Diaper tracker · Elly for iPhone
Diaper changes, recorded for the next person.
Keep a simple record of completed diaper changes. Elly puts the entry, time and caregiver context with the rest of the child’s day.

A timestamp and useful context
Record the completed change and add a note if another caregiver needs it. An entry describes what happened, rather than a future task.
Part of the care history
Look back at diaper entries alongside other recorded care. The next adult can find the latest update without reconstructing a message thread.

A shortcut to the diaper log

Diaper tracker questions
The details, answered.
Which diaper categories can I record?
The app offers Wet, Dirty, Both and Dry.
Is this a medical assessment?
No. The log records observations; it does not diagnose conditions or define a normal frequency for your child.
Can I start with a paper log?
Yes. Our free printable diaper log is linked below, so your care team can try a shared recording habit before choosing an app.
Can parents and a nanny contribute to the same diaper history?
Adults with the relevant family and child access can record care in the shared workspace. Agree who will log each change so one event is not entered twice.
Where can I find the day’s diaper count?
The home overview includes a diaper total alongside feeding and sleep. It reflects recorded entries, so a change that nobody logged will not be represented.
Should I create a task or log a diaper change?
Use a care entry after the change happened. A task is useful for work still to do, such as restocking supplies, but it does not record a completed diaper change.
