Sarah and James Thompson welcomed their daughter Ava in January 2026. Both work demanding jobs — Sarah in finance, James in healthcare — and from the start, they were committed to truly equal co-parenting. The problem? Communication.
'We were leaving sticky notes on the fridge,' laughs Sarah. 'Last fed 6am, right side, 12 minutes. It was chaos. We were exhausted and constantly asking each other what happened while we slept.' The handover between night and day shifts was the hardest part — a blurry, half-asleep transfer of information that left both of them anxious.
Finding Lettora
James found Lettora during a 3am feed when Ava was three weeks old. 'I downloaded it just to log the feed I was doing. By morning I realised Sarah could see everything I'd logged overnight in real time.' Within a week, the sticky notes were gone.
"The moment that sold me was when Sarah woke up at 6am and instead of asking me ten questions, she just picked up her phone, saw everything that had happened overnight, and said 'great, I've got it.' That was the first morning I actually felt okay handing over." — James
What Changed
Three months in, Lettora has changed how the couple communicates about Ava's care. 'We review the weekly summary together on Sunday evenings — sleep totals, feeding volume, nappy count — and use it to plan the week,' says Sarah. 'It's become like a team meeting for parenting. We feel so much more aligned.'
Ava's grandparents also have access, which means when Nana does a day of care, everything is logged and visible to the parents in real time. 'There's no wondering what she ate or how long she slept. It's just there,' says James.
Co-parenting isn't about splitting everything 50/50 perfectly — it's about being a team. For the Thompsons, that teamwork became a lot easier when they had a shared source of truth. If you and your partner are finding the information handover stressful, you're not alone — and a shared tracker might be the simplest fix you haven't tried yet.
