Before you start
Log is your saved care history. Use this guide if the app recorded the wrong time or event, or if you forgot to stop a timer. Choose the correct child first. The assistant can misunderstand corrections, so check the final record before another caregiver relies on it.
Assume tired-parent mistakes will happen
A timer gets left running, a nap is entered an hour late, or a voice message records the wrong event. That is normal when you are caring for a baby on little sleep. EchoMom can repair the saved record, so you do not need to remember which edit screen holds each field.
Say the correction plainly
Open EchoMom and describe the change as you would to another caregiver. Words such as actually, change, delete, and that was help identify that you are correcting an existing event rather than adding another one.
Tap EchoMom, the speech bubble in the center of the bottom navigation. This opens the conversation where you can speak or type your request.
EchoMom. EchoMom opens the conversation where you can speak or type a request.
- Try: “Change the last nap to start at 1:20 p.m.”
- Try: “Delete the last sleep entry. He was out on a walk.”
- Try: “That bottle was 120 mL, not 210 mL.”
- Read the confirmation before making another correction.
Rebuild a broken night in order
If you remember several sleep periods, tell EchoMom the sequence in one message: when sleep began, when the baby woke, and when sleep started again. EchoMom can create the known events in order instead of forcing you through the same screen repeatedly.
- Start with the earliest time you know.
- Separate each sleep and wake period clearly.
- Say still sleeping when the final sleep has not ended.
- Leave out any start or end time you would only be guessing.
Check Log before relying on the pattern
Open Log and scan the corrected period. Make sure the event type, child, start, end, amount, or side matches what you meant. Correcting the record helps future handoffs and sleep summaries, but it cannot recover details nobody remembers.
Tap Log, the calendar icon second from the left in the bottom navigation. This opens the selected child’s saved care events.
Log. Log opens the selected child’s care timeline, where you can review and correct saved events.
Check the child’s name, then use the calendar at the top-right to choose the day you want to review.
Child selector. Keep the same child selected when you check a saved event.
Calendar. Choose the date of the event you want to find.
In Log, scroll through the selected day to find the event. Tap its colored block to open the details and correct a known mistake.

Nursing event. Read the saved start and end times before relying on the handoff.
What to remember
- Tell EchoMom what was wrong and what the known correction should be.
- You can correct, remove, or add more than one known event in a conversation.
- Review Log afterward; a useful record matters more than filling every gap.
