Set up a routine

A routine is a short list of clock times for one baby, such as a bottle at 09:00 or a nap at 13:30. Each baby has their own. Cozibud shows what's next, fills in the details when you log it, and ticks each time off for the whole household.

Robin's routine: an activity checklist with Add a goal, then a list of times from 06:00 nursing for 20 minutes to 21:00 bottle of 120 ml formula, and Add a time.
Open Settings, choose the baby, then Routine.

Add times​

  1. Open Settings, tap the baby, then Routine.
  2. With no times yet, Cozibud suggests times from the last 7 days. Choose Use these times to start from them, or Start empty.
  3. Choose Add a time. Pick the activity (bottle, nursing, sleep, pump, nappy or solids), the time and the days it repeats. You can add a name such as Nap, an aim such as 120 ml or 1 h 30, and for bottles the milk type.
  4. Tap a time to change or delete it.

Use it through the day​

  • See what's next: Log shows the next time just below the baby's name, such as Nursing · 20 min, in 1 h 04, or due. Tap it to open the routine. The Events list starts with the next time and a Log button, and Day view shows upcoming times as dashed blocks.
  • Log it: when a time is due or within the next hour, starting or saving that activity fills in the routine's aim and milk type. A running timer shows a bar towards its aim.
  • It ticks itself off: logging the same activity near a routine time ticks it off for everyone, and the record shows a small check. To change which time a record counts for, open it and choose another time under Counts for, or Not part of the routine.
  • Reminders: turn on Routine times in Settings → Preferences → Notification settings for a reminder at each time, unless someone has already logged it. On Android, Log on the reminder saves a bottle, nappy or solids, or starts the timer, without opening the app; Undo is offered afterwards, and In 15 min reminds you again later.

Activity goals​

The Activity checklist at the top of the routine tracks daily or weekly goals, such as tummy time twice a day or for 10 minutes a day.

  1. Choose Add a goal, pick an activity and set a target in times or minutes. You can have both.
  2. Saved activities from every caregiver count automatically. Minute goals add up completed activities that have a start and end time.
  3. Tap a goal to change its target or remove it.

Daily goals reset at midnight in your household's time zone; weeks start on Monday. Ideas for play time shows unfinished play goals another caregiver could help with. These are your family's own goals, not developmental targets.
