusive pumping changes about a tracker Three things, and they are the difference between an app you keep and an app you delete in week two. - **The interval matters more than the session.** What you need at 3am is not a form — it is the answer to "how long has it been, and am I late?" before you are properly awake. - **The meaningful total is 24 hours, not one pump.** Individual sessions swing wildly with time of day. A tracker that celebrates a big morning pump and stays quiet about the daily total is measuring the wrong thing. - **Logging has to be one-handed and forgiving.** You are holding flanges. Anything requiring two hands, a scroll and a confirm will not survive a week of real use. No app will increase your supply Worth saying before the recommendations, because the marketing in this category implies otherwise. Milk production responds to how often and how thoroughly the breast is drained, not to what is on your phone. An app can make frequency visible, remind you, and stop you losing count — all genuinely useful, none of it a substitute for pumping. If your supply is the problem, the app is not the intervention. The evidence behind that is unusually clear. Reviews of the principles for maintaining and increasing production come back to frequency and effective drainage rather than any single technique.[\[2\]](#ref-km) And the one intervention with a striking measured effect is physical, not digital: combining hand techniques with electric pumping increased milk production substantially in mothers of preterm infants.[\[3\]](#ref-mo) Your hands beat your software. +48% the increase in milk production when hand techniques were combined with electric pumping (Journal of Perinatology, 2009)[\[3\]](#ref-mo) ## The shortlist Eight apps, split by whether the pump session or the baby is the primary object.

Pumping is logged but not the focus iOS Free; $59.99/year Feeding trackers for exclusive pumping, checked 4 September 2026 ## What we would pick, and when ### The most capable for exclusive pumping: Dalo Milk Stash This is our app, and we are ranking it first, so here is the basis rather than the adjective. For an exclusive pumper it does the whole job in one place: sessions logged by side, duration and volume; supply trends across weeks; **combo feeding** for breast, bottle and formula, which Pump Log by its own description does not cover; multi-baby support; full guest access so whoever does the 4pm bottle can see the plan; Apple Watch and lock-screen widgets; and both platforms. The output then feeds a dated freezer inventory that returns the Freedom Number — the date your stash and your baby's intake say you can stop. What it is not is established: 42 ratings against Pump Log's 5,804, and a subscription rather than a one-off. ### The most established, if you are iPhone-only: Pump Log Pump Log has been refining one job since 2014 and does it beautifully: timer, custom reminders, session logging by side and volume, output trends, a countdown calculator against your goal, an Apple Watch app and widgets. 5,804 ratings at 4.9 stars is the largest body of real feedback in this category by an order of magnitude, and that track record is worth something no feature list can fake. The limits are structural rather than matters of taste. It is **iOS only**, there is no caregiver access, no multi-baby support and, by its own listing, no combo feeding — it is built for people who pump and only pump. On price: $19.99 once against our $19.99 a year is **a tie in year one**, and Pump Log's win from month thirteen. Most exclusive pumping runs do not get that far. ### For the least thinking at 3am: Piaora Piaora's entire pitch is reducing mental load: how long since the last pump, what comes next, no arithmetic. That is genuinely the right target for the night shift, and 317 ratings at 4.9 stars suggests it lands. Two caveats. It is a pump log rather than a whole-day tracker, so bottles, nappies and sleep live elsewhere. And at $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year it is the most expensive option here — roughly twice Pump Log's one-time price, every year. Search for it on the App Store under \*Breast Milk – Pumping Tracker+\*; the name Piaora appears everywhere in the app's own copy but not in its store title. ### If pumping is only part of the picture: Nara Baby or ParentLove Nara Baby is free, ad-free, showed no in-app purchases on the date we checked, and carries 23,368 ratings at 4.9 stars — the strongest free option in this comparison, with a per-side pumping timer and clean caregiver sharing. ParentLove was designed with an IBCLC and adds WHO growth charts and PDF/CSV export for appointments, at $24.99 one-time for Pro. Neither treats pumping as the centre of the day: no stash inventory, no exclusive-pumping framing, and ParentLove's Milk Bank is a separate $11.99 purchase. For a combo-feeding household either is an easy recommendation. For an exclusive pumper they are good general trackers you will end up supplementing. ## The number your app should be putting in front of you Not your best session. Your 24-hour total, and how many sessions it took. Breastfed infants in one detailed study fed a mean of 11 ± 3 times in 24 hours, with a range from 6 to 18, and intake varied far more between babies than the per-feed figures suggest.