Infant daily report tips for teachers
Write it as you go
Log bottles, diapers and naps when they happen, not at the end of the day. Parents rely on exact times.
Safe sleep every time
Babies sleep on their back, in a crib with a firm, flat mattress and nothing else in it. Write down when each nap starts and ends.
Share the firsts
A first giggle or roll is huge news for a parent. Add one special moment every day.
Flag what needs action
Low diaper supply, a new rash or a skipped bottle should be easy to see at pick-up.

Teaching toddlers too? Use the toddler daily report sheet. For older children, the preschool daily sheet fits better. Many states require a written daily record for infants, so check your licensing rules.

Common questions
What is an infant daily report?
A sheet daycare teachers fill in for each baby every day, with bottle times and ounces, solid foods, diaper changes, nap times, mood and supplies needed. Parents get it at pick-up.
Do daycares have to give infant daily reports?
Many states require infant programs to keep and share a daily written record of feeding, diapering and sleep. Check your state's licensing rules.
How should naps be written on an infant report?
Write the time the baby fell asleep and woke up for every nap. Babies should always be put to sleep on their back in a crib with nothing else in it.
