Common questions

How do several people use one log?
Add up to five people (parents, grandparents, a nanny) in Settings → People who help. Tap Logging as on the Today screen when the phone changes hands; every save button says who it will be saved as. To fill someone in, tap Send an update for a summary of the last 24 hours.

How do we log on two phones?
On the first phone, open Settings → Share with a partner, pick whose phone it is, and tap Invite a partner. On the other phone, open the same screen, tap Join, enter the 8-character code (it works once, for 15 minutes) and pick who you are. From then on each phone logs as its own person and entries show up on both within a minute or two while the app is open. No account needed, and the log is end-to-end encrypted. Anything already logged on the joining phone is added to the shared log.

Can grandparents or a nanny log too?
Yes. Tap Invite a helper instead of Invite a partner. Helpers can log feeds, sleep and diapers, end a nap or feed timer that's running, and change or delete what they logged. Only parents can change other people's entries. Parents choose whether helpers can see the weekly report (Settings → People who help → Can see weekly report, off by default). When the job ends, a parent taps Remove next to the helper's phone: it stops syncing right away and the shared log is cleared from it. Anything the helper had logged on their phone before joining is kept separate and comes back.

How do we stop sharing?
Settings → Share with a partner → Leave shared log keeps everything on this phone and stops syncing. Delete shared log also deletes the encrypted copy on our server for every phone.

I'm not getting feed reminders.
Feed reminders are off by default, because most babies feed on cue. If your care team asked you to feed on a schedule, choose an interval in Settings → Feed reminder and allow notifications in iOS Settings → Notifications → BabyOpa. Reminders are timed from the latest feed and don't fire while the baby is asleep.

When does the weekly report arrive?
Every Sunday at 7pm local time. You can also open the Report tab any time to see the last 7 days.

I logged something by mistake.
Tap Undo on the banner right after you log. Or tap the entry (on Today, or in See full history) to change its time or details, or to delete it.

Where is my data stored?
On your iPhone. If you share with a partner, also on their phone, and on our server in encrypted form we can't read. See the privacy policy.

Is this medical advice?
No. BabyOpa summarizes what you log. For any health concern, contact your pediatrician.
