Vitamin D drops
Did she get her drops this morning, or was that yesterday? The question turns up in almost every family where several adults share the job. The picture below makes the small daily habit visible to everyone.

About this visual support
A few drops on a spoon or straight into the mouth take five seconds. That is exactly why they get forgotten. There is no clear start or finish, no plate to wash, nothing that reminds you afterwards. When two parents, a grandparent or a nursery take turns, it gets even harder to know who did what, and the uncertainty often ends with the dose being skipped just to be safe.
A visual support for vitamin D drops gives the habit its own place in the day. Put the picture on the fridge or by the changing table, ideally with a small tick or a clip that moves once the drops are given. Then a single glance tells you where things stand, and nobody needs to send a text to ask. For slightly older children who take their drops themselves, the picture is also a way to feel involved, since they can move the clip on their own.
Tie the drops to something that already happens every day, such as breakfast or the nappy change after the morning feed, so the habit has something to hold on to. In Routined you can add the drops as a step in the morning routine and see who checked it off. You can try the app for 14 days, and the pictures here are free to download.
