A checklist for moving your Nara history by CSV

This is the hands-on checklist. For what the importer supports and how your file is handled, see the Nara import page; here we focus on doing it cleanly, in order, and fixing what goes wrong.

Before you start

Do these three things first and the rest is easy.

  • Export from Nara and keep the original CSV untouched as your backup.
  • Work on a copy of the file if you want to inspect it in a spreadsheet.
  • Decide which Nurtali child each Nara child should go to, or whether to create a new one.

Step by step

Nara’s menus change between versions, so use Nara’s own help for the export step.

  • Export your history from Nara as a CSV file.
  • Sign in to Nurtali and open Account, then “Import data from a CSV file”.
  • Choose the file. Nurtali reads it on your device and shows a preview.
  • Match every Nara profile to an existing child or create a new child.
  • If some records are not tied to a child (pumping, for example), choose which profile they belong to.
  • Check the counts, confirm, and keep the app open until it finishes.

If something goes wrong

  • “Please choose a CSV smaller than 20 MB”: split the CSV into two files (keep the header row in both) and import them in two passes.
  • Too many rows (over 25,000): split the CSV into smaller files, keeping the header row in each.
  • Rows skipped: Nurtali lists the CSV line numbers. Correct those lines in the copy and import again; already-imported records are skipped.
  • Import interrupted: choose the same file again or use “Retry missing records”.
  • Medical items missing on Android: the Google Play version is non-medical and skips them.

After the import

  • Open History and spot-check a few days against Nara.
  • Check each child’s profile and birth date.
  • Invite your partner or caregiver so they see the same timeline.
  • Keep the original CSV until you are satisfied.

This guide is about keeping records. It is not medical advice. For any concern about your baby, speak to a qualified healthcare professional.
