Why We Still Love Pen & Paper: The Power of Parenting Trackers

These days, most of us live on our phones. From calendar reminders to health apps, it feels like there’s an app for everything—including parenting. But sometimes, especially when life gets stressful, there’s something grounding about going old school. Pen to paper. A clear list in front of you. Something you can stick on the fridge or hand over to grandparents without needing a password or an app tutorial.


That’s exactly how our Bunny & Bear Trackers came to life.


When one of our Bunny & Bear toddlers had an adenotonsillectomy (tonsil and adenoid removal), keeping track of all the medication was overwhelming. In between sleepless nights, pain relief schedules, antibiotics, and the constant worry of missing a dose, the phone reminders just weren’t enough. So we went back to basics—we wrote it all down.


What started as a simple list quickly became a lifeline. Everyone—Mum, Dad, and grandparents—knew exactly what had been given and when. And when our little one had a post-operative bleed, the hospital staff were impressed by how methodically everything had been recorded. That list made all the difference.


From that moment, we realised: paper trackers aren’t outdated—they’re practical, shareable, and stress-saving. And so, our Bunny & Bear Trackers were born.



Everyday Parenting, Made Simpler


It’s not just surgery recoveries where tracking helps. Parenting comes with a hundred little details every single day—and remembering them all isn’t easy. That’s why we designed trackers for the moments that matter most:


Feeding & Sleep Tracker – Keep on top of feeding times, naps, and wake windows—especially useful in those hazy newborn days.

Medicine Tracker – Never second-guess if the last dose was given, or when it’s due. Perfect for when kids are sick, teething, or on antibiotics.

Nappy Tracker – A surprisingly handy tool for new parents and health checks, helping you notice patterns and stay on top of hydration and comfort.


These trackers aren’t about being rigid or “perfect.” They’re about reducing stress, sharing responsibility, and giving you peace of mind.



Why Families Love Them


✔️ Grandparent & Carer Friendly – Easy to hand over, no tech required.
