Newborn Diaper Log
Wet nappies are the clearest sign at home that a newborn is getting enough milk, and the number to expect changes every single day of the first week. Tap a button each time you change one and this keeps the count for you - then shows the CDC and AAP minimum for that day of life beside what you actually logged, and says plainly when a completed day came in under it. Enter the date of birth once; the day of life is worked out for you, because a number retyped on every row is a number that eventually gets mistyped. Everything stays on this device.

Where these figures come from
Every number this tool shows you is published guidance, not our opinion. Read it yourself:
- CDC - Newborn basics (feeding and diaper output)
- AAP / HealthyChildren - How to tell if baby is getting enough milk
- La Leche League International
This is a record-keeping aid, not medical advice and not a diagnosis. Anything clinical belongs with your pediatrician, midwife, or an IBCLC lactation consultant.
Frequently asked
Where is this stored? Can anyone else see it?
Only on this device, in your browser. Nothing is ever uploaded and there is no account. This is health information about a baby, so it does not leave the device — export to CSV/JSON to back it up, or print it to take to an appointment.
Is this medical advice?
No. It is a record you keep and a reference to published CDC, AAP and National Academies guidance. It does not diagnose anything. Anything clinical belongs with your pediatrician, midwife, or an IBCLC lactation consultant.
How do I show this to a doctor?
Export to CSV or JSON for a file, or just print the page - the print layout drops the site furniture and prints the summary and the table as a clean record.
What if the count is below the minimum?
The tool says so in plain words and tells you to contact your pediatrician or midwife that day, with the log. Fewer wet nappies than expected can mean a baby is not getting enough milk. It does not diagnose anything - it shows you the published figure beside your own count so you can act on it early.
