What's on the page

How to use it

  1. Start a fresh sheet each day and write the start time of every feed.
  2. For breastfeeding, note the minutes on each side, so you can see at a glance which side to offer first next time.
  3. For bottles, write the amount in oz or ml and whether it was breast milk or formula.
  4. Tick wet or dirty at each change, then add up the totals in the evening.
  5. Bring the sheets to check-ups; they answer most of the questions you will be asked.

Who it's for

New parents in the first weeks, parents sharing night feeds who need to know when the last feed was, and nannies, grandparents or childminders handing over to parents.
