Growth tracker
A baby growth tracker that keeps the memory next to the measurement.
Most growth trackers give you a number and a date. Our Pear Tree keeps the picture too, so nine pounds two ounces still has the sleepy morning face that came with it.
How it works
Log a reading in the time it takes to read the scale.
Open your child’s page, tap Add a measurement, and pick what you measured: weight, height or length, or head size. Type the number in whatever unit you already use, choose the date, and save. That is the whole ritual. There are no forms to set up first and no accounts to link.
Every reading lands on your child’s growth page with its age worked out for you. A weight taken today might read “6 months.” One from last spring reads “3 months.” You never do the arithmetic, and because the age is figured from your child’s own birthday, it still reads right years from now when you look back. It is the same quiet accuracy behind our baby age tracker, applied to the numbers.
You can keep a running record of weight, height or length, and head measurements, and there is room for the small practical ones too, like shoe and clothing size, so you always know what actually fits. Numeric readings draw a soft line over time. Sizes that are really labels are simply listed, in order, with the day they were true.
- Weight, height or length, and head measurements for each child
- An age label on every single reading, worked out for you
- A photo you can pin to any measurement
- A separate, tidy record for every little one in the house
The door-frame shot
The number and the photo, kept together.
You know the shot. The back against the door frame, the pencil mark, the proud little chin. On most apps that photo lives in your camera roll and the number lives in a spreadsheet, and the two never meet. Here you can attach a photo to any measurement, so the height and the child who stood for it stay on the same card forever.
It works for the newborn scale photo, the first pair of shoes held up to the light, the marks climbing the kitchen wall. The measurement gives you the fact. The photo gives you the day. Pair growth with the milestone tracker and the whole of how they grew, the inches and the firsts, sits on one timeline you actually want to scroll.
A memory keeper, not a medical chart
Here is the honest part. Our Pear Tree is not a medical tool. We draw a simple line of your own child’s readings so you can see them climb, but we do not show percentile curves, and we never compare your baby to anyone else’s. The “which percentile line is my baby on” question belongs with your pediatrician, who has the full history and the training to read it. Your doctor tracks the curve. We keep the story of it: the ounces gained back after a hard first week, the growth spurt nobody warned you about, the day they finally cleared a mark on the wall.

Questions
What parents ask about growth tracking.
Do you show growth percentiles?
No, and this is on purpose. We draw a simple line of your own child's readings over time so you can watch them climb, but we do not show percentile curves and we never compare your baby to anyone else. Percentiles, and any advice about them, belong with your pediatrician, who has the full picture. We keep the memory of how they grew, not a medical verdict.
Can I log in pounds and inches, or only metric?
Whatever you already use. The unit is yours to type, so pounds and ounces or kilograms, inches or centimeters, all sit happily side by side. Log the weight the way the scale at home reads it, and the number stays exactly as you entered it.
Can I track more than one child?
Yes. Each child has their own page and their own growth record, so a house with two or three little ones stays tidy. Every child keeps their own weights, heights, and head measurements, each with its own gentle line over time.
Can grandparents see how the baby is growing?
Yes. Anyone you invite as a viewer can see the growth readings, read-only, alongside the rest of the timeline, and viewers are free on every plan. Grandparents who do not use apps can open a private link in any browser. See how sharing with grandparents works.
