Carer handoff: share the last feed and nappy change
A practical handoff checklist for parents, partners and carers, with a printable record of what happened and what is still open.
Start with the latest completed events
Record the last feed’s time and type, the last nappy change and any useful observations. Use the actual event time. A pumping entry is separate from a bottle the baby has taken; make that distinction clear during handoff.
Say what is done and what is still open
Write who is taking over and note any unfinished task or question. Keep instructions separate from the event history, and follow the care plan agreed with the parent or clinician. The template does not create feeding or medicine instructions.
Choose one shared record
Agree where updates go, and check access before the handoff. Avoid keeping two competing versions in messages and a notebook. In Nuzzle, carers you invite can see the same feeding and nappy record; use the guide as a checklist whether you choose the app, paper or a spreadsheet.
A blank record to start with
Print this page using your browser, or download the CSV and open it in a spreadsheet. Add rows as you need them. The template is a record, not a feeding schedule or a medical assessment.
On a small screen, scroll the table sideways to see every column.
| Date and time | Latest event | Details | Carer | Open question / task |

Nuzzle keeps a record. It isn't a medical device and doesn't give medical advice. For anything about your baby's health, talk to your paediatrician.
