Questions & answers

The things new parents ask us most. Can't find it? We're happy to help.

Getting started

How do I log a feed?

Press and hold the button on the home screen to pick a type (formula, breast, pumped, water or solids), slide to the amount, and tap to log — all in one hand. You can start a live timer, adjust the start time, and edit or delete any feed later.

What are "Smart sizes"?

Instead of asking you to set up bottle sizes, Feed Flow! quietly learns the amounts you usually pour and offers them as one-tap buttons above the slider. No setup — and they keep up as your baby grows. You can turn it off any time in Settings.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Feed Flow! is fully offline — log a feed on a plane or in a basement nursery. When you're back online it syncs to your own iCloud so your family stays in step.

Understanding your baby

Is my baby eating enough?

Feed Flow! shows a typical range for your baby's age and weight as a gentle guide — never a grade or a diagnosis. Every baby is different, and a day outside the band is an invitation to look closer, not an alarm. For anything that worries you, always follow your pediatrician or midwife.

Are breastfeeding amounts exact?

No — nobody can measure milk straight from the breast, so any nursing volume is an honest estimate. Feed Flow! is clear about this: where nursing is part of the day, it leans on feeds a day and rhythm rather than pretending to a precise millilitre count.

How does it predict the next feed?

FlowCast learns your baby's recent rhythm and shows when the next feeds are likely due — as gentle windows, not exact promises. When the pattern is shifting, it says so instead of pretending to be sure. It's a planning guide, never a schedule you have to hit.

Wasting less

Will Feed Flow! save me money?

We don't promise that. The smart sizes, safe-window timers and analysis are tools that help you waste less precious milk and formula, and less down the sink can add up over time — but how much depends entirely on your feeding, so we show it as an honest estimate of milk not wasted and never as a saving you're owed.

Is it okay that I waste some formula or milk?

Completely. Some waste is normal and often out of your hands — babies don't finish every bottle, letdown varies, life happens. Feed Flow! never judges. It just gently shows where a smaller bottle might help, no pressure.

What's the countdown on a prepared bottle?

Prepared formula and expressed milk are only good for a limited time. Feed Flow! shows a calm safe-window countdown on each bottle so you can tell at a glance whether it's still good — and bin less by accident.

What's free, what's premium

What can I do for free?

Logging every feed is free, forever — and so are the safe-window bottle timers, because anything to do with safety is never paywalled. Our rule is simple: logging is free; the deeper understanding is premium.

What does Premium add?

The bigger picture: 7-day forecasts and weekly trends, growth charts, the keepsake PDF report, per-brand effectiveness, unlimited history, and more than one child. There's a free trial so you can see it before you decide, and a one-time Lifetime option if you'd rather not subscribe.

I paid for Premium but don't see it (new phone, reinstall)

Open Settings → Premium → Restore purchases. Your unlock is tied to your Apple ID, so it restores free on any device signed in to the same account. Manage or cancel a subscription in the iOS Settings app → [your name] → Subscriptions; Lifetime is one-time and never renews.

Sharing with your family

Can my partner or my baby's grandparent log too?

Not in the first release. Sharing one live log between caregivers is built and still being tested, and it will arrive in a free update after launch — we'd rather hold it back than ship something half-working for the people who'd depend on it most. Until then, the log lives in your own iCloud, on your own devices.

Privacy & your data

Your baby's feeding and growth data stays on your device and in your own iCloud. We have no server that holds it and we cannot read it. No ads, no cross-app tracking.

How do I export my data?

Settings → Data & Privacy → Export my data creates a complete, machine-readable copy of everything you've logged (plus a readable CSV) to save or share.

How do I delete my data?

Settings → Data & Privacy → Delete all data erases it from the device and, because it lives in your own iCloud, from your synced devices too.

Will I lose my data if I reinstall?

No — as long as iCloud sync is on, your data comes back when you reinstall and sign in to the same Apple ID. If you kept data on-device only (iCloud off), reinstalling starts fresh, so keep sync on for that safety net.
