The Pumping Schedule app launched today on the App Store. It is free to download. If you have used any of our pumping schedules or schedule generator, the app is the next step: the same evidence-based approach, but built for daily use on your phone.
Why We Built an App
The site answers the question you type into Google: “pumping schedule 7 months” or “how long is breast milk good for.” That is a one-time lookup. But pumping is not a one-time thing. It is 6-8 sessions a day, every day, for months.
We kept hearing the same thing from moms who found us through the site: “I bookmarked the schedule, but I need something I can use mid-pump at 3 AM without squinting at a website.” That is a reasonable request. So we built it.
The app is not a replacement for the site. The exclusive pumping guide, the power pumping schedule, the breast milk storage guide — all of that stays free on the web. The app is the daily companion that sits next to your pump.
What the App Does
Six features, all designed around the reality that you are usually holding a baby or a pump (or both) when you use it.
Personalized schedules.Enter your baby's age and feeding type and the app builds your daily plan. It adjusts as your baby grows — so you are not re-generating a schedule every month. The same CDC and AAP guidelines behind our age-by-age schedulespower the app's recommendations.
One-tap session logging. Start, stop, done. Duration and output recorded automatically. Works with one hand, which matters when the other hand is doing something else entirely.
Supply trends. Your output graphed over weeks and months. You can spot a dip on Wednesday instead of panicking on Friday. The La Leche League notes that pump output alone is not a reliable measure of total supply — but tracking it over time reveals patterns that single sessions hide. If you are working on increasing your supply, the trend line tells you whether your changes are working faster than guessing from session to session.
Freezer stash manager. What is in the freezer, when each bag expires, and how many days of backup you actually have. FIFO reminders so the oldest bags get used first. If you have ever thrown away expired milk because you lost track, this is the fix.
Night mode. Dark interface, large buttons, no bright light waking the baby. The 3 AM pump is already unpleasant enough without your phone blinding you.
Partner sharing. Your co-parent or caregiver sees your schedule, recent sessions, and stash count. Real-time sync, no texting required. Particularly useful if you are pumping at work and your partner is handling feeds at home.
How the App Works With the Site
The site and the app serve different moments in your day.
| When you need… | Use |
|---|---|
| A pumping schedule for your baby's age | Schedule generator (web) or the app |
| To log a session at 3 AM | The app |
| To check if stored milk is still good | Storage calculator (web) or the app |
| A deep-dive guide on exclusive pumping | The site |
| Supply trends over the past month | The app |
| To know your workplace pumping rights | The site |
Everything on the site remains free and does not require the app. The app does not require the site. They are complementary, not dependent.
What Is Free, What Is Premium
The core features — schedule generation, session logging, and basic tracking — are free. No account required, no trial that expires after 7 days, no feature walls on the first screen.
Premium unlocks advanced supply analytics (weekly and monthly trend comparisons), the full freezer stash manager with expiration alerts, partner sharing, and data export. The subscription is optional and you can use the app indefinitely without it.
Download
The Pumping Schedule app is available now on the App Store for iPhone (iOS 16+). An Android version is planned for later in 2026.
