Log something that happened earlier

Step by step14 stepsUpdated 27 October 2026

Every log asks when. Choose a time in the list, or type it, and the entry lands where it belongs.

Short answer

Open the log with the + on the Home card. On the page that asks when, tap a time such as 30 min ago, or tap Another time and type it. For a sleep, a breastfeed or pumping that is over, choose that it is already done first.

Veilleuse is for iPhone.

Choose the time

Every log has a page that asks when, such as When? It shows a list:

  • Just now
  • 5, 10, 15 and 30 min ago
  • 1 hour ago
  • Another time

Tap one of them. Each shows its clock time. They count back from now. A tick shows your choice. Then tap the button at the bottom. This one list is on every log and every timer.

A time the page cannot take is greyed: later than now, before the start, or before the last one of its kind ended.

Type another time

  1. Tap Another time. A large field opens.
  2. Type the time with the keyboard, for example 4:15. On an iPhone set to a 12-hour clock, tap AM or PM under it.
  3. Under the time, tap Today, Yesterday or Another day. For another day, type the date.
  4. Tap the button at the bottom.

So you can log a day that is not today, as long as it is not in the future and not before your baby was born.

If you see That is later than now. Change the time., the time is later than now. Change it, and the button works again.

A nappy, a bottle, a meal, a bath, a medicine

  1. Open the log with the + on the Home card.
  2. Answer the first pages.
  3. On the page that asks when, choose or type the time.
  4. Tap Save.

For growth or a vaccine, the page asks for the day instead: Today, Yesterday or Another day.

A sleep, a breastfeed or pumping that is over

These three start a timer. To log one that is already finished:

  1. Open the log with the + on the Home card.
  2. On the page that asks if it runs now, tap the second answer: your baby already woke up, or Already done.
  3. Tap Next.
  4. For a sleep: choose when your baby fell asleep, then when they woke up.
  5. For a feed or a pump: choose when it ended, then how long it took, such as 15 min or Another length.
  6. Tap Save.

If you see That is before it started., the end is before the start. Change one of the two times. The button works again. If you see That is before the last one ended., the time is before the end of the last one of its kind. Choose a later time.

A timer that started earlier

A sleep, a breastfeed or pumping that is still going, but started a few minutes ago? Start the timer as usual. On the page that asks when it started, tap the real time, such as 10 min ago. The button then shows that time, and the timer counts from it.

The timer already runs from the wrong time? On Home, tap Fell asleep earlier? or Started earlier? under it. See Start and stop a timer.

By voice

You can also say it, with the day, for example "bottle of 120 ml yesterday at 4 pm". Voice is part of the Family plan. See Log by voice.
