Baby Care Handover Template for Grandparents, Nursery and Babysitters

A good baby handover reduces questions later

When someone else is caring for your baby, the handover matters. It does not need to be dramatic or long. It needs to be clear enough that the next adult can care confidently.

OBubba's Bubba Care idea is simple: give trusted adults the latest care context without sending a chain of tired messages.

Baby care handover checklist

• Last feed: time, amount or breastfeeding side if useful.
• Next likely feed: anything to watch for.
• Last nappy: wet, dirty or both.
• Last sleep: nap time, wake time and rough mood.
• Medicine or temperature notes if relevant.
• Soothing methods that usually help.
• Bedtime or nap preferences.
• Allergies, weaning notes or foods to avoid.
• Emergency contacts and professional guidance already given.
• Anything unusual today.

For grandparents

Grandparents often want to help, but they may not know the current rhythm. A simple care page helps them see what has already happened without needing five separate texts.

For nursery or babysitters

Nursery and babysitter handovers work best when the essentials are easy to scan. Feeds, naps, nappies and notes should be together, not split across messages and memory.

How OBubba helps

OBubba keeps the baby day in one timeline, then helps parents share care context through Bubba Care and reports. That means parents can hand over with less explaining, and carers can understand the baby's day faster.
