Set device reminders

Device reminders prompt you to open a care tracker at a chosen time. They do not create an activity automatically.

Who this guide is for

Families using the supported mobile app on a phone. Reminders can be created for Breastfeed, Bottles, Sleep, Nappies, Pumping, Medication and Solids.

Set a reminder

  1. Open Reminders from the family menu.
  2. Select the card for the activity type.
  3. Choose the number of hours and minutes from now.
  4. Choose One-off or Repeatedly.
  5. Select Set Reminder.
  6. Allow notifications if your phone asks for permission.

A zero-minute countdown is changed to one minute. Repeating reminders must be at least 15 minutes apart; the app adjusts a shorter choice and explains the change.

There can be one routine reminder for each activity type on a device. Setting another reminder for the same type replaces the previous one.

Check an active reminder

Return to Reminders to see whether each card is active.

  • A one-off reminder shows when it is due or approximately how much time remains.
  • A repeating reminder shows its interval and the time until the next notification.

The list refreshes while the screen is open, so a one-off reminder that has fired may disappear shortly afterwards.

Cancel a reminder

Select the active reminder card or switch. Wait until the card confirms that it is no longer active before leaving the screen.

Allergy Ladder stage reminders are managed from the ladder itself, not from these routine reminder cards.

Reminders stay on one device

Routine reminders are stored on the phone where they were created. They do not sync to another phone, family member or coach, and they are not part of the baby's care history.

If a coach opens Reminders while viewing a family, any reminder is created on the coach's own phone. It does not change or display reminders on the family's device.

The phone may show reminder text on the lock screen according to your notification privacy settings.

Browser and phone limitations

Real reminders require the installed mobile app and notification permission. A normal browser cannot deliver them.

Your phone's battery, focus, notification and background settings can delay or suppress a reminder even when the app shows it as scheduled.

If something goes wrong

  • Permission was denied: enable notifications for Littles Baby Tracker in your phone settings, then set the reminder again.
  • Reminder does not appear as active: wait for the list to refresh; if scheduling failed, keep the card open and retry.
  • Cancellation did not finish: leave the card active until a refresh confirms removal, then try again.
  • No notification arrived: check notification, focus and battery settings and confirm you used the installed phone app rather than a browser.
  • Tapping a notification does not open the expected tracker: open Littles Baby Tracker manually and select the tracker from Family Home.
  • A reminder appears on the wrong person's phone: reminders belong to the device, so cancel it on that device and recreate it on the intended phone.
