Log Care Hands-Free with Ask EchoMom

Why voice logging helps when you are exhausted

At 3 a.m., the hard part is often not caring for the baby. It is remembering when the feed started, which side you used, or whether the last wake was one hour ago or three. A quick spoken log gets that fact out of your head and into the same record your care circle can use.

Open Ask EchoMom and say it normally

The center EchoMom button in the bottom navigation opens the EchoMom agent and starts voice input. You do not need a command phrase or special vocabulary.

1. Choose the correct child at the top of the app.
2. Tap EchoMom in the bottom navigation.
3. Say something natural, such as “John started sleeping,” “John woke at 2:10,” or “John finished a 120 mL bottle at 1:45.”
4. Read EchoMom's response, then open Calendar if you need to check or correct the saved time.

Say enough to help your future self

Start with what happened. Add a time only when it was not just now, then add one useful detail. For a feed, that might be the side, amount, or duration. For sleep, the start and wake times matter more than a long description.

1. Name the care event: sleep, wake, nursing, bottle, diaper, medicine, or another supported event.
2. Add the time if you are logging it late.
3. Add one detail only if it changes what the next caregiver should know.

Use the result at the next handoff

Saved care events appear in Calendar and in the child's shared context. A partner or caregiver who has the right access can check the last feed, nap, or medicine entry without waking you for a recap.

What to remember

• Tap EchoMom in the bottom navigation and speak the way you would talk to your partner.
• Include the event, the time if it was not just now, and only the detail that will matter later.
• Accurate sleep and wake logs give Sleep time better information for its next estimate.
