Switching from Huckleberry

Months of logging is a real reason to stay somewhere, and it should not be. Huckleberry lets you export everything, we read their file, and it takes about five minutes. Here is exactly how, including the parts we deliberately do not bring over.

1. Get your file out of Huckleberry

In the Huckleberry app, tap the child icon in the menu bar, scroll down, and tap Export tracking data as CSV. They email a download link to the address on your account. Two things worth knowing: the link expires after 24 hours, and there is a separate export for each child, so grab one per profile. Their own instructions are here (checked 2026-08-31).

2. Upload it here

Open Bring your history over and choose the file. You do not have to tell us it is a Huckleberry export; we read the columns. You get a preview of exactly what we found before anything is saved, and re-uploading the same file never doubles anything up.

What comes across

• Every sleep, with how it went. Their export records whether your baby went down upset or took a long time, where they slept (own bed, worn or held, car, stroller, co sleep), and how they woke. Most of that lives in columns a simple importer ignores. We keep it on the log. In one real export that was 1,543 sleeps that would otherwise have arrived as bare times.
• Solids, as history. Huckleberry files the food itself in a column it also uses for moods on sleep rows, which is the kind of thing you only find by reading a real file. We read it per row type, so a plate of “Salmon, sweet potato” comes in as two foods on one meal.
• Feeds and diapers, where your export contains them.
• Rows they logged twice. Real exports contain duplicates. We merge them rather than importing the same night as two nights.

What your sleep history does the day it lands

The first night after the import, the sleep you already logged starts reading back: your longest stretch, wake-ups a night from nights logged evening to morning, and their own daytime wake window. When the last week really differs from the week before, the card puts both numbers side by side: the longest stretch across fully logged nights and, from four months on, naps a day when a whole nap drops away. None of that is a new thing to track. It is the sleep you were already logging in the other app, read back to you.

Those sleep reads are free here, on every plan, and they stay free. We are not going to pretend that is charity: sleep is the reason most families are already paying for an app, so it is the one place we would rather be judged on the work than on a bullet point. The same treatment across feeds, diapers and first foods is part of Plus, and you can decide about that after you have seen this bit do its job.

What we deliberately leave behind

We do not import reactions, first tastes, or another app's idea of what counts as an allergen being introduced. Those drive the allergen tracker and the watch window here, and inheriting someone else's version of them could leave you confident that egg was already handled when it was not. So the import asks instead. For each of the nine major allergens that appears only in your Huckleberry history, you choose No reaction, Had a reaction or Not sure. No reaction puts it in the rotation like anything logged here. Had a reaction stops it being suggested and notes it on your allergen tracker. One left unanswered or marked Not sure gets no rotation reminders and no food suggestions until you answer there or log it here, and the sitter page tells a sitter to ask a parent before offering it.

We also keep their reaction words as plain text rather than converting them into our own yummy, meh and yucky. We have seen one value of that vocabulary and guessing the rest of a scale from one sample is how imports quietly lie.

The honest part

Sleep is what Huckleberry is built around, and its Premium tier sells sleep plans. We do not have one. If you want a plan to follow, stay with them.

The predictions are not the gap, though. We tell you when the next nap is likely, free, worked out from your own baby's wake windows, with the number of wake windows behind the estimate printed on the card, and from 8 months on, once a few bedtimes are logged, a bedtime window from their own recent bedtimes. What we add is the rest of the day: food and allergens in the same place as feeds, sleep and diapers, with the safety tools free on every plan and your full history kept rather than trimmed. Our honest comparison lays out both.
