Your own questions
OptionalWhat a nursery registration form should ask
Babies cannot tell you what they need, so the registration form has to. Beyond the usual contacts and health details, ask about each daily routine.
- Milk type, formula brand, ounces per bottle and bottle times
- Whether solid foods have started, and foods to avoid
- Usual nap times and how the baby falls asleep
- Diapers or pull-ups, and the family's diaper cream
- Pacifier and comfort items
- Doctor, allergies and immunizations
- Emergency contacts
First weeks in the nursery
Start slowly
Short days in the first week help babies settle. Ask families to stay for a few minutes at drop-off.
Copy home routines
Follow the baby's home bottle and nap times as closely as you can, then adjust slowly.
Label everything
Bottles, breast milk, formula, pacifiers and clothes all need the baby's name and the date.
Talk every day
Send an infant daily report so parents know about every bottle, diaper and nap.
