Tool: Input/Output Tracker

Wow--thank you for this. I was going to make a boring one on microsoft word but this is great!!!!!!!

Ditto on the breastfeeding suggestion - for now I will just use the notes section, but very helpful - thanks!

Hi all - Just wanted to let you know that I have found Mother's Minder Bracelets to be indispensable ever since I had my baby. You can use them to track feedings, which breast you left off on or need to start on, and all sorts of other things. But I use mine to track when my baby last ate. It's amazing. Go to http://www.wristbands4awareness.com/mom_products to buy. I purchased one of the rubber ones for when I'm just around the house or getting my hands dirty, and I bought one of the fancy ones too for when I actually go out or get dressed up. Hope you like them & find them as helpful as I have. I'll never have a baby without buying at least two!

I found that a simple hair elastic around my wrist works to help me keep track of which side I nursed on last.

I used a bobby pin or small barette in my hair and just switched it from side to side. I found things on my wrists got in the way.

I love this. With the new baby it is so hard to keep track of appointments, engagements, and errands of mine and hers. I was so organized before the baby and have been looking high and low for a way to keep me on track. This might do the trick. Thanks!

I found an awesome timer for how long "it's been" since feeding, diapering, sleeping, etc. It will tell you how long "it's been" for up to 4 different tasks. It's easy to thrown in the diaper bag to take or leave with a babysitter. You can find it here: http://www.target.com/Itzbeen-Baby-Care-Timer-Green/dp/B0012BS2O2

this is so cute i wish i had this right after my daughter was born we used scrap paper

I started out keeping track of what side and how long I breastfed my baby for. It was more stressful than anything. It's not important how long you BF baby for and you really shouldn't watch the clock. Let the baby's cries tell you when you should feed her again. Each day should be different and during growth spurts she will feed longer than usual too.

try using babybix.com

Skip Hop makes a "Day to Night Baby Log" in a binder, in which you can track feedings, breast or bottle, and diapers. It comes with a timer/clock/light. Love it, and you can take it to pediatrician!

just one question - i'm still pregnant, so i'm not exactly sure why you need to keep track of this stuff?? is it important to know how many diapers you go through?

would love a breast feeding one!!!

Yes please make a breast Feeding one. It would be so helpful when baby comes!
