South Africa

A free baby tracker for South African parents

Luna is a free, shared baby tracker for feeds, sleep and nappies. Both parents log into one family record from their own phones, so the person doing the 2am feed can see what happened at midnight without waking anyone. For South African families it speaks clinic, not NHS: the EPI (SA) immunisation schedule, Road to Health booklet wording, local help numbers and Africa/Johannesburg time.

Start tracking free, then choose South Africa under Settings → Country.

What changes when you pick South Africa

  • Clinic schedule: Luna shows the EPI (SA) 2024 childhood immunisation visits and which one is next for your baby's age.
  • Road to Health booklet: check-ups are called clinic visits, with a reminder to bring the booklet. The booklet and the clinic stay the official record; Luna is your own notes.
  • Help numbers: emergency and advice lines for South Africa replace the UK's NHS 111.
  • Time zone and units: metric units (ml, kg, cm) by default, and Luna offers Africa/Johannesburg time when you pick South Africa.

The EPI (SA) 2024 clinic schedule in Luna

These are the childhood immunisation visits on the revised EPI (SA) 2024 schedule from the National Department of Health and the Western Cape Government. Luna lists them so you know what's coming; your clinic decides what your baby gets and when.

  • Birth: BCG, OPV0 (plus a hepatitis B birth dose only for babies whose mothers tested positive for HBsAg in pregnancy)
  • 6 weeks: OPV1, RV1, Hexavalent1 (DTaP-IPV-Hib-HBV), PCV1
  • 10 weeks: Hexavalent2 (DTaP-IPV-Hib-HBV)
  • 14 weeks: RV2, Hexavalent3 (DTaP-IPV-Hib-HBV), PCV2
  • 6 months: MR1 (measles and rubella), given on its own
  • 9 months: PCV3
  • 12 months: MR2 (measles and rubella)
  • 18 months: Hexavalent4 (DTaP-IPV-Hib-HBV)
  • 6 years and 12 years: Tdap

Logging through load-shedding

Power cuts and patchy data shouldn't cost you a feed. Luna opens offline, and logs you make with no signal wait on your phone, then sync once when you're back online. Nothing is counted twice.

Share the night shift

Invite your partner, a gogo or a nanny with a link. Each person gets their own login and sees the same log: last feed, last nappy, how long baby has slept. Luna is built for the handover, when one of you is going to bed and the other is taking over.

Help numbers Luna shows in South Africa

  • 10177: ambulance from a landline
  • 112: emergency from a cell phone
  • 0800 029 999: National Health Hotline, free and 24/7, for non-emergency health questions
  • 0861 555 777: Poisons Information Helpline

If your baby seems unwell, call the clinic or one of these numbers. Luna is a record-keeper, not a medical service.

Common questions

Is Luna free in South Africa?

Yes. Everyday tracking (feeds, sleep, nappies, solids, notes) and sharing with your partner are free. Luna Plus is optional and is billed in pounds for now; there is no rand price yet.

Does Luna know the South African clinic schedule?

Yes. Set your country to South Africa and Luna shows the EPI (SA) 2024 childhood immunisation visits from birth, 6, 10 and 14 weeks through 6, 9, 12 and 18 months, so you can see which clinic visit is next. Your Road to Health booklet and the clinic stay the record.

Does it work during load-shedding or with no data?

Logs you make while offline wait on your phone and sync once you're back online, so a feed at 2am during load-shedding isn't lost.

Which help numbers does Luna show?

For South African families: 10177 for an ambulance from a landline, 112 from a cell phone, the free 24/7 National Health Hotline on 0800 029 999 for non-emergency health questions, and the Poisons Information Helpline on 0861 555 777.

Do I need Google Play or the App Store?

No. Luna runs in Chrome or Safari and you can add it to your home screen in a few taps.

Does Luna give medical advice?

No. It keeps your family's log in one place. Questions about your baby's health belong with the clinic, a nurse or a doctor.
