Before you hand over
Check the latest entry together. Say “unknown” when a detail is missing. Confirm who is responsible for the next action. Follow your care team's feeding instructions; this sheet does not prescribe amounts or timing.
Keep completed sheets private: they may contain personal health information. Milk & Minutes does not collect the details you write on this printed sheet.
Free to print and share unchanged with families, including in a practice or childcare setting. Published September 10, 2026 · milkandminutes.com/resources/caregiver-handoff
Use it your way
Print a fresh copy when you need one. The blanks are prompts, not a requirement to track every event. If you want a digital record that caregivers can update together, explore the shared feeding tracker.
For conversations about intake, use our feeding observation checklist. Contact your baby's care team promptly about health or feeding concerns; do not delay a call to complete a record.
