What’s the difference between the Now, Today & Goal sections?

In the Happy Baby app, you’ll find three different views for your baby’s daily schedule: Now, Today, and Goal. Each one helps you in a different way — depending on what you need in the moment. Here's how to use them:

Now: What matters right now

This is the default view when you open the app — and for a good reason!

• What it shows:
  Just the last, current, and next activity (e.g. nap, feed, wake window).

• Why it’s helpful:
  You don’t have to scroll through the whole day — just focus on what’s happening now and what’s coming up next.

• When to use it:
  Multiple times a day, for easy check-ins on what’s next in your baby’s rhythm.

Today: A dynamic plan for your baby’s day

This view gives you a full overview of your baby’s day — adjusted in real time.

• What it shows:
  A full daily schedule based on your baby’s actual wake-up time today, nap lengths, and sleep cues.

• Why it’s helpful:
  Life with a baby is never the same every day. Today adapts your schedule to reflect your baby’s actual day — helping you stay on track while still being flexible.

• When to use it:
  When you want to plan the rest of the day, adjust to changes, or check how naps are shifting.

Goal: Your long-term sleep rhythm

This is your ideal sleep schedule — based on your baby’s age and current sleep averages.

• What it shows:
  The mid-term plan we’re working toward — the most balanced rhythm for your baby at this stage.

• Why it’s helpful:
  It shows you where things are heading and helps you understand what a consistent, age-appropriate day might look like.

• Important:
  The Goal view does not update based on today’s wake-up or nap times — so it’s not meant for daily use.

• When to use it:
  Occasionally — to understand your baby’s ideal rhythm or to see progress over time.

If you're ever unsure what to follow, just start with Now – it's designed to keep you focused on what matters most in the moment.
