Nursing timer: left, right, and which side is next.

Tap the side your baby is on. Tap the other side to switch. The timer keeps each side's time, remembers where you finished, and keeps counting with your phone locked.

How to use the nursing timer

  1. Tap a side to start

    Tap Left or Right when your baby latches. The suggested side is outlined for you.

  2. Tap the other side to switch

    The first side stops and the second starts, so each side's time stays separate.

  3. Tap Done when the feed ends

    The feed is saved below with its length and the side you finished on.

The Dobbin app

Want this on your wrist, shared with your partner?

Dobbin does the same from your Apple Watch: tap the suggested side, switch mid-feed, and the feed shows up on your partner's iPhone within seconds. Bottles, pumping and sleep live in the same timeline.

FAQ

Nursing timer questions

How do I use this nursing timer?

Tap Left or Right when your baby latches. Tap the other side to switch, and the timer keeps each side's time separately. Tap Done when the feed ends and it's saved to the list below.

Which side should I start on next?

Many parents alternate sides from one feed to the next. The timer suggests the side opposite the one your last feed ended on. It's a reminder, not a rule: go with your comfort and your lactation consultant's advice.

Is my data saved anywhere?

Only in this browser on this device. Nothing is sent to a server, and clearing your browser data erases it. For a log you can share with a partner, use the Dobbin app.

Does the timer keep running if I lock my phone?

Yes. The timer stores when each side started, so it shows the right time when you come back, even if the browser was in the background.
