How to get the most out of Baby Care
Home — Your daily dashboard. See today's summary, tap Quick Log to record a feed, sleep, diaper, medicine, vaccine, or doctor visit, and check Care Reminders for what's due. Tap a reminder's circle to mark it done (with an undo option).
Growth — Record weight and height, switch between metric and imperial, and view trends on the charts. Tap an entry to edit or delete it.
Timeline — Browse everything by date on the calendar. Filter by type, tap any entry to see details, edit, or delete.
Notes — Capture observations, questions, and milestones. Attach photos, pin important notes, mark notes important, and search.
Ask — Ask plain questions about your logged data, e.g. "How many feeds this week?", "What's the weight?", "Next appointment", or "Missed anything?". Answers are computed on your device.
Add a medicine schedule (Settings → Medicines) to get a daily reminder at each dose time. Vaccines and doctor visits remind you one hour before.
Manage categories and Quiet Hours in Settings → Reminders & Notifications. Appointment reminders that fall inside Quiet Hours are deferred until quiet hours end; medicine doses still alert on time because they're time-critical. If notifications don't appear, make sure they're allowed for Baby Care in iOS Settings.
When you're signed in to iCloud, your data syncs privately across your devices through your own iCloud account. Check the sync status in Settings → Cloud Sync. If it shows "Local", verify you're signed in to iCloud and that iCloud Drive is on.
Add Baby Care widgets to your Home Screen or Lock Screen from the iOS widget gallery for an at-a-glance view of recent care. You can tune what the dashboard and widgets show in Settings.
When you start a sleep or feed session, or when a medicine dose is due, a Live Activity appears on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island so you can follow it without opening the app. These run entirely on your device.
How do I end a sleep I'm still tracking?
Open the in-progress sleep entry and tap "End sleep now".
How do I correct an entry?
Tap it in the Timeline (or Recent on Home) and choose Edit.
How do I start over?
Settings → Delete Everything removes all data and returns you to onboarding. This cannot be undone.
Is my data shared with anyone?
No. See the Privacy Policy.
