Part 1: How to use the Who-Does-What Chart
Welcome. This is a simple, printable way to decide, before the baby arrives, who covers what in the first 12 weeks at home. It turns a fog of "we'll figure it out" into a page you can pin to the fridge.
What this does and does not do
It does:
- Give you a two-page chart with 12 weekly rows and four task columns: meals, home, baby logistics, and errands.
- Walk you through filling it in together in about 45 minutes.
- Show a finished example so you can see how much detail is enough.
- Give you a swap list for the weeks when the plan falls apart, which it will, at least once.
It does not:
- Give medical, recovery, feeding or mental health advice. For anything about your body, your baby's health, feeding or sleep safety, follow your own clinician's guidance.
- Tell you how a family should be run. It is a planning sheet. You decide the split.
- Promise that a plan makes the weeks easy. It makes them clearer.

Who it's for
Expecting parents, single parents and families who want tasks, nights and helpers written down before the baby arrives. An expert review by a women's health clinician is planned; until then it is general information, not professional advice.
