Who this list is for
New parents with questions between newborn appointments can use this checklist to keep notes, paperwork, and contact details in one place. It is an organization tool, not a substitute for medical guidance.
How to use this list
Keep the small notebook, two pens, and sticky notes together for questions that come up during the day. Use the pocket folder for newborn discharge paperwork, insurance member information, feeding log pages, diaper log pages, the growth question page, and the medication and allergy page. Put the pediatrician contact card, after-hours clinic number card, and appointment calendar at the front.
Common mistakes
Do not leave questions in phone notes, on loose paper, and in several rooms. Avoid filing the after-hours clinic number behind paperwork where it is hard to find. The medication and allergy page is for recording information and questions, not for deciding care without a clinician.
