Set up a shared caregiver handoff

Use the same handoff structure every time.

Start with the real routine

Cover the basics: last feed, last diaper, sleep, mood, medication or health notes if relevant, and anything running low. Keep it brief enough that people actually use it.

Keep the system safe and simple

A written note or shared app can help, but the format should be simple. The goal is continuity, not surveillance or over-documentation.

Make it easy to reset

End with the next likely need. For example, say what may happen first after the handoff. This helps the next caregiver start calmly.
