A baby-care checklist that someone will actually read

A relative is helping for a short stretch, and the instructions I started writing are already too long. I don't want to hand someone a manual instead of a useful note. How do you separate essential care information from the details that can be explained in person?

    Put feeding, comfort and important contact details up front; other preferences can follow.

      I may find half of my checklist is just anxiety in bullet form.

    Read the note aloud together once to see which parts are unclear.
