One tap per change
Wet and Dirty buttons sit on the Android widget and on Today, and you can add Wet & dirty. Each change is logged with one tap once you are done.
A diaper tracker you can use with one hand
Tap Wet, Dirty or both on the widget or in the app. Ella counts every change, shows when the last one was and keeps the whole family up to date.

Quick answer
How many diapers should a newborn have?
- Wet diapers: at least 1-2 a day on days 1-2 and 3-4 on days 3-4, then 6 or more heavy ones from day 5. Fewer: get medical advice now.
- Poop turns from black and sticky to yellow by about day 5. Pale, white or gray poop: get medical advice now.
- Breastfed, from day 4: at least 2 poops a day. Fewer: call your doctor, nurse or midwife today. Formula-fed: usually at least 1 a day.
- No wet diaper for 8 hours: get medical advice now. For 12 hours or more: call your local emergency number or go to the emergency department now.

Newborn questions this helps with
Wet, dirty or both
Ella keeps diapers simple: wet, dirty, or wet and dirty, each one tap. The time is filled in for you, and you can edit it if you log a change a bit later. That is usually all a day's log needs.
One tap after each change, even in the dark
Right after the change, tap Wet, Dirty or Wet & dirty on the widget. Keep both hands for your baby until then. At night the buttons are large enough to hit in the dark, and night mode keeps the screen dim. The time is filled in, and the time since the last diaper resets on every phone in the family, with the name of whoever logged it.
What the pediatrician will ask
In the first days home, many parents are asked to keep an eye on diapers, and check-ups often include a question about them. The daily chart has the count for each day. When it matters, add a poop color to a dirty diaper, or mark a diaper rash on any diaper. On Android, the PDF summary lists the counts with the colors and rashes you noted.
How many today? Reading the diaper chart
At the end of a long day nobody remembers how many diapers there were. Charts show wet and dirty diapers per day, side by side; tap any day for the exact numbers, or switch to 14 or 30 days for the longer picture.

Other ways to track
Questions parents ask
Can I log a diaper without opening the app?
Yes, on Android. The widget has diaper buttons right on your home screen.
Can Ella tell if my baby has enough wet diapers?
Ella counts the diaper changes you record. It does not assess feeding or hydration. The newborn diaper guide covers wet and dirty diapers for breastfed babies in their first week and explains when to get help. Follow your baby's care team's advice.
Can I record poop color?
Yes, as an optional detail on a dirty diaper. You can also mark a diaper rash on any diaper.
Does everyone in the family see the changes?
Yes. Every diaper anyone logs shows up in the shared journal at once.
Can I export the diaper log?
Yes. On Android you can export the journal as a CSV file or create a PDF summary.
