The other part of your Dote Diary are the insights, and there are 3 different areas; list, trends and patterns.
The more entries you make (ideally track everything) the more accurate and useful the insights will be for you.
For each, you can alter the time period you’re looking at, at the top.
List
This shows all entries for a specific day from the latest at the top. It will always start on the current day, and you can swipe left (or right) to choose a different day.
At the top, it will show you some summary information for the current day, on each category’s tile.
Sleep: total sleep (so far) and number of sleeps/naps.
Nursing: total time nursing and how much on each breast.
Bottle: total amount and number of bottles.
Diapers: total number of changes and the mix of types.
Underneath, you will see a list of entries from the most recent at the top. You can edit or delete by tapping on an entry.
If you tap on a tile, you filter it out of the list. So you can just look at nursing and bottles for example.
Trends
Initially, you’ll see an overview of each category for the last 7 days, including the current day. You’ll see a bar chart of the total per day, with an average per recorded day.
Average per day / daily average means the average per recorded day, not the average across the time period you’re viewing. Please try to enter as much information as you can, otherwise the stats you see may not be that useful.
Click on ‘see full stats’ to see more for each category.
