When did you stop tracking everything for baby (e.g., nursing sessions, wet/soiled diapers, sleep duration, etc.)?

Just curious to see if anyone tracks or still tracks?

@christiangirl94 I quickly realized (day 3 maybe) that tracking was causing too much stress as another thing to do with a newborn. To each their own though

@chuy Same for me. If I forgot I would be annoyed with myself that I didn’t track something. It really just became one more thing for me to do

@toliveischrist Same here, I was too busy scrounging for precious minutes of sleep that I didn't want to waste time fussing with an app

@chuy Yes! My baby would BF so frequently but for very short periods of time, so it was driving me crazy to try and keep track of it. I wish I had just stopped tracking feeds and focused on diaper output to make sure she was eating enough.

@chuy Stopped tracking when I realized I always forget to stop the breastfeeding timer. I’d check back on the app and it’s still counting at 200+ mins

@caitriona That's how it feels sometimes, for real

 

[caitriona]

@rwg True.

@chuy I guess everyone is different because if I didn’t track there is no way i would remember when baby ate or slept last and it really helps me figure out what she wants!

@chuy Ugh yes. It was a huge project to input anything, my brain just does not go there. The only thing I kept track of were my pain meds by texting dad “took Advil” “took Tylenol” and checking the time stamps later if needed haha.

@jesusistheanswer1 Thats a good system. They really need an app to track OUR schedule in those first few months.. how much did I eat, did I pee more than once today, have I had anything to drink other than coffee?!
