The Nursing Mother's Breastfeeding Diary

A daily log that enables nursing mothers to easily keep track of feeding times as well as naps and diaper changes; lovely design with inspirational quotes throughout. If you're like most mothers, you'll gain a sense of security in tracking your newborn's feeding and diapers, The Nursing Mother's Companion Breastfeeding Diary will help you make sure your baby is getting enough milk, know which breast to start the next feeding on, and record any pumpings or supplemental feedings. For every day of your baby's first two months, you'll also find an inspiring quote and timely, practical advice from two long-time lactation specialists. You'll have space each day, too, for writing down thoughts on motherhood, memories, milestones, or questions and concerns to share with the baby's doctor. More than a log book, The Nursing Mother's Companion Breastfeeding Diary can become a keepsake of your first precious weeks with your baby.
