Sleep, nappy, milk and meal reminders

Step by step5 stepsUpdated 27 October 2026

A gentle nudge before the next sleep, the next milk or the next meal, and when a nappy is due. They are for the whole family, and part of the Family plan.

Short answer

Open Settings. At the top, under Reminders, tap the switch next to Sleep reminder, Nappy reminder, Milk feed reminder or Meal reminder. A change is for the whole family.

Veilleuse is for iPhone.

Where they are

  1. Tap Baby at the bottom right of the screen.
  2. On the baby screen, tap the same square again. It now shows a gear: Settings.
  3. The reminders are at the top of Settings, under Reminders.

The four family reminders

  • Sleep reminder: it comes 15 minutes before the next sleep is likely. It starts once 3 days of naps and nights are logged. It uses the same times as her usual day on the Home cards.
  • Nappy reminder: 3 hours after the last nappy, then every hour until the next one is logged.
  • Milk feed reminder: 15 minutes before her next bottle or breastfeed, once 3 days of feeds are logged. It follows her usual day, so it waits while she sleeps.
  • Meal reminder: 15 minutes before her next meal, once 3 days of meals are logged.

Sleep and nappy are on at first. Milk and meal are off until someone switches them on. All four are for the whole family. When someone switches one off, it is off on every phone. The line under it then says who did it.

Tap a reminder on your lock screen: Veilleuse opens Home on that baby.

Switch one off or on

  1. In Settings, under Reminders, find the reminder.
  2. Tap the switch on its right.

If you see Could not change this. Try again., check your Wi-Fi or mobile data, then tap the switch again.

Timers from others

When another carer starts a timer, this switch shows it on your lock screen, with a quiet alert. This one is only for your phone, not for the family.
