A simpler handover in the newborn days

Useful notes without recording every second.

Newborn · 5 min read · Updated October 2026

Track what helps

A few notes on feeds and nappies can help at check-ups. You do not need to record every minute.

Share the load

Use one tracker both parents can see, so night handovers are simple.

Ask early

Talk to your child health nurse if feeds, nappies or weight worry you.