[\[1\]](#ref-ke) Pumping output behaves the same way: morning sessions run high, evening sessions run low, and a single number from either tells you almost nothing. - Look at the **daily total** and the **session count**, and compare weeks rather than days. - Treat a dip of one bad session as noise. Treat three days of falling totals as a signal. - If your app only shows you the last pump, it cannot answer the question you actually have. - Check what an app does with a **missed session** — the honest ones let you log it late rather than silently losing it. Local guidance on expressing and storing is worth reading alongside whatever the app says, because your own health service is what your midwife or health visitor will be working from.[\[4\]](#ref-bm2) ![](/_next/image?url=%2Fimages%2Fmilk-stash-icon.webp&w=256&q=75&dpl=dpl_HDQuuA58EiAncPne4fumhEvNhdFC) Dalo Milk Stash Built for the pump session, not for a nursing baby Dalo Milk Stash logs sessions by side, duration and volume, shows supply trends over weeks rather than sessions, and feeds every ounce straight into a dated freezer inventory. Free to start. [Dalo Milk Stash](/apps/dalo-milk-stash) ## What we left out, and why Bambii and Pumping Schedule: Milk Log are both in the table above because their feature sets are relevant, but neither can be recommended yet: 13 ratings and three ratings respectively. A five-star average across three reviews is not evidence about an app, it is evidence about three people. Erby is well established at 373 ratings, but its App Store listing shows overlapping premium tiers from $2.49 to $49.99 rather than one clear plan, and we are not willing to tell you what it costs when the listing itself is ambiguous. We also left out breast pump manufacturers' own companion apps as a category. They are usually free and usually fine, but they are built to serve one pump rather than your whole day, and they tend to lose their reason to exist the moment you change hardware. ## Before you install anything The app is the smallest part of this. A pumping routine that fits your day is what determines whether exclusive pumping is sustainable — [a pumping schedule for exclusive pumpers](/learn/breastmilk/exclusive-pumping-schedule) covers building one around work, and [power pumping](/learn/breastmilk/power-pumping) covers the one scheduling change with an actual evidence base behind it. If what you are really trying to solve is the freezer rather than the day, start with the [stash tracker comparison](/learn/breastmilk/best-breast-milk-stash-tracker-apps) instead. In this article 1.

It depends on your household before it depends on features. Pump Log is the most established and the most refined, but it is iOS only with no caregiver access — so if anyone else feeds your baby from an Android phone, it is out. Dalo Milk Stash, which we make, covers the widest ground for an exclusive pumper: combo feeding, multi-baby, guest access, both platforms, and the stash joined to the pump log. Can a tracking app actually increase my milk supply? No. Supply responds to how often and how thoroughly the breast is drained. What an app can do is make frequency visible, remind you, and stop you losing count — real help, but not the intervention. The change with the best measured effect is physical: adding hand techniques to electric pumping. Is there a good free tracker for pumping? Nara Baby is the strongest free option here — no in-app purchases listed on the date we checked, ad-free, and 23,368 ratings. It has a per-side pumping timer and shares across caregivers. It is a general baby tracker rather than a pumping app, though, so it has no stash inventory and no exclusive-pumping framing. How many times a day should I be pumping? There is no single number, and an app that gives you one with confidence is overstating what is known. Breastfed infants in Kent's detailed study fed a mean of 11 times in 24 hours with a range of 6 to 18. Exclusive pumping is usually built to land in that range early on, and the useful measure is your 24-hour total rather than any one session. ![Dalo Milk Stash](/_next/image?url=%2Fimages%2Fmilk-stash-icon.webp&w=128&q=75&dpl=dpl_HDQuuA58EiAncPne4fumhEvNhdFC) Get it on your phone Dalo Milk Stash [Dalo Milk Stash](/apps/dalo-milk-stash) Part of [Pumping, supply and milk storage: the complete guide](/learn/breastmilk/pumping-supply-and-storage) ## Keep reading [ ![](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.sanity.io%2Fimages%2F87uht7oc%2Fproduction%2Fede4d7aa03c940345f29ad630f84ce31e17ecb16-1376x768.jpg%3Frect%3D7%2C0%2C1363%2C768%26w%3D440%26h%3D248%26fit%3Dcrop%26auto%3Dformat&w=3840&q=75) ### A pumping schedule for exclusive pumpers, including working parents Build the schedule from removals per 24 hours, not clock times: how many at each stage, where the night pump fits, how to work around a job, and how to drop sessions safely. ](/learn/breastmilk/exclusive-pumping-schedule)[ ![](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.sanity.io%2Fimages%2F87uht7oc%2Fproduction%2F9194c4b5cea4f05158e08fda8941895cfbf100cf-1376x768.jpg%3Frect%3D7%2C0%2C1363%2C768%26w%3D440%26h%3D248%26fit%3Dcrop%26auto%3Dformat&w=3840&q=75) ### Power pumping: the schedule, and what the evidence actually shows An hour of broken-up pumping that imitates a cluster feed.
