## What it is
Baby Buddy is a self-hosted web application built with Python and Django that helps caregivers track baby activities like sleep, feedings, diaper changes, tummy time, and measurements. It provides a dashboard, timeline, statistics, and reports to help parents learn about and predict their baby's needs.

## Use cases
- track baby sleep and naps
- log breastfeeding and bottle feedings
- record diaper changes
- track tummy time sessions
- monitor baby weight height and head circumference
- self-hosted baby activity tracker
- predict baby needs from logged data
- share baby care log between caregivers

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted alternative to commercial baby tracking apps
- you need multi-user support so several caregivers can log activities
- you want detailed statistics, reports, and a timeline of all baby activities
- you prefer open-source software with per-user language settings and an API for integrations

## When to avoid
- you only need a simple mobile app without self-hosting a server
- you want automatic tracking from wearable devices rather than manual logging
- you need medical-grade monitoring or clinical data features
