Sign in to your diary.
Every bite leaves a trail. Log what your toddler eats — or what you eat while breastfeeding — and what follows. The pattern shows up over time, not in one entry.
Paste what you told Siri or wrote in Notes — e.g. "I had a cup of coffee" or "toddler ate a Woolworths banana muffin, started getting eczema after." It'll try to split food from symptoms and guess who ate it; check it before saving.
Tip: for breastfeeding mums, try logging breakfast, lunch, supper and any snacks as you go — it builds a fuller picture than logging only on bad days.
Tip: naming the ingredient itself (e.g. "milk", "wheat", "egg") helps the app catch slower-clearing proteins correctly.
Symptoms are always logged against your baby — but they'll be checked against what both baby and you have eaten.
Full access includes flare correlation, pump/expressed-milk timing, your complete history, and CSV export — a once-off R-/$47, no subscription.
Log a few entries to see patterns here.
A quick way to see whether symptoms are easing over the weeks since you removed a trigger — not just which food came right before one flare.
Dairy, soya, wheat and egg hide behind dozens of ingredient names and can turn up in foods you'd never suspect. Pick one to browse what to look for.
These names turn up often and sound allergenic, but their source varies — they're a prompt to check the label more closely, not a reason to cut the food out.
Contains — the allergen is intentionally in the product as an ingredient. May contain — the manufacturer is warning about possible accidental cross-contact during manufacturing, not a deliberate ingredient. Source unclear — the ingredient name doesn't tell you the source on its own, so it needs checking.
A food not carrying a "may contain" warning isn't guaranteed free of cross-contact, and a general list flagging a food as worth checking doesn't mean a specific product has that warning on its own pack. Always re-check the actual label and allergen statement, every time — packaging and recipes change.

Most food proteins clear from breastmilk within 24 hours, often within 6–8 hours. A few are slower: cow's milk protein is usually undetectable by about 6 hours, but reactions are typically watched for 3–6 days (immediate) or up to 14 days (delayed). Egg tends to clear within about 8 hours. Wheat and gluten usually clear within 24 hours too, though a small number of people still show traces at 48 hours, and rarely up to 72 hours. Peanut protein can appear very quickly — sometimes within 10 minutes — and typically peaks around 2 hours.
Many parents notice a first visible easing of symptoms within about 5 days of removing a suspected trigger — if nothing's changed by then, it's less likely to be the culprit. For full confirmation, though, clinical guidance recommends continuing the elimination for 2–4 weeks before judging it conclusively, since skin and gut inflammation usually take longer to fully settle than the trigger protein itself takes to clear.

This app uses a 24-hour window for most of your food, stretching to 72 hours for dairy and wheat/gluten specifically, and a 48-hour window for anything baby eats directly.
The possible-allergen tags that appear while you type are a rough guide to common ingredients, not a lab-tested list — always check the actual label, since recipes and brands vary.
