Baby Days Newborn Log

What a newborn log can help with

The first days after birth can blur together. A simple log can help families remember feeds, nappies, sleep, care questions and small memories without turning normal newborn variation into a scorecard.

Dream2Birth Baby Days is designed as a first-days toolkit and care view for calm feeds, sleep, nappies, memories and handoffs.

Useful things to record

• Feed times and basic notes that help with handoffs.
• Wet and dirty nappies when families are asked to keep an eye on them.
• Sleep windows and settling notes.
• Care questions for a midwife, GP, child health nurse or maternity unit.
• Private memories that should not be included in shared summaries.

Safety note

A log is not clinical monitoring. If feeding, nappies, temperature, breathing, colour, alertness, bleeding or parent recovery feels worrying, contact a qualified care provider or emergency services.
