We just did this in March. We got a letter from our attorney giving my parents the right to make medical decisions. I figured with us being out of the country if something happened I wanted them to make decisions till they could get a hold of us. We also left the insurance card.

I left the pedi's number, the address of the closest hospital. Along with the dosage for Motrin and Tylenol, where the thermometer was, etc. Then left suggestions for meals and snacks. Also included what time she normal has meals, snacks, nap, and bedtime. I included addresses of parks and other activities they could take her too. We left $ for eating out or misc things. I made sure to stock the fridge for LO and my parents (beer for them too!).

Honestly, it'll be fine if your family doesn't follow your routine precisely. Make sure there is enough food to eat, and that they know how to handle emergencies, and don't sweat the small stuff!

We've traveled a few times and I have left a typed daily schedule and meal suggestions for the 3 main meals and 2 snacks (LO doesn't eat dairy or soy). I make sure all the foods are stocked for my suggested menu, and we leave the insurance card, our Pedi's number and address, and a medical release giving our parents permission to treat LO--we also showed our parents where we keep LOs SS card and birth certificate should they need it.

We found a medical release form on the internet and printed and signed it.
