Naps and nights

One tap starts a sleep, one tap ends it, and baybay works out how long it ran so you never type a duration.

Tap Log sleep when they go down and tap again when they wake. baybay works out how long it ran, so you never type a duration.

The Log a sleep sheet: Nap and Night side by side, a large Start button, and the start time showing Now.
Say whether it is a nap or the night, and tap Start.

Naps and nights are the same two taps

When you start a sleep you say whether it is a nap or the night. Everything after that is identical: a timer runs on the log screen while they are asleep, and ending it records the length.

The distinction exists because the dashboard treats them differently — naps count towards the day's totals, nights drive the bedtime chart — not because they work differently while you are logging them.

A running nap on the log screen: Napping since 11:14 AM, a large teal timer reading 1h 36m, and a green End nap button.
While they are asleep the log screen carries a running timer.

The night carries across midnight by itself

Start the night at 7:40pm and end it at 6:10am, and baybay records one sleep of ten and a half hours. You do not split it, and you do not tell it which day it belongs to.

You can log a feed while a sleep is running

Worth knowing

The feed and sleep buttons are always both there. A baby who is fed while still dozing, or fed the moment they wake before anyone has touched a phone, is the normal case rather than the exception — so nothing is hidden while a timer runs.

You can also record a sleep that has already finished while a different one is still going. The only thing baybay refuses is two sleeps running at once.

Forgot to end one?

Very common, and it takes one tap plus a correction. Ending a nap you forgot about.

Dream feeds and late entries

Nothing has to be entered when it happens. Put the sleep in afterwards and set the times back. Logging something afterwards.
