How to Use Baby Genesis

Start with your baby’s profile

When you first open the app, enter your baby’s name and date of birth, choose your role, and select the measurement system you want to use: metric or imperial. You can also add an initial weight and length if you want.

The date of birth helps the app show your baby’s age and adapt general sleep estimates to that age. Before you begin, read and accept the medical disclaimer: Baby Genesis is a personal tracking tool, not a substitute for a pediatrician or official medical records.

Add the latest activities you remember

For a more useful starting point, enter the latest feeding, diaper change, and sleep you remember. For sleep, add when your baby fell asleep and woke up — or mark that your baby is currently sleeping.

These starting records give Smart Assistant enough context for its first general estimates. If you skip this step, you can still use the app normally; it will simply need fresh records before it can show useful suggestions.

Log real activities as the day happens

From the home screen, quickly open an entry for feeding, sleep, diapers, or care. A single tap opens the more detailed entry where you can choose the information that matters for that event.

For diapers, you can record whether the diaper was wet, dirty, or both. Every saved entry remains in the activity log and updates the daily overview.

• breastfeeding, with left, right, or both breasts;
• bottle feeding, with the amount of milk in milliliters;
• pumping, with left, right, or both breasts and the amount expressed;
• solid food and feeds you forgot to log earlier.

Track sleep live or add it later

When your baby falls asleep, start sleep tracking. The app records the sleep start, shows the duration while sleep is active, and lets you end the record when your baby wakes up.

If you could not start tracking at the time, you can manually add a missed sleep by choosing the actual sleep and wake times. This keeps the logbook more accurate and allows the next sleep estimate to update from the real record.

In the Sleep section, you will also find your recorded sleep history, general age-based wake-window guidance, a suggested next nap, and sleep sounds such as white noise, rain, and heartbeat. A timer is also available to stop the sound automatically.

Use Smart Assistant as guidance, not an instruction

Smart Assistant on the home screen uses your baby’s age and the time of the latest recorded feeding, sleep, and diaper change to show what may come next.

If feeding and sleep are close together in time, the app can group them to make the next step easier to organize. If a record is stale, Smart Assistant first asks you to check and update the information.

These estimates are not medical advice and cannot know how your baby feels in every moment. Your baby’s real cues for hunger, tiredness, discomfort, or a diaper change always come first.

• the next feeding;
• a diaper check;
• the next sleep or start of a sleep routine;
• a recorded medication;
• the daily Vitamin D entry.

Enable notifications if you want reminders

Baby Genesis can schedule local reminders for estimated feeding, sleep, diaper changes, a recorded medication, and daily Vitamin D. To receive them, allow notifications when your phone asks for permission.

If notifications are disabled, your entries, logbook, and overviews still work, but you will not receive reminders outside the app. On some Android phones, stricter battery-saving settings can delay reminders; if that happens, check the battery settings for Baby Genesis.

Track health and everyday care

In a care entry, you can record temperature and medication given. When you log a medication, you can set a reminder for the next recorded dose. Before giving any medication, always check the actual schedule, the instructions from a healthcare professional, and your baby’s needs.

From the home screen, you can also record daily Vitamin D with one tap. The reminder is relevant only if Vitamin D is already part of a routine you have established with an appropriate healthcare professional.

Keep track of allergens and nutrition

In the Nutrition section, you can track breastfeeding, bottles, and solid foods, then explore guidance for starting solids, recipes, snacks, and finger-food ideas.

Allergen Tracker lets you mark foods as safe, as having caused a reaction, or as not yet introduced. Those labels are included in your baby’s health summary. Allergen tracking helps you remember your own entries; it is not a tool for diagnosing an allergy. If you suspect an allergic reaction, contact a qualified healthcare professional immediately.

Organize diaper supplies and expressed milk

In the Diapers section, you can enter how many diapers you have at home. After a recorded diaper change, the app reduces the supply and shows a low-inventory warning when the count becomes low.

In Milk Stash, each stored portion can include amount, pumping date and time, storage location, and, when relevant, freezing time. The app separates milk stored in the fridge, freezer, and history, marks which portion should be checked first, and lets you mark a portion as used or discarded.

You can also add an optional photo to a portion to make it easier to identify. Milk Stash reminders depend on notification permission.

Track development records and keep memories

In Statistics & Charts, you can record weight and height and review how your saved measurements change over time. Growth charts are for personal tracking of your own entries and are not a medical assessment of growth.

In Teething Tracker, tap the tooth that has erupted, choose the eruption date, and save the entry. The app builds your baby’s personal teething timeline.

Mom’s Diary, also called Letters for the Future, is for private messages and memories. You can write a letter, return to a saved draft, then edit, share, or delete it later.

Review the logbook and reports

Baby Logbook shows records by day. You can review feeding, sleep, diapers, health entries, notes, and teething, and return to earlier dates whenever you need context.

The 14-Day Report summarizes only what you recorded in Baby Genesis: feeding, sleep, and diaper counts together with exact saved times. If needed, you can create a PDF report and share it with someone you trust or a healthcare professional.

Keep a health summary in one place

Open Profile and find Health Passport. There you can enter information you want close at hand, such as blood type, Rh factor, allergies, birth weight and length, chronic conditions, current medications, vaccinations, pediatrician, emergency contact, insurance number, and additional notes.

When you need an overview, you can open the health summary or create a PDF for sharing. Share it only with people you trust because it contains sensitive information about your child.

Make the app your own

In Profile, you can change your baby’s name, date of birth, profile photo, app language, and measurement system. A long press on the profile photo on the home screen lets you turn dark mode on or off.

Your records are stored locally on your device. Protect your phone accordingly, and keep in mind that Baby Genesis currently does not use a user account to automatically sync records across multiple devices.
