How to move from Nara Baby to Cocoon
Keep your baby's history when you switch: Cocoon imports your Nara Baby export in a few minutes, with a preview before you save.
Export your data from Nara Baby, then save the file to your phone, then choose it in Cocoon’s import screen. A computer is optional. Cocoon recognises it as Nara Baby, shows a preview, skips duplicates and brings across breastfeeds, bottles, sleep, nappies, pumping, solids, growth measurements, temperatures and medicines.
What you need
A CSV file.
Step 1 — export from Nara Baby
- In Nara Baby, open Activity and tap the avatar beside your child's name.
- Tap Export Data to save the CSV file.
- Email it to yourself or save it, then upload it to Cocoon.
Step 2 — import into Cocoon
- Save the export to Files on your iPhone or Downloads on Android. Keep the original file as a backup.
- In Cocoon, open Care → Import from another app. On older versions use Settings → Data & privacy → Import data. You can also use app.getcocoonapp.com/import in a browser.
- Choose your export file. Check the detected app, the baby receiving the records, the dates and any missing fields in the preview.
- Confirm when the preview looks right. Already-imported records are skipped; unreadable rows are listed. You can undo the import straight afterwards.
- Imported measurements appear in Growth; care logs appear in the Journal. To sync between devices, sign in to the same account and select the same baby and family.
