TL;DR
Agree on three shared events (sleep, feeds, diapers). Keep notes short. Make logging easier than texting.
The problem: too many handoffs, too little context
Handoffs are hard when the only system is texting.
A shared timeline gives everyone the same context in seconds.
What to standardize
Pick a small set of events to log: feeds, sleep, diapers.
Agree on simple labels so everyone logs the same way.
How to write notes that help
Aim for one line: “extra fussy,” “short nap,” “new bottle nipple.”
If you find yourself writing paragraphs, switch to shorter notes or optional photos.
Make it easier than texting
If logging takes longer than sending a message, it won’t stick.
That’s why BOOP! is designed for speed and one-handed use.
A handoff script that works
Try this: “Check the timeline. Last feed was at __. Next nap likely around __. Notes are there if anything changed.”
