Baby sleep routine and observation planner
Plan a flexible routine, review safe-sleep reminders and record sleep and feeding observations. This organizer gives no sleep score, diagnosis or safety clearance.
Use these notes with your child’s clinician. This tool does not diagnose illness, prescribe treatment or confirm that home care is safe.
Get emergency help now
Call your local emergency number if the baby is not breathing normally, has blue or grey lips or tongue, is limp, or is very difficult to wake. Do not delay help to fill in this page or check a monitor.
Ask the clinician about these concerns
Seek medical advice promptly for much less feeding, fewer wet diapers, unusual sleepiness or poor weight gain. Discuss ongoing sleep concerns with the clinician. If you are unsure about breathing or wakefulness, seek advice now; use emergency help for a suspected emergency sign.
Your entries stay in this open page and disappear when it is reloaded or closed. Print a copy if needed. Avoid names and identifying details.
Care reminders
- Night feeds depend on age, growth and feeding needs. Ask the clinician whether your baby needs waking to feed, especially after premature birth or with poor weight gain. Do not drop feeds to meet a sleep target.
- Stop swaddling at the first signs of trying to roll, even if this happens early. A swaddled baby must sleep on the back; swaddling does not prevent SIDS.
- Always start sleep on the back. Once a baby can roll both from back to tummy and from tummy to back independently, you can leave them in the position they reach; keep the sleep space empty.
- Do not give melatonin or other medicines to make a baby sleep unless the baby's clinician specifically advises it. This planner provides no sleep-medicine doses.
