Record the feed that happened, the time, and the adult who recorded it. This worksheet helps the next caregiver find the latest update without searching through messages.

Agree on what you are recording

Before using the sheet, agree which details your care team wants to record. Leave space for the time, the type of feed, and any amount you actually measured. Include the units whenever you record a measurement. Keep observations separate from instructions so the next adult can distinguish what happened from what has been planned for later.

Keep one current record

Put the dated sheet where the adults providing care can find it. If a parent makes an entry and a nanny takes over afterward, check the latest line together. Do not copy an expected feed from a schedule into the completed log. When a detail is unknown, record that uncertainty rather than filling in a time or amount from memory.

Use the log during the handoff

At the change of caregiver, point out the latest entry and any question that still needs an answer. The person taking over should know who recorded the information and where to ask for clarification. This sheet does not prescribe feeding amounts, intervals, or a feeding plan. Follow the child’s existing care instructions and discuss questions about feeding with the appropriate professional.
