# Export your child's log as a CSV file

Open More › Settings › Import & Export, tap your child, then tap Export Data and save the file. Each child can be exported once every 24 hours.

## Export a child’s log

1. Open **More** , **Settings** , **Import & Export**.
2. Under **By child**, tap the child.
3. Tap **Export Data**.
4. When the save sheet opens, choose a folder in Files and save.

In Cami 1.2: open More › (your child)'s Data, then tap Export Data.

The same screen opens from **More** , **Your Family** , **Children**: tap the child, then **Manage Data**.

The file is named after your child and the date, for example `Mateo-2026-09-25.csv`, so two children exported on the same day do not overwrite each other.

**Tip**

If you turned on **Face ID for sensitive actions** in **More** , **Settings** , **Confirm with Face ID** on this iPhone (a setting for family owners), Cami asks for Face ID before it exports.

## Export every child at once

**Export Family Data**, at the top of **Import & Export**, saves one ZIP file with a CSV file for each child. Your phone makes it from the family’s log, so it does not use any child’s export for the day, and you can make it again at any time.

## Once every 24 hours, per child

Every member of the family can export, and each child has one export every 24 hours for the whole family. The 24 hours start when the export begins, not at midnight. While the wait runs, the **Export Data** row says when it is available again.

- Two children are two separate allowances. You can export both on the same day.
- If you close the save sheet without saving, Cami keeps the file. Tap **Export Data** again to save it. That does not count as a new export.
- If the download stops halfway, that day’s export is still used.

## What is in the file

One row per entry, oldest first, with these columns:

| Column             | What it holds                                                                                      |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `type`             | The kind of entry: `sleep`, `nursing`, `bottle`, `diaper`, `pumping`, and so on                    |
| `start`            | When it started, in your iPhone’s time zone                                                        |
| `end`              | When it ended. Empty if it was still running when you exported                                     |
| `duration_seconds` | How long it lasted, in seconds                                                                     |
| `amount_ml`        | For bottles and pumping, the amount in milliliters, even if you use ounces in the app              |
| `details`          | A short summary for the kind, for example the time on each side for nursing, or the kind of diaper |
| `note`             | Your note                                                                                          |

The file holds your child’s entries **plus every pumping session in the family**, because pumping belongs to the family rather than to one child.

**Important**

With twins or siblings, do not combine two children’s files into one sheet. Each file already holds all of the family’s pumping, so combined files count every pumping session twice.

## What is not in the file

- Names, including who logged each entry.
- Your child’s profile, birth details and photos.
- Entries you deleted.

The file opens in Numbers, Excel, Google Sheets or any app that reads CSV.

## Export or iCloud Backup?

Export is a CSV file of one child’s entries that you make when you need it, for a spreadsheet or your child’s doctor. Cami’s iCloud Backup is different: once you turn it on, Cami saves a readable copy of the whole family’s log in your own iCloud Drive by itself, daily or weekly, and Cami can restore entries from it. It is in **More** , **Settings** , **iCloud Backup**. See [Back up your family’s log to iCloud Drive](https://camibaby.com/help/icloud-backup).

## Ask for your data by email

To ask for a copy of what Cami holds about you, write to <hello@camibaby.com>. The [privacy policy](https://camibaby.com/privacy#export) says what is kept and for how long.

## Troubleshooting

### Cami says this child's data was already exported in the last 24 hours

Someone in your family, or you, exported this child less than 24 hours ago. The message and the **Export Data** row say when you can export again. Another child in the family can still be exported today.

### The export stopped before it finished

Check your connection. If you tried in the last 24 hours, you may need to wait until the row says the export is available again.

### Pumping appears in both of my children's files

That is expected. Each file carries all of the family’s pumping. Read each file on its own.
