My Milk Stash vs PumpLog®
What are we comparing?
If you're an exclusive pumping parent, finding the right app to track your sessions and manage your stash can feel overwhelming. You need something that fits seamlessly into your already-packed routine — not another tool that creates more work.
My Milk Stash and PumpLog® are two solid options in the breast milk tracking space. PumpLog® has been the "go-to-app" since 2014 and built a loyal following among EP moms, while My Milk Stash is the newer, AI-powered contender that aims to be a complete pumping companion. Both track pumping sessions — but they take very different approaches to helping you manage your journey.
Full disclosure: We are the creators of My Milk Stash. While we are proud of our app, we wrote this guide to honestly compare its features with PumpLog to help you decide which tool fits your pumping journey.
In this comparison, we'll break down both apps feature by feature, highlight their strengths and weaknesses, and give you an honest verdict. Let's dive in.
My Milk Stash
In-depth look
My Milk Stash is a premium AI-powered breast milk tracker and pumping log that goes beyond basic session tracking and inventory management.
Strengths
Multiple Storage Types & expiration rules
Track your milk across over 100 locations with multiple storage types — far beyond the basic stash monitoring of most competitors.
The Freedom Number™
A unique feature that analyzes your freezer stash against your baby's daily intake and tells you the exact date you can stop pumping. For EP parents, this is a game-changer.
Full Pumping Log with Timers & Reminders
Tracks every pumping session with side-specific logging, duration timers, volume recording, and trend analytics.
AI-Powered Insights (Dalo AI)
A 24/7 AI assistant that analyzes your patterns and offers personalized tips to optimize your supply and schedule. It can explain why output dropped or suggest adjustments based on your data.
Dalo Family Bundle Integration
Connects with My Nap Plan (sleep tracking) and My Smart Solids (baby food) to surface 'Neural Insights' — like correlating a bad night's sleep with calorie intake, not just a pumping schedule issue.
Digital Pitcher & FIFO Rotation
Dedicated Digital Pitcher feature for tracking pitcher method batches, plus smart FIFO expiry alerts so you always use the oldest milk first.
Full Guest Access for Caregivers
Share full access with caregivers, grandparents, or nannies so everyone managing feeds stays informed and in sync.
Responsive Support
Customers praise the developers for fast support and excellent focus on developing new features.
Cross-Platform: iOS & Android
Available on both iOS and Android, so your partner or caregiver can access your data regardless of what phone they use — unlike iOS-only competitors.
Apple Watch Support
Log sessions and check reminders directly from your wrist — convenient for middle-of-the-night pumping sessions.
Unified timeline
In all Dalo Family Apps you can track diapers, food, naps, medicine, vaccines and see all your baby's events across apps in one timeline to get the most complete, holistic view - even at 3 AM.
Weaknesses
Newer App, Smaller Community
My Milk Stash has a smaller but fast-growing community compared to Pump Log's decade-long head start.
Subscription Model
While there's a free tier, full AI features and advanced analytics require an affordable subscription.
PumpLog
In-depth look
PumpLog is the most well-established breast milk tracking app on the market, serving the exclusive pumping community since 2014. It's widely regarded as one of the original dedicated EP tracking apps.
Strengths
Established Track Record
PumpLog has been around since 2014 with thousands of five-star reviews. It's battle-tested and trusted by a large community of EP moms.
Excellent Pumping Session Tracking
Detailed session logging with time, volume, side tracking, and notes. The core pumping log experience is reliable and well-refined over the years.
Countdown Calculator
Set a feeding goal and the app estimates how many more days of pumping you need. A helpful feature for EP parents working toward a finish line.
Apple Watch Support
Log sessions and check reminders directly from your wrist — convenient for middle-of-the-night pumping sessions.
Home Screen & Lock Screen Widgets
Quick-glance widgets for iOS that keep your pumping schedule visible without opening the app.
Smart Insights
PumpLog has a number of smart insights & statistics to help you optimize your pumping routine.
Weaknesses
iOS Only — No Android Support
PumpLog is exclusively available on iOS. If your partner, caregiver, or nanny uses Android, they're completely locked out.
Basic Stash Management
While Pump Log offers stash monitoring, it lacks advanced features like multiple storage types, dedicated pitcher method support, QR code tracking for bags, expiration deadlines for each storage type.
No Combo Feeding Support
Pump Log is designed purely for exclusive pumping. If you combo feed with formula or direct breastfeeding, you'll need a separate app to track those feeds.
No AI insights or support
There are no AI-powered recommendations or open-ended chat support.
No Growth Tracking or Baby Milestones
There's no way to track your baby's weight, height, or developmental milestones alongside your milk data.
No Integrations
Pump Log is a standalone app. It doesn't connect with sleep trackers, baby food apps, or growth trackers — meaning you'll need multiple apps to get a full picture of your baby's health.

The Bottom Line
Both apps are well-built — but they serve different needs and different eras of breast milk tracking.
Choose PumpLog if you're an iPhone-only household, exclusively pump, and want a straightforward, no-frills session tracker with a proven decade-long track record. PumpLog does the basics excellently — session logging, reminders, widgets, and a countdown calculator — and its one-time purchase means no recurring charges. If simplicity and familiarity are your top priorities, it's an extremely solid pick.
Choose My Milk Stash if you want an all-in-one pumping companion that does everything PumpLog does — and a bit more. AI-powered insights actively help you optimize your supply, the Digital Pitcher tracks pitcher method batches, and support for multiple storage locations with FIFO rotation keep your stash organized at scale. Add in combo feeding support, Android compatibility, full caregiver access, baby growth tracking, and Dalo Family Bundle integration with sleep and solids tracking, and you have a tool that genuinely grows with your family. The free trial lets you try everything risk-free and for 1 child the total subscription price is under that of PumpLog.
Our bottom line: My Milk Stash wins 9 out of 17 categories, with 6 tied and 2 for PumpLog. PumpLog pioneered dedicated EP tracking and deserves credit for that — but My Milk Stash represents the next generation. If you want intelligence, not just logging, My Milk Stash is the clear choice for 2026.
