FAQ
Questions parents ask
What is Buma?
Buma is a baby journal for iPhone and Android. You log sleep, feeds, nappies, tummy time and anything else you invent — and both parents share one baby, so you're writing into the same history instead of two half-complete ones.
Can two parents really use the same baby?
Yes, and it's the point. One of you creates the family and sends an invite code; whoever joins sees every baby in it and can create and edit the same entries. Each entry records who logged it and who last edited it.
How do the sleep predictions work?
Babies can only stay comfortably awake so long. Buma counts forward from the last wake-up using a wake window that starts at what's typical for your baby's age and adjusts as you log real naps. It gives you a window to aim at, not a deadline.
What if I forget to log things?
Nothing happens. There are no streaks, no badges and nothing to catch up on. Buma works with whatever you managed to record.
Does it work if my baby was born early?
Yes. Tell Buma how many weeks early and it uses corrected age throughout — for wake windows, for milestone suggestions and for growth — so nothing looks behind that isn't.
Can I use my own units?
Yes. Millilitres or ounces, grams or pounds, centimetres or inches, Celsius or Fahrenheit. Buma keeps one canonical number and shows each of you your own units, so two parents on different settings still see totals that agree.
Is Buma medical advice?
No. Buma is a record-keeping app, not a medical device, and nothing it shows you — including anything Ask Buma says — is medical advice. Talk to a healthcare professional about anything that concerns you.
What does it cost?
Buma starts with a free trial, after which a subscription unlocks everything. One subscription covers everyone in your family rather than one per parent.
When can I download it?
Soon, on both the App Store and Google Play. Leave your email on our home page and we'll tell you the day it's out.
Can I keep photos in Buma?
Yes — that's what Memories is. A photo, a line about what happened and the day it belongs to, kept on a calendar you can scroll back through. Only the people you've invited to your family can see them, and adding one tells the other parent rather than waiting to be noticed.
What is the tooth chart for?
Tapping a tooth the day it comes through gives you a record of all twenty, and each one shows the age range most babies get it in. Those ranges are wide on purpose and nothing is ever marked overdue — teeth arrive when they arrive.
What languages does Buma speak?
The app is in 18 languages, and Ask Buma answers in whichever one you asked the question in. This website is in five so far.
