It is important for co-parents to communicate often with each other about their child’s well-being and schedule. However, how often a co-parent should call their child depends on the child’s age.
For infants and toddlers, it is best if the co-parents talk to each other daily so that they can keep each other updated on feedings, sleep patterns, diaper changes, etc. If one parent is working or lives far away, they can set up a video call so they can still see their child’s face. For older kids, talking every few days or weekly may be sufficient. The most important thing is that communication is consistent and open between the co-parents so that everyone is on the same page regarding decisions about the child’s care.
