LatchTime: Not a Baby Tracker

Most baby tracker apps track everything. Research suggests that's making postpartum moms more anxious. LatchTime is a simple breastfeeding timer that tracks just the two things your sleep-deprived brain genuinely can't hold: which side last, and how long ago.

The Research

A 2023 peer-reviewed study found intensive use of all-in-one tracking apps significantly increases anxiety, depression, and OCD symptoms in new mothers and weakens the instinctive bond between mother and baby.

The same study found that mothers who tracked minimally had significantly better mental health outcomes and stronger bonds with their babies.

Other apps encourage tracking:
  • Diapers
  • Sleep
  • Nursing
  • Bottles
  • Solid foods
  • Growth
  • + more...
LatchTime limits tracking to:
  • Which side last
  • How long ago
  • Bottles (optional)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is LatchTime a baby tracker app?

How does LatchTime help with postpartum mental health?

By limiting tracking to the essentials — which breast last and how long ago — LatchTime helps new moms stay informed without the mental load of obsessive data logging. Mothers who tracked minimally had significantly better mental health outcomes and stronger bonds with their babies.

What does LatchTime track?

LatchTime tracks which breast you fed from last, how long ago the feeding was, and optionally bottle feedings. It intentionally does not track diapers, sleep, solid foods, or growth — the extras research associates with increased postpartum anxiety.

LatchTime is a one-time purchase of $2.99 on the App Store. No subscription, no ads, no in-app purchases.

Does LatchTime require an account or internet connection?
