The NICU Logbook

About

After rounds, the numbers leave with you. Weight. A wean. “Good kangaroo.” The whiteboard gets wiped. NICU Logbook is that notebook on your phone: what the nurse said, a photo of the board, both ages. How old is she today, both ways: actual and adjusted. Log the weight they called out. Check off kangaroo, first feed, the next thing. Take a one-page note to the next visit. Stays on this phone. No account. $2.99 once. Not a medical device. This is for the recliner next to the isolette, not for a clinic system. Birth date and original due date as written. Notes you can type or dictate. Up to four photos on a note so the board is not only in the camera roll. A checklist in the order things usually happen here: first hold, weans, first feeds, eye exam, vaccines, follow-up, and a way to mark what does not apply at this NICU. Growth plots are preterm curves, not the term-baby chart in the parenting apps. Your hospital may use a different standard. Confirm every number against their chart before a clinical decision. HOW IT WORKS Add a child. Accept that this is a log, not a diagnosis. Write after rounds. Siblings each get their own dates. Nothing is uploaded. A backup leaves only if you save one. WHAT STAYS HERE Dates, measurements, notes, photos, and checklist marks. Dictate transcribes on this device. Dark by default for the unit at night. Light is one tap.
