To the uninitiated, breastfeeding seems like a piece of cake: Place your baby on your boob, watch TV for the next 20 minutes, and repeat. But for many parents, this natural act is anything but second nature—and that’s totally normal.
Breastfeeding is a learned art, says Katy Lebbing, manager of the Center for Breastfeeding Information at La Leche League International. “Many women rely on hospitals to teach them, but hospitals often don’t devote much time to educating moms about breastfeeding.”

To help the process, we rounded up some of the best breastfeeding apps for new moms. The apps can do a variety of incredible things—track feedings, manage your nursing schedule, record your baby’s weight, and more. Some of them can even keep tabs on sleep, diaper changes, and developmental milestones.
Whether you’re a first-time mom or seasoned breastfeeder, there’s surely an app in this round-up for you. They’re all available for free—or a small price—on your mobile device.

And perhaps the best part: the app analyzes your inputted data, making it easy for you (and your child’s pediatrician) to see daily, weekly, and monthly averages.
