Overnight notes should be easy to write while half awake and easy to read in the morning.

Before bed

  • Write the last temperature and medicine time.
  • Set out the log, pen, thermometer, and water.
  • Confirm who is on duty for the next check.

During the night

  • Record time and temperature for checks.
  • Record medicine only if given.
  • Add short comfort, fluids, or bathroom notes.

Morning handoff

Share the timeline, what helped, and any pediatrician questions. Do not rely on memory if another caregiver is taking over.
