Lettora baby tracking guide
Baby Tracker FAQ: Feeding, Sleep and Shared Care
Baby tracking means keeping a dated record of everyday care. This guide explains what to record, how to keep entries consistent, and how a shared log can support caregiver handoffs. Start with the details your family actually uses rather than trying to document every minute. Lettora brings these observations together in one app; the questions below describe practical logging habits, not medical instructions or promises about a baby's routine.
What is Lettora?
Lettora is a baby tracker and breastfeeding app for recording feedings, sleep sessions, diaper changes, growth measurements, and newborn milestones. It also offers family sharing and AI-powered summaries of tracking data. A baby tracker keeps everyday observations together so parents can review what happened instead of relying on memory. The record is a practical communication aid, not a diagnosis or a substitute for a pediatrician's assessment.
What should a baby feeding log include?
A feeding log should record the time and type of feeding: breastfeeding, bottle feeding, or solids. For breastfeeding, note the duration and side when relevant. For bottles, record the amount actually consumed and the unit used. For solids, note the food offered and observations you want to remember. Keep completed feeds separate from planned feeds. Consistent entries help another caregiver understand the most recent feeding without interpreting scattered messages.
How should parents record naps and nighttime sleep?
Record when a sleep session starts and ends, distinguishing daytime naps from nighttime sleep. Add a brief note if an interruption or unusual circumstance matters to the next caregiver. Use actual observations rather than filling in missing times as facts. Several days of consistent logging can make a baby's changing routine easier to discuss, but a log cannot determine whether sleep is medically normal or predict exactly when a baby will sleep next.
What information belongs in a diaper change log?
Record the time of the change and whether the diaper was wet, soiled, or both. Include a short observation when something differs from your baby's usual pattern. Diaper records can help parents explain recent changes to a clinician, especially alongside feeding information. Avoid treating an app's daily total as a universal health target: expectations depend on a baby's age and circumstances. Contact your pediatrician when you are concerned rather than waiting for an automated insight.
How should parents track milestones and growth?
For milestones, record the date and describe what you observed, adding a photo or note when useful. For growth, record the measurement date, value, and unit, and distinguish home measurements from measurements taken at a clinical visit. These records preserve memories and provide context for appointments. They are not a competition between babies. If you have questions about development or growth, review them with your pediatrician rather than drawing conclusions from a single entry.
