Use a 90-day bowel journal during school-holiday weeks

Keep recent history available for review. A household can follow a different pattern when the usual school-day timetable pauses.

What makes this useful

Details become harder to remember as the interval between a visit and a review grows.

Label the holiday period without recording a child’s school or detailed schedule. A consistent label such as “school holiday” helps connect the day you remember with the visit you saved.

A practical way to begin

  1. Open the 90-day view to see the available saved entries.
  2. Use search or custom dates to make that longer list manageable.
  3. Repeated occasions of school-holiday weeks can share a “school holiday” label. Combine that search with the dates of one occasion to avoid mixing unrelated visits from the available 90 days.

An example of useful context

“School holiday week, later morning at home.”

Have you kept the holiday dates separate from the return to the usual timetable?

Use your own wording and the details you remember. A short, recognizable note makes it easier to find the visit later.
