Clear your budget, both checklists and name shortlist? Download or print a copy first if you want to keep it. This clears only this browser’s saved data.
Where is my baby plan saved?
Your plan is stored only in the browser you are using. Other devices and browsers have separate plans, and clearing site data removes saved entries. Print or download a copy before changing devices. BabyNido does not receive your amounts, checked items or name shortlist, and cannot recover them for you.
Saved checklists from earlier visits still work here. Downloads contain your personal plan, so keep them somewhere private. The JSON file preserves your entries and the CSV file can be opened in a spreadsheet; neither is an automatic cloud backup. Imports are not currently supported.
A tick records your progress, not a safety check or professional approval. Use your maternity unit’s packing list, manufacturer instructions and the official sources linked from our guides when deciding what is suitable.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use my baby plan on another device?
Each browser and device has a separate plan. BabyNido does not upload or sync your entries. Print or download a copy to take with you. JSON keeps the full entries and CSV opens in a spreadsheet; importing a file back into the site is not currently supported.
Will my existing checklist ticks still appear?
Yes, saved hospital bag ticks, buying timeline steps and favourite names from the same browser are recognised. If stored data cannot be read, the page tells you and leaves it unchanged until you choose Reset.
Can BabyNido recover a deleted plan?
No. The data stays in your browser, so BabyNido cannot see or recover it. Clearing site data or using Reset removes saved entries. Keep a printed or downloaded copy if you want a backup.
