Choosing an app
Baby Connect alternatives that stay free after a week
Baby Connect gives a seven-day free trial, after which a subscription is required to save new entries; without one the app is read-only. Its strengths are detailed health records, sharing with nannies and daycare, a web version, and plans for up to five or fifteen children. If you want to keep logging for free, Pixy keeps logging and a nap prediction fitted to your own child free with no trial, and Sofi states it has no paid tier at all.

General information, not medical advice. Every child develops on their own timeline and the ranges here are typical, not targets. Pixy is a tracking tool, not a medical device. For anything about your child’s health, ask your paediatrician or health visitor.
Track it instead of remembering it
Pixy logs sleep, feeds and routines from newborn to age 12, and predicts the next nap from your child’s own wake windows. That part is free.
