Questions, answered

Yes. Every feature is free right now — no ads, no subscription. Logging, the journal, nap forecasts, the sleep program, charts, reports, the guides and multi-caregiver sync are all free today. Logging, history and family sharing will always be free.

Logging, history and family sharing will always be free. If we ever add paid extras, we'll say so clearly first — and we won't charge for anything you already use for free.

No. You can set up your baby and start logging without an account — everything saves on your phone. A free account adds backup, sync across your devices, the caregivers you invite, a second child and the optional AI features.

Cocoon is on the App Store for iPhone (iOS 15 or later), and in private beta on Android: join the beta and we'll email you a Google Play test invite. You can also use Cocoon on the web — handy for importing from a computer.

Parents and anyone who shares the care — partners, grandparents, nannies and daycare — from the newborn days into the toddler years. It suits breastfed, bottle-fed, pumped and combination-fed babies, and premature babies via corrected age.

Cocoon is made with care in Australia, for families in Australia, the UK, the US and beyond. Units, words (nappy or diaper), guide wording and helpline numbers follow your region.

Breastfeeds (left and right), bottles, pumping and the milk stash, solids and allergens, nappies, potty training, naps and night sleep, activities like tummy time and bath, growth, temperatures, medicines, vaccinations, teeth, milestones, doctor visits, and a photo and video journal — plus a private wellbeing check-in for you.

One tap. Each Home tile logs the usual thing — the breast side you're due to start on, your usual bottle, your last nappy type, a nap or night sleep — and a toast offers Undo or the alternative. It works one-handed and fully offline.

Yes. Tap the mic on Home and say something like “wet nappy”, “start nap” or “120 ml formula bottle”. Cocoon uses your phone's own speech recognition, keeps no audio, and shows the entry to confirm before logging.

Completely. Cocoon is offline-first: every entry saves on your phone straight away and syncs to your family when you're back online, so you can log on a walk, on a plane or in the nursery at 3am.

Yes. Every entry can be edited or deleted, and a deleted entry can be put back. When logging, choose Just now, 5, 15 or 30 minutes, or an hour ago, or set the exact time.

With enough recorded history, Cocoon shows a planning window based on your baby’s own intervals. It explains the data used and keeps time since waking visible when history is limited. Follow your baby’s cues and any clinician-agreed plan.

No. Cocoon's forecasts are plain, deterministic maths that show their working. AI is never asked to choose a time, a confidence level, a safety message or a notification.

Cocoon shows elapsed time without substituting an age-based schedule. Recorded feed intervals need at least three logged days; sleep intervals need at least five. More detailed estimates need additional comparable records.

Yes. You can read source-linked guides, record what you try and compare recorded nights. Cocoon does not automatically increase crying intervals, reduce night feeds or change your bedtime.

Before eight weeks corrected age, the sleep forecast shows time awake without a predicted sleep time. Feeding estimates, when available from logs, describe recorded patterns and must not override feeding cues or your clinician’s plan.

Yes. It records the side you finished on and shows the side to start on next, right on Home.

Yes. Log pumping per side, send milk to the fridge, freezer or deep freezer, and the stash lists batches oldest first with storage time-guide reminders — an estimate of coverage based on recorded bottles.

A device-local record of drinks and their recorded times, with a link to CDC information about alcohol and breastfeeding. It does not calculate a safe-to-feed time or tell you that alcohol has cleared.

Cocoon charts recorded measurements under age two. CDC 2000 percentiles apply to weight, standing height and BMI from ages 2–20. Head circumference and weight-for-length remain recorded history without reference percentiles. Infant charts can use corrected age for prematurity.

Yes. Set a dose interval and Cocoon reminds you for each dose, shows a “next dose OK in…” countdown on Home, and asks you to confirm if a dose looks early — so you're never guessing when the last dose of paracetamol went in.

Yes. The checkup report makes a PDF with growth charts, feeding, sleep and nappy patterns, fevers, medicines, vaccines, milestones and your questions for the doctor. You can also share a 7, 14 or 30-day summary as PDF or CSV.

No. Cocoon is for observation and context, not medical advice, and it isn't a medical device. It gives you clear records and referenced guides, and always points you to your doctor or child-health nurse with any concern. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.

Yes. Invite them once with a link and everyone shares the same live log from their own phone. Choose Admin, Caregiver (log and view) or View-only access, and start each shift with the Today handoff.

Yes. Invite them as View-only: they can see records but not edit them. You can change anyone's access or remove them at any time.

Yes. Add another child with a free account and switch between children on the Care tab; each child keeps their own log, journal and reports.

Cocoon catches it. If two phones time the same nap, the second is discarded with a note — “Already logged on another device — kept theirs” — so the day isn't double-counted.

Yes. Row-level security means only your family can see your child's records; data is encrypted in transit and at rest; photos are served through signed links that expire. Cocoon shows no ads and never sells your data. The app's own usage analytics never include the content of your logs, photos or journal.

Always. Export everything creates one file per child with every log, growth measurement and journal entry, plus photos and videos, which restores on any device. It's a real backup and a genuine exit — no lock-in.

In the app: Settings → Data & privacy → Profile & account → Delete account, then type DELETE to confirm. It removes your account and the records of any child only you manage. Can't open the app? Email privacy@getcocoonapp.com from the account's address.

The Feed-safe timer never leaves your phone, and a pump session stays on it until you stop it; then it's logged like anything else. Your mood check-ins and their notes back up with your account, but only you can see them: not your partner, and not anyone else you invite. Everything else syncs only to your own family once you sign in.

Yes. Cocoon imports from Huckleberry, Baby Tracker (and Nighty Night), Baby Connect, Baby Daybook, Nara Baby, Cubtale, Glow Baby, Day One, Journey and Apple Journal, your camera roll and any CSV — feeds, sleep, nappies, pumping, growth and more, depending on the app. Importing the same file twice is safe because duplicates are skipped, and an import can be undone straight afterwards. See the step-by-step guide for each app.

From a computer: open app.getcocoonapp.com/import, sign in with the same account and drag your export file in. Cocoon detects which app it came from, shows a preview, and syncs everything to your phone.

Cocoon checks. Before importing, it shows which day it's about to file each entry on — reading dates the way the family who exported them wrote them — and lets you correct day-first or month-first.

Only if you want it. Optional AI features — an assistant that answers questions about your own logs, a day-sheet scan, a sleep-plan write-up and a weekly note — are powered by Claude from Anthropic. Nothing is sent until you agree, and every other feature works without AI.

Each feature lists what it sends before you agree — for the assistant, your question and the logs, growth and guides it looks up for your child. Cocoon instructs Anthropic to use your data only to answer you, not to train its general models.

Settings → Data & privacy → AI features. Once they're off, nothing more is sent.

Yes. On iPhone, the Active care widget and Live Activities show running feeds, pumps, naps and the Feed-safe countdown on the Home Screen, Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, with Pause and Stop. On Android, a widget and an ongoing notification do the same.

Yes, on iPhone: “Start a left feed in Cocoon”, “Stop the feed in Cocoon”, “Start a nap in Cocoon”, “Baby's awake in Cocoon”, “Log a wet nappy in Cocoon” and “Log a bottle in Cocoon” all work, even with the phone locked.

Yes. Cocoon uses your region's units (ml or oz, °C or °F, kg or lb) and words (nappy or diaper, GP or pediatrician), and its 225 guides come in Australian, British and American editions with your own helpline numbers.

Cocoon follows your phone's text size up to 200%, has a Night theme for 3am, supports Increase Contrast and Reduce Motion, names every control for screen readers, and gives charts text summaries.
