It's a good idea to keep a record of your baby's feedings, pee and poop, and sleep during the newborn weeks (and even months)! This can help you start to recognize patterns and sense if anything's off with your little one.
Also, nurses and doctors will often ask for specific details – like how many wet diapers you changed or how often you fed your baby in a 24-hour period – to make sure your newborn is healthy and getting enough to eat. It's almost impossible to remember this stuff as a sleep-deprived new parent.
To keep all the important info in order, you can write it down in a notebook, download a baby tracker app on your phone, or use our printable worksheet.
