A Nara Baby alternative that brings most of your history with you
Nara exports your tracking history, and we can bring most of it with you, so moving takes about five minutes and you arrive with months of tracking rather than an empty screen.
Daily tracking stays free.
A few things work differently here. Recorded firsts live in Plus, so on the free plan they stay in your file instead of coming across. Reactions stay behind on every plan, so the import asks you how each major allergen in your history went rather than inheriting another app's version of it. Both are spelled out below. Your everyday tracking history comes across either way.
More than one child? Nara exports one file per child, and our free plan covers one baby, or twins and triplets from the same birth. If you are moving children from different births, Plus covers the whole household. The import itself is free either way. We would rather say this now than let you find it halfway through.
What you get here for the feeds you log every day
- A nursing timer, left and right. Pause it for a burp, and it keeps time with the screen locked or the app closed. It marks the side to start on next, and the other parent sees it running on their phone and can switch, pause or stop it there. The feed is logged once.
- Nursing plus a top-up bottle, as one feed. Pumped milk, formula or both, counted once.
- Pumping, always on the Feeds tab, whether or not you give bottles.
- Diapers you can fill in later. Tap any change, a quick Wet or Dirty included, to add the color, consistency or a note, or to mark a blowout. Blowouts are counted.
- An Activity tab for tummy time, baths, toothbrushing, time outside, story time, play time and nail trims, one tap to log again.
All free.
On Plus, a letter about each month you logged comes by email on the 1st and ends with the month in numbers: hours nursing, naps and nights, diapers and blowouts, bottles, pumping, doses and activities, added up from what you logged.
1. Export from Nara
On the main Activity screen, tap the avatar next to your child's name, then tap Export Data. Nara gives you a CSV. Their own instructions are here (checked 2026-10-05).
2. Upload it here
Open Bring your history over and choose the file. We recognize a Nara export automatically, so you do not have to tell us where it came from, and you see a full preview before anything is saved.
If something looks wrong afterward, Undo removes exactly what that import added and leaves anything you logged yourself alone. Every import stays listed under Past imports on the import page, with Undo, so you can take one back later too.
What comes across
We built the importer against a real Nara export rather than guessing at their format. Here is what moves:
- Feeds: bottles, nursing with sides and durations (both sides when both were timed), and combo feeds kept together as the single event you logged.
- Sleep and diapers, including the color and texture you recorded on a dirty diaper. Blowouts come across as blowouts.
- Solids: a plate with several foods arrives as several foods on one meal, matched to our library where the name matches exactly.
- Temperatures and medications, straight into Health, each dose with its amount (teaspoons become mL, with the dose as you wrote it in Nara kept in its note). If a temperature is not physically plausible we leave it out, so a mistyped number never shows up later as a fever in your pediatrician report.
- Pumping sessions, growth measurements and shots.
- The daily vitamin, streak and all.
- Your routines: bath time, tummy time, walks, story time, play time and nail trims, plus a toothbrushing routine if you added one, each as an activity at the time you logged it. Nara does not export how long a routine lasted, so we do not make one up.
- Recorded firsts, on Plus, since that is where the memory book lives. On the free plan we tell you how many are waiting in the file instead of losing them.
A routine you created yourself in Nara stays behind, and the preview tells you how many. We only file an activity under a kind we actually have, rather than guess.
What we deliberately leave behind
Three things: reaction labels, first-taste status, and another app's record of which allergens have already been introduced. Those drive the allergen tracker here, and inheriting a version of them we cannot verify is worse than asking you. So we ask. Your imported foods still appear in your history, and for each of the nine major allergens that appears only there, you choose No reaction, Had a reaction or Not sure. No reaction puts it in the rotation like anything logged here. Had a reaction stops it being suggested and notes it on your allergen tracker. One left unanswered or marked Not sure gets no rotation reminders and no food suggestions until you answer there or log it here, and the sitter page tells a sitter to ask a parent before offering it.
Nara is still a good app
It has no ads and it tracks the day well. We say so on our comparison page and we are not going to pretend otherwise. What we can say is what you get here: the day you already log, the timer and the top-ups included, stays free, and when solids start the food library, prep by age, choking notes and allergen tracking are free too. Whatever you decide, export your Nara data. A history you have a copy of is yours regardless of which app you end up in.
Frequently asked questions
How do I export my data from Nara Baby?
On the main Activity screen, tap the avatar next to your child’s name, then tap Export Data. Nara gives you a CSV covering everything you have logged.
Why would I move?
Nara is a good tracker and we say so on our comparison page. Two reasons people move. The first is new: Nara now charges for tracking. Their own FAQ says the app is '$9.99/month or $99.99 one-time (lifetime)', that families get a seven-day free trial starting when you log your first track, and that afterwards 'you can still view and export everything you logged during the trial; you can’t add new entries until you sign up'. Existing families were emailed promotional pricing and an October 8 2026 start date. Here, daily tracking stays free, and that includes a left and right nursing timer, nursing plus a top-up bottle logged as one feed, pumping and diapers. The second is solids: Nara logs that a food happened, and on the Nara pages we reviewed we could not find a comparable food library, prep-by-age guidance or allergen tracker. If your job right now is starting solids and staying ahead of the big nine, that is the gap. Either way, export your history now rather than later.
Do I need Plus to keep tracking after I switch?
No. The import is free and everyday tracking stays free: feeds and nursing, bottles, pumping, sleep, diapers, solids, and medications and temperatures in Health. Plus adds the keepsake side, like the memory book your recorded firsts live in, and growth charts, and it covers children from more than one birth. The growth history you import is saved and kept on any plan, because it is already yours. It shows on the Checkup and in the Memory book, which come with Plus. You do not need Plus to keep logging the day.
What comes across from Nara?
A lot. Feeds, including bottles, nursing and their combo feeds, plus sleep, diapers with color and texture, solids, temperatures, medications, pumping sessions, growth measurements, shots and the daily vitamin. Your routines come too: bath time, tummy time, walks, story time, play time and nail trims land as activities, each at the time you logged it. Recorded firsts come across on Plus, since that is where the memory book lives.
What does not come across?
A routine you added to Nara yourself, unless it is one of ours: tummy time, baths, toothbrushing, time outside, story time, play time or nail trims (a walk counts as time outside). We only file an activity under a kind we have, so anything else stays in your file and the preview counts it. Reaction labels, first-taste status and Nara’s record of which allergens were introduced stay behind too, rather than carrying another app’s interpretation into the allergen tracker here. Instead, for each of the nine major allergens that appears only in your Nara history, the import asks whether your baby reacted, and one left unanswered or marked not sure gets no rotation reminders until you say how it went, or log it here. Recorded firsts import on Plus; on the free plan they stay in the file and we tell you how many are waiting.
Does it handle Nara’s combo feeds?
Yes. A combo feed arrives as one nursing feed that keeps its side and minutes, with the top-up bottle on it. It is the same feed you would log here with Combo, or with Add a top-up bottle on the nursing timer. It counts once in your feed totals, and its bottle counts toward the milk given by bottle.

Bring your history with you
Upload the CSV your old app exported and we read the columns, whichever app it came from. You see exactly what we found before anything is saved, and re-uploading the same file never doubles anything up. Free, and we do not trim old entries later.
