Sprout tracks the day-to-day — feedings, naps, diaper changes. Family Stork keeps the medical record — checkups, vaccines, allergies, growth charts, specialist visits. They solve different problems, and many parents use both.
Sprout Baby Tracker is a daily care log. It helps you track feedings (breast, bottle, solids), sleep patterns, diaper changes, pumping sessions, and developmental milestones. It's the "what happened today" app — and it's been doing that well since 2010, with an average 4.8-star rating.
Family Stork is a lifelong health timeline. It holds the medical stuff — the well-child visit notes, the immunization record, the allergy test results, the growth measurements from every pediatrician your child has seen. It's the "what the doctor needs to know" app.
Feeding logs. Breast, bottle, solids — track what went in and when, with timer support for nursing sessions.
Sleep tracking. Log naps and nighttime sleep to spot patterns and share with your partner.
Diaper tracking. Yes, this matters in the early months. Pediatricians ask about output.
Milestone logging. First smile, first word, first steps — a developmental scrapbook.
Privacy-first design. No accounts required, no data selling. Your data stays on your device.
Medical records from every provider. One timeline that holds records from every clinic, hospital, and specialist — not just one system.
Vaccine tracking across providers. Every immunization, every booster, from every clinic — with dates, lot numbers, and the record your school actually needs.
Records-inbox email. Give it to any clinic. They send visit summaries; the timeline files them automatically.
Ask the record questions. "When was her last flu shot?" "What did the allergist say?" Answers from actual records, not your memory.
18-year handoff. The record transfers to your child when they're ready. Their whole history, in their hands.
At three months, you're logging every feed and every nap. Sprout is essential. You're surviving on patterns and data.
At three years, the daily logging fades — your child eats meals, sleeps through the night (mostly), and you stop counting diapers. But the medical record is growing: annual checkups, vaccine boosters, that ear infection series, the referral to the allergist.
At thirteen, nobody tracks feedings anymore. But the health record matters more than ever — the full immunization history for camp forms, the allergy documentation for the school nurse, the growth chart the new pediatrician wants to see.
Sprout is the first-year companion. Family Stork is the eighteen-year record.
Sprout tracks the daily rhythm — feeds, sleep, growth. Family Stork captures the medical milestones — the newborn screening, the two-month vaccines, the first well-child visit notes. You need the daily log and the permanent record.
Daily tracking winds down. Medical records keep piling up — annual physicals, booster shots, the vision screening, the sports physical. Family Stork keeps capturing. Sprout becomes a milestone scrapbook.
Your child needs their immunization records for college. Their allergy list for the dorm health form. Their full history for their first adult doctor. Family Stork transfers ownership. The record is theirs.
Sprout is a daily care tracker — brilliant at logging feeds, sleep, and milestones in the early months. Family Stork is a health record — built to hold every medical moment across every provider for your child's entire childhood. One helps you survive the newborn blur. The other makes sure nothing medical is ever lost. Most parents who care about both will use both.
Every person in your family gets a private @families.familystork.com email address. Give it to your pediatrician — they send records to it, and the health story builds itself. Checkups, vaccines, growth, allergies — all filed automatically.
Sprout tracks daily care activities — feeds, sleep, diapers, pumping, growth measurements — but it does not receive or store clinical records like visit summaries, lab results, or vaccination history from providers. For the medical record, Family Stork receives those automatically when clinics email your child's private @familystork address.
No. Sprout is a parent-entered tracking app — you log what you observe. Family Stork works the other direction: clinics send records to your child's @familystork address, and the timeline files them automatically. No uploads, no portal logins, nothing for the clinic to change.
Sprout Baby Tracker has a one-time paid app purchase with no subscription. Family Stork is $99 per year — or about $10 a month — for a lifelong health timeline covering birth through age 18 and beyond.
Sprout is optimized for the newborn and infant period. Family Stork covers the entire childhood — every checkup, vaccine, allergy, specialist visit, and growth chart from the first heartbeat through your child's 18th birthday, when the record transfers to them.
Tired of managing health records for yourself and everyone you love? Family Stork organizes them for you automatically.
