From the birth of your baby, carry a small notebook to each well and sick baby visit. Your health care professional will record this data in your child's chart, but you will want to keep your own records. Keep these records for your child's infancy through the teenage years.
Use a small notebook that can fit in your diaper bag, purse, briefcase, or pocket to record:
- height/length
- weight
- head circumference for babies
- vaccinations
- specific details of illnesses
- referrals to specialists
- test results
- instructions for treatment
If you are on-the-go, you can record this data in a "notepad" on your smartphone. Check out these apps:
