Getting Started
What is Tiny Footprints?
Tiny Footprints is an all-in-one baby and pregnancy tracking app. Track feeding sessions, sleep patterns, diaper changes, growth measurements, milestones, and more, from pregnancy through toddlerhood.
How do I create an account?
Download the app from the App Store or Google Play, then sign up with your email address, Google account, or Apple ID. You'll be guided through creating your first baby or pregnancy profile.
Is Tiny Footprints free?
Tiny Footprints offers a 6-week free trial with full access to all features. After the trial, a subscription is required to continue using the app.
Feeding & Sleep Tracking
How do I log a feeding?
Tap the + button on the dashboard, then select the feeding type: Nursing (with left/right breast timer), Bottle (enter ml or oz), or Solid Food. Each log is timestamped and saved automatically.
What is the Sleep Guide?
The Sleep Guide analyzes your baby's recent sleep patterns and provides age-appropriate guidance on when the next nap or bedtime should be. You'll see a live countdown on your dashboard, and you can turn on nap notifications with a customizable lead time. For the thinking behind it, read our wake windows by age guide.
Can I track pumping sessions?
Yes! Select 'Pumping' from the log types. You can record duration and amount for each session.
Pregnancy & Postpartum
How do I set up pregnancy tracking?
Create a new pregnancy profile by tapping 'Add Profile' and selecting 'Pregnancy.' Enter your due date to get weekly pregnancy tracking with size comparisons, symptom logging, and appointment reminders.
What happens when my baby is born?
You can transition your pregnancy profile to a newborn profile. Your pregnancy logs are preserved, and the app switches to newborn tracking (feeding, sleep, diapers, growth).
Can I track symptoms during pregnancy?
Yes. The pregnancy log types include symptoms, weight, blood pressure, appointments, medications, and more. You can also add journal entries and bump photos.
Can I track my own recovery after the birth?
Yes. Tiny Footprints includes recovery tracking and Mom Insights: log your mood, weight, symptoms, and journal entries alongside your baby's data. For what recovery typically looks like, read our postpartum recovery timeline.
Growth & Milestones
How do growth charts work?
Enter your baby's weight, length, and head circumference measurements. Tiny Footprints plots them against WHO growth percentile curves so you can see how your baby compares to global averages.
What milestones are tracked?
Two kinds. The app celebrates age milestones (weekly for the first month, monthly through age 2, yearly through age 5) with dashboard photo prompts on each date. There's also a CDC-based developmental checklist in the Insights tab that checks itself off as you log milestones. See our guide to baby milestones by age.
How do I track teething?
Choose 'Teething' from the log types to mark each tooth as emerging or erupted on the interactive tooth map, and log symptoms and remedies. The Teething tab in Insights builds your baby's eruption timeline against the expected windows. For typical timing, see our teething timeline guide.
Journey Book & Keepsakes
What is the Journey Book?
Journey Book turns your logged moments and photos into a keepsake photo book. The app drafts the pages for you, grouped by age and captioned with your own log notes, and you polish layouts, photos, and captions from there. See how Journey Book works.
Can I print my Journey Book?
Yes. Books export as print-ready A4 PDFs, so you can print at home, at a local print shop, or through an online photo printing service. We don't meter books or pages, so make as many as your story needs.
Account & Sharing
Can I share tracking with my partner?
Yes! Go to Settings > Profiles & Sharing > Partner Access to invite a co-parent or caregiver. They'll be able to log and view data for shared baby profiles in real time, and your subscription covers the profiles you share, so invited caregivers never need to pay. Full walkthrough: sharing with your partner or a caregiver.
Which sign-in methods can I use?
Email and password, Google, or Sign in with Apple. Your account works on both iPhone and Android with any of these: sign in on a new device and your data is there, synced in real time.
Why can't I link Sign in with Apple to my existing account?
If you choose 'Hide My Email' when signing in with Apple, Apple gives us a private relay address instead of your real email, so it can't be matched to the account you already have. To link Apple sign-in to an existing account, choose 'Share My Email' when Apple asks. Already hidden it? Sign in with your original method and email support@tinyfootprints.app and we'll help.
How do I switch between baby profiles?
Swipe the profile avatar at the top of the dashboard to switch between babies. You can also manage profiles from Settings > Profiles & Sharing.
How do I change my display name or email?
Go to Settings and tap your profile card at the top to open User Profile. From there you can edit your display name, request a password reset, or manage your account.
Data & Privacy
Is my data secure?
Yes. Your data is stored on Google Firebase servers with encryption in transit and at rest. We never sell your personal information. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
How do I export my data?
Go to the Insights tab and use the PDF Export feature to generate reports of your baby's feeding, sleep, growth, and other tracking data.
How do I delete my account?
Go to Settings > tap your profile card > User Profile > Delete Account. This permanently removes your account and all associated data. See our data deletion page for more details.
