Bring specific questions to the pediatrician
Ask about feeding, sleep, medication, and any medical needs that affect care between homes. Describe the proposed travel and handoffs. Ask what needs to stay consistent between homes for your baby.
Share the care information
Agree how to pass on the last feed, sleep, medication, and supplies needed for the next care period. Use the method your clinicians recommend for health tracking. Keep important contact details easy for the responsible adult to find.
Plan the handoff around real constraints
Consider the journey, the available caregiver, and where essential supplies will be. Agree how you will share a care update if the day goes differently than planned. Set a time for the adults to review arrangements as needs change.
Keep care dates and contacts together
CoFam can record care dates and children’s contact information. Share care instructions directly with the adult looking after your baby. For general support through separation, see the American Academy of Pediatrics’ family guidance.
When should a baby begin overnight visits?
Discuss your baby’s circumstances with their pediatrician and the appropriate professionals involved in your arrangements.
Can we adjust the calendar as care needs change?
Yes. Record the changes you have agreed on and review their dates and handoffs.
