I never did. I make a mental note what time I changed his diaper and fed him last so I know when it do it next but besides that I never really log or track it
I stopped manually tracking around 7 or 8 months. I still mentally track poops, milk/solids, and naps. But I dont track oz amounts intentaly because all the bottles (exclusive pumper) are the same amount and we have no less than 3 bottles a day. Sometimes we have 4.
I’m sorry if this is obvious but why do you track? My son is 7 months and I’ve never tracked anything. He usually poops every other day .
@Yasmin I meticulously tracked for 7 or 8 months because I had anxiety about her getting enough milk/having enough wet/dirty diapers and gaining enough weight. Many people don't track anything, and as long as baby is happy and healthy, I wouldn't say it's a requirement at all :)
You are about to have a newborn and toddler combo and things are about to get real. Please stop doing this and figure out where your energy could be better spent. I feel like after the baby is born this won't even be a question, but I give you permission to stop early if you want, haha 🤣 Congratulations and good luck! 🍀🍀
Thanks Emily, yeah I also have anxiety but if I start recording everything I would just go mad. I just assumed if he’s got wet nappies which he did and he’s pooped and he’s happy then all is well. My mum had 5 kids under 10 poor woman. She said she never tracked
My first I did feeds the first month. Stopped diaper tracking after the first week or two. My second is 2 weeks old and I stopped a day after getting home. He was eating all the time and had plenty of wet and dirty diapers so it's all good. It's very relaxing being a little more laid back this time around
I never have. 🤷🏼♀️ he’s 9 months.
I never tracked 😅
I still track at 9 months! Not like to the exact time or anything but I still Like to track when she’s ate, number of wet/poop diapers and I track when I pump
If not tracking gives you anxiety then continue tracking, but if the task of tracking is giving you anxiety then stop. We used the Huckleberry App so hubby could track too and I could see what was going on too. We did combo feeding so I needed to see when he last fed the baby. I stopped tracking when I started to forget to log it, which meant I wasn’t too concerned this was probably around 8 months. Perhaps using an app will help you track both kids and reduce the need to check in with each other about diapers and use that to check in with each other about emotions. Good luck!
I stopped around 7 or 8 months. I just didn’t feel like it anymore 😭💀
9 months when i stopped breast feeding cause i was pregnant
After the 1st month appointment, I stopped, lol. I've seen it all to know if something is off.

I never did
Oh like after 3 months I was not doing any of that. I find tracking things really tedious and if the baby is healthy, why do it? Unless you like doing it or have other reasons. So yeah, go by that I guess.
What @Bonny said. You're done with it now, momma. Just pay attention to the 💩 for the toddler. Then you probably won't do it very long for baby no 2. I did it for probably 3-6months with my first babe and then with my second I tracked for like 3-6 weeks 😅😂 you don't have the time and energy to write it all down when you have so much to do and so little time to do it all.
My pediatrician said they no longer needed us to keep a log after his 6 month visit. As long as everything has been checking out normally & youre able to guesstimate her schedule of bowel movements you don’t really NEED to track it anymore if you don’t wanna. We still log poops that make us have questions
Diapers about 5 days lol for feeding I went a little over a year just to keep track of what side I nursed on first
If you want to keep tracking for both, the huckleberry app does have the option to have more than one child profile for tracking. My baby is only 6 months so I can't say for how long since we are still tracking sleep, diapers, and feeds. If we are out and about I don't always do it. But tracking has helped my anxiety since baby wasn't feeding well enough the first few weeks. And with the heat we are having I want to make sure he is feeding well and having enough wet diapers.
@Summer I started with huckleberry but then I found Nara baby & personally prefer the layout on there more!
My baby is 6.5mo and I still track. It helps me to know when she needs a diaper change, a feed and a nap. When she is not feeding and napping so often, then I will stop tracking.
I’ve never tracked. I breastfeed so that’s just whenever she seems hungry/ cranky. And I change her bum whenever she’s done a wee. I kinda keep a mental note of when she’s done a poo, like sometimes I’ll be like ‘she should be due one as haven’t had for a day’ or something. But never actually noted down
Our son is 5 weeks old, we basically stopped tracking after the first week, after that we just made sure he had the minimum in the day and called it good. He usually reached the minimum by early-late morning anyway so we didn’t keep track the rest of the day. After a few days of that being consistent we just play by ear and not overthink it.
I tried for the first few weeks but constantly kept forgetting to track everything each time.. especially when baby boy was cluster feeding (EBF) as it was non stop!
I stopped after like a week
Never tracked
After a month , realize it was a waste of time and just gave ne anxiety
About a month old… I breastfeed on demand til he spits it out or falls asleep and he was making like 15 wet diapers a day so I didn’t think it was necessary. I only did it in the beginning though because I was having trouble breastfeeding and dirty diapers are the only way you can really tell they’re getting enough milk if you don’t use bottles

@Daniella exactly
I never tracked either or was told to track either
Well before 12 months. By like 8 months we were in a semi decent routine so it wasn't really needed. I might ask if he had changed a poopy diaper if I hadn't seen one all day though. Sleep was the last thing I kept track of as it was to pinpoint our one nap a day time
