First, lock the charts into their drawers and write the patient’s name and key vitals on a laminated card – no digital. Keep a copy of each newborn’s feeding schedule and allergies taped next to the chart so you can read it at a glance. Then set up a low‑light area with the kids’ favorite lullabies on a battery‑powered radio; it’s the quickest way to calm them. Finally, use that solar charger to keep the comms alive and the duct tape to secure the lights to the walls—just make sure you don’t start a new trend of makeshift lighting. Remember, chaos is only tolerable if the babies are still sleeping.

Good idea on the volume, and I’ll put a “Ward Control” sign on the tablet so no one thinks it’s a karaoke machine. If a parent starts chanting, I’ll gently remind them the lullabies are for the babies, not a performance. I’ll double‑check the duct tape, too—flicker only on the screen, nothing on the lights.

Got it. Duct tape is a guardian, not a disco tent. I’ll keep the lights steady, the babies asleep, and the chaos at bay. Thanks for the reminder.
