Apps that will help you manage breastfeeding better 2026

Breastfeeding is not a bed of roses. Feeding your child with your breast is something unparalleled and a natural act in which your own maternal instinct is enough but, even so, there are many doubts that arise during the entire process to which you deserve to answer for your peace of mind. Will I be doing it right? Can I apply a cream to my chest so that I don't get more cracks? Is it normal for him to cry if his breast is in his mouth? Is my baby in a breastfeeding crisis? Why does he reject my breast? Can I breastfeed if I am sick? What foods should I avoid?

Your midwife or a lactation consultant are the best ones to answer these or any other questions that may arise, although you can also take advantage of the advances in new technologies to help you at the touch of a smartphone. There are several apps that try to answer all these questions, and that can also serve as a guide to know if your baby is breastfeeding correctly in the first weeks of life or what you should do if you continue breastfeeding beyond the six months of exclusivity recommended by the WHO until starting complementary feeding.

An answer for every question

The best known of all is Lactapp. It was founded by María Berruezo, a mother who, thanks to an expert in the field like Alba Padró, was able to continue breastfeeding with her son without problems after both suffered a traffic accident. Her satisfaction was such that she set the goal of having women like Alba be on any mother's mobile phone to cover the lack of advice that exists when you breastfeed your child. Available in Spanish and English, it is practically impossible not to find the answer you need in this app. It offers a completely free service that you can pay with the amount you want if you decide so when you finish using it.

The Breastfeeding Committee of the Spanish Association of Pediatrics has also developed its own app with updated and easy-to-consult information and news for parents, medical professionals and members of support groups. In addition, you can create a mother profile in which you can control the feedings, the weight you gain or lose, bowel movements, etc., in case you want to compare it with different graphs that show the baby's evolution. You have general recommendations adapted for each stage of the child as well as accessible and useful content that tries to answer the most common questions about breastfeeding.

All the information you need

Another of the applications that new mothers download the most is Aprolam. In it you can find extensive information about the importance of breastfeeding and all the benefits it has for mother and baby, as well as practical explanations on how to make breastfeeding successful, how to extract and store milk, or data that helps put an end to the different myths that exist around breastfeeding. It was created by the Carlos Slim Foundation three years ago and is available for both iOS and Android systems.

There are many more apps that can help you along the same lines, but we are left to close the list with Breastfeeding Record. As its name suggests, it works great as a record of the different feedings, what each breast eats, complementary feeding or formula milk if there is one and you can even keep track of the hours of sleep, diaper changes and, of course, the baby's weight and height. There will be no detail that will escape you.
