For me, a recovering project manager and bossy big sister, I couldn’t just watch… I had to count and track and try to manage.
There are fun baby tracking books with cute covers and symbols, super software, web sites that help, and also homegrown spreadsheets. If this sort of obsessive tracking appeals to you, take your pick!
- The Baby Nanny - software that finds those elusive trends and maps ‘em out
- Trixie Tracker - created by a dad who’s more obessessed than we are… I’m so sick, I might want to upload my 9 months of data into this site after the fact, just to feel a sense of control over the data in hindsight!
- Taking Care of Baby - an organizer from Chronicle Books
- The Rookie Mom’s BabyTracker (my homemade tracker in Excel that has seen me through 7 months and still counting!)
- Time Too’s Round the Clock Baby Tracker - super cute — I gave this one to a non-geeky friend and she’s still tracking after 6 months!

My sister is pregnant with twins, and was wonderful about keeping notes and tracking my 8 month old when she was baby sitting him - anyone know of a good tracking book for twins? If not, I guess I’ll just get two of one of the above mentioned!
The Baby Nanny software has an option for multiples, otherwise, we’re still looking for a great twins product.
I’m the creator of Trixie Tracker. Thanks for including us in your list! I just wanted to let the above parents know that Trixie Tracker allows you to add up three children. We have many parents that are currently using it for siblings, twins and triplets. Come sign up for a two week free trial and see if it meets your needs. Thanks again!
HI just looking to find a spreadsheet on nursing twins, if you know of any, forward on!!
Thanks
