Log a diaper change

Every diaper change should land in the daily feed. It's how parents know their child is OK, how admins spot patterns (a run of BMs might be illness), and how licensing audits confirm hygiene schedules.

Log one

1. Open the NestliCare app on your staff account.
2. Tap the Dashboard tab (bottom nav).
3. In the Quick Actions grid, tap Log Activity.
4. The Log Activity sheet opens. Tap the Diaper tile in the activity-type grid.
5. Pick the room pill, then tap the child's avatar (or multiple avatars for a bulk log).

1. 1Activity type grid — tap Diaper. Meal, Snack, Nap, Bottle, Potty, Mood, Note and Photo sit alongside; More Types has the rest
2. 2Room pills — horizontal. Tap your room to filter the child list below
3. 3Children — multi-select avatars. Tap the child (or children) you're diapering. Select All helps with a whole-room change

6. Scroll down and pick the Type — Wet / Dry / Both. ("Both" means wet + BM — the most common full change.)

Tap Save Activity (or Log for N Children for multi-child logs). The entry appears in the room feed and the parents' Home feed within a few seconds.

Add a photo (when it matters)

If there's a diaper rash or a skin issue you want parents aware of, attach a photo:

1. In the Log Activity screen, scroll to the Photos section.
2. Tap Tap to add photos (or Add for more).
3. Pick from library or take with the camera. Up to 5 photos per log.

Photos upload with an inline spinner. Red exclamation = upload failed; tap to retry.

Photos are stored encrypted and visible only to the child's approved parents + your center's staff.

What parents see

Parents get a push notification (if they've enabled them) and a new entry in the day's feed:

12:34 PM · Diaper change: wet + BM

…with your name attached as the teacher who logged it.

Fix a mistake

Tapped the wrong child? Logged "Wet" when it was "Both"?

1. Open today's feed for that room.
2. Find the entry, tap ⋯ → Edit or Delete.
3. Edits are audited — admins can see the change log.

Delete is only allowed within a few minutes of posting. After that, edit the entry instead (add a correction note) rather than deleting — it keeps the audit trail clean.

Troubleshooting

Child isn't in the picker. You're not assigned to their room. Ask your admin to add you to that room on your staff record.

App says "pending approval." Your org has diaper logs set to require admin approval before parents see them. The entry is saved but won't show in the parent feed until an admin approves — common in licensing-strict states.

Photo upload fails. Check your internet. The app stores the entry locally and will retry the photo upload for up to 24 hours. After that, it drops the image (the text log stays).

Parent says they didn't see it. Confirm "Share with parents" was on when you saved. If it was off, edit the entry to flip it on and it will appear in their feed retroactively.
