New tube feeding tool simplifies tracking and enhances emotional well-being for families during their baby’s feeding journey.
Spokane, Washington – January 20, 2025 – Growing Independent Eaters (GIE), a leader in tube weaning and independent oral eating for children, is excited to announce the launch of a new tube feeding tracker within the Sprout Baby Tracker app, an innovative tool designed in collaboration with Sprout Apps to help parents track all the data following their baby’s feeding, sleep, and developmental milestones in one place.
Designed by parents for parents, the award-winning Sprout Baby Tracker app provides an all-in-one solution for tracking a child’s development, feedings, sleep, diaper changes, and growth. With the addition of the tube feeding tracker, Sprout Baby Tracker now supports families on their journey through tube feeding and weaning and underscores the app's commitment to accommodating diverse feeding needs and supporting all families. “This tool will be very helpful to the families we serve, not only in having a centralized place to record milestones and information that our clinicians can review with parents, but to also see what is working well during the process, which often isn’t celebrated enough,” says Becky Keifer, lead Feeding Specialist at GIE.
The tool offers a comprehensive suite of features, including detailed tracking of tube feeding records, celebratory milestones ("firsts"), a weekly journal for emotional and physical progress, and insightful charts to visualize the weaning journey and baby health indicators. As the first tool of its kind, it combines practical, measurable tools with emotional support, empowering parents to navigate the challenges of tube weaning while fostering positivity and mental well-being for both parent and child. This groundbreaking feature provides essential resources for families on this specialized journey, offering them hope, guidance, and connection every step of the way.
Sprout Baby Tracker is available for download on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The tube feeding tracker is currently only available on the iOS app at this time. For more information, visit Sprout Baby Tracker or visit gieaters.com.
