FOR CAREGIVERS

How to use Alfonso as a grandparent or caregiver: a simple guide

You want to help, but you don't always know what the baby needs right now. The parents ask "did they sleep well?" and you don't have the details on hand. You don't want to call them every hour to ask something that might already be written down somewhere. This guide is exactly for that — four steps, nothing complicated.

The only thing you need: a link

No account to create, no password to remember. Your child, or whoever invited you, sends you a link over text. You tap it from your phone, and you're in — seeing the same thing they see, in real time.

The first thing you'll see: the baby's status, right there

When you open the app, without searching for anything, you see whether the baby is sleeping (and for how long), when the next feed is due, and a summary of the last few hours. That's enough to answer "did they sleep well?" with real data, not a general impression — and to know what to do yourself, without calling to ask.

How to avoid the most common mistake: feeding too soon

Before offering another feed, check "Next feed." If it says "Now," it's a good time. If there's still time left, the app shows you right away — so you don't repeat a feed that was already given not long ago, which is exactly what worries anyone caring for a baby they don't see every day.

Logging what you did, in 3 taps

After a feed, a diaper change, or a nap, logging it takes seconds: tap the right icon, pick the type and time, done. The parents see it show up instantly on their phone, no separate text needed to fill them in.

Frequently asked questions for grandparents and caregivers

Do I need to create an account or download anything complicated?

No, tapping the link they sent you is enough — no username or password.

What happens if I log something by mistake?

You can edit or delete it afterward, no problem — nothing is lost.

Will the parents see what I log?

Yes, and that's the point — everything syncs instantly so they know what happened while they were away.
