![]() I sound so type A but it works for us so I think it may work for you. For me, systems help my family meet expectations. I am a bigger fan of having systems in place for organization and communication. #momblogger however, the baby tracker apps didn’t work well for our family. I am a big fan of apps that make life easier and I love tech. We brought our breastfeeding log to the pediatrician appointment and it was a great resource to discuss with the doctor. Your pediatrician is also going to ask about how many diapers they are making and if there are any issues with sleeping. It’s difficult to remember the important details. Then throw in lack of sleep and labor recovery. If you think you are going to remember the last time your baby fed when you are sleep deprived at 3AM – think again. I loved the baby tracker because let’s be honest, the biggest lie I continue to tell myself is “I’ll remember that” and not write it down. Newborn bliss is real and I can feel my baby fever is rising. Gosh, writing this makes me miss those days. He tracked it down to the minute, every diaper and the details of it all. He is an engineer with a brilliant mind and loves numbers so he was natural and enjoyed that role. My husband took charge of tracking it all.

How to bath your baby, take care of the umbilical cord, how to get the proper latch, change a diaper, what a blue verse yellow line on a diaper meant. Like most parents we got the newborn crash course on everything. My hospital experience prepared my husband and I so much for our precious little Bella. I thank God everyday for my birth experience and the hospital I delivered in. However I still owe a lot of what I learned about #momlife to my delivery team of nurses and lactation consultants. Once I gave birth, my mom instincts were strong and I did just know. But I still did not feel confident in myself because well… you don’t know until you’re in it. I definitely took a few baby preparation classes and read a bunch of mom blogs. I didn’t know the first thing about breastfeeding let alone newborn care. But I would be lying if I told you that I wasn’t scared and grossly uncertain about what life would be like with a newborn. Don’t get me wrong, I was excited to meet her. I often felt dazed and confused when it came to what my baby would need. I remember feeling so overwhelmed by everything baby-related during my first pregnancy. But for my own sake and memory I love to tell stories. ![]() If you just want the baby tracker and breastfeeding log – scroll to the bottom of this article. My breastfeeding log and baby tracker were my saving grace in surviving the fourth trimester (those newborn days). Baby trackers … breastfeeding logs … baby activity trackers are legit sanity savers in my opinion. ![]()
