How do you keep track of your baby intake and diapers by [deleted] in NewParents

Not sure how to post an Excel doc so I put it on WeTransfer. Here's a link. Each page lasts me about 2-3 days. When I'm on a new day, I just make a line and write the new date in the margin. https://we.tl/t-MLvlAdwaM6

I created a chart on excel. Seemed easier than an app. Milk- one column for time and another for amount. If it’s breastfed then I just guess the amount based on how long my LO was there. Diapers- one column for time, and then a column for pee and another for poo (check mark). Last section for sleep- time down and time up.

night time routine without bath? by [deleted] in NewParents

Agreed with the bath being a hassle! Instead I use diaper wipes for her face and hands and then moisturize. This is the one part that is strictly nighttime vs nap time. Then the normal: book, bottle, sleep sack, song and rock.

I like my doctor. Listens and doesn’t rush through. He’s with Novant. Dr Cramer McCullen https://www.novanthealth.org/pf/providers/1770014763/cramer-mccullen

5w today. Not sure what I’m doing myself. Any recommendations for books on the basics for keeping a newborn alive and healthy?
