A family sharing the care of their baby at home

Quick answer: yes, you can track twins or siblings in one app without paying for each child. In Circle Baby Care, every baby gets their own log on the same account, you switch between them in a tap, and the price never changes. It's the price that follows you: as your family grows, the price doesn't.

If you've just had twins, or a newborn has joined a toddler, you already know the maths of family life changes overnight. What shouldn't change is the cost of the tools you rely on.

Why tracking two children is different

One baby is a blur. Two is a blur with a scheduling problem. Parents of twins and close-in-age siblings tell us the same things:

  • "Which one did I just feed?" At 3am, with two babies, this is a genuine question, not a joke.
  • Double the medicine moments. Two children, two doses of Calpol, two safe windows to keep track of.
  • More hands, more confusion. Grandparents, a partner, a nanny — everyone helping means everyone needs to see what just happened.
  • The toddler still exists. Older siblings have their own naps, meals and appointments while the newborn takes centre stage.

A shared log stops being a nice-to-have and becomes the only way the household stays on the same page.

What to look for in a tracker for more than one child

  1. Separate logs per child. Each baby needs their own timeline, so a feed for one never muddles the other's pattern.
  2. Fast switching. If changing child takes more than a tap, nobody will bother at 3am.
  3. One shared circle. Everyone helping should see every child's log, without separate accounts or separate payments.
  4. A price that doesn't multiply. Some apps charge per child or lock multiple-baby tracking behind a higher tier. Check before you commit — ideally before the twins arrive.

How Circle handles twins and siblings

  • Each child gets their own log. Feeds, sleeps, nappies, medicine and growth are tracked separately, so patterns stay clear.
  • Switch in a tap. The baby switcher sits at the top of the app, so moving between children takes one thumb.
  • The whole circle sees everything. You, a partner and up to four caregivers share every child's log in real time. Nobody pays to join.
  • One price, however many children. Twins, triplets, a newborn and a toddler — the plan stays £3.99 a month or £34.99 a year. As your family grows, the price doesn't.

That last point is a promise, not a promotion. We call it the price that follows you. The plan you start with one baby is the same plan when the second arrives, and the same price too.

Practical tips for logging two children

  • Log at the moment, not later. With two children, "I'll remember" is how feeds get lost. One tap as you sit down is enough.
  • Use names and photos. Set a photo for each child so the switcher is unmistakable when you're tired.
  • Share the load, literally. Whoever is holding the baby logs the feed. Because everyone sees the same log, there's no handover briefing.
  • Your own recovery has its own record. My medicines keeps a parent's medicines and injections private and separate from every child's log, at no extra cost.
  • Keep each child's medicine record separate. Use the app to record what was given and when, but always check the correct child's label or prescription for the dose and timing. Counts and reminders do not replace advice from a pharmacist or clinician.

FAQ

Do I pay extra for a second baby?

Can grandparents see both children?

Yes. Everyone in your circle sees every child's log. Invited family members never pay.

Can I track a toddler and a newborn at the same time?

Yes. Each child has their own log, and you switch between them in a tap.
