Notebook
Baby tracking, sleep and feeding notes.
Practical guides on newborn sleep, feeding rhythms, growth percentiles and reading your baby log, written plainly and kept short. New here? Start with the week-by-week guide to the first year.
Feeding
Bottle or breast, logged the same way.
Why breast feeds and bottles end up in two different ledgers, what each one actually measures, and how to keep one feeding log whether you breastfeed, bottle feed or do both.
Both parents
The 3am handover.
Why two parents end up with two different versions of the same night, the three things that actually need to cross over at 3am, and why everything else should be written down instead.
Check-ups
Bringing your data to the check-up.
The questions a check-up always asks, the four answers worth having ready, and why a one-page summary beats handing anyone a spreadsheet.
Feeding
Reading a feeding rhythm.
Why the average gap between feeds describes no hour you actually lived through, which two numbers do move over the weeks, and the few things worth writing down.
Growth
Growth percentiles are a curve, not a grade.
What the 25th percentile actually means, why the line across visits matters more than any single dot, and how noisy those measurements really are.
Diapers
Diaper counts: what's normal in the first weeks.
Why the wet count climbs day by day, how to tell wet from damp, what the colours mean, and the few combinations worth a phone call.
Both parents
Splitting the night without a spreadsheet.
Split shifts or alternating nights, the four facts every handover needs, and why the shared note on the fridge stops getting filled in by week two.
Feeding
Cluster feeding, explained (and why it's normal).
Why your newborn wants to feed again twenty minutes after the last one, what the evening clump looks like in your log, and the few signs that are worth a call.
Sleep
Nap or sleep stretch: which one actually matters.
Naps and the longest sleep stretch tell you different things. Which number to watch in your newborn's log, and which one is safe to relax about.
Reading the log
How to read your newborn's log in the first month.
The handful of patterns worth watching in the first weeks, feeds, diapers, sleep and weight, and the ones that are safe to ignore.
