Baby tracking success: the tiny habits that make it stick (even on hard days)

Keep it tiny: log immediately, track fewer fields, share it, and review once a day.

Finish the feed, then log it. Change the diaper, then log it.

This removes the need to remember—and that’s the whole point.

More detail feels helpful in the moment, but it often kills consistency.

Start minimal. Add detail only if it reliably helps.

Consistency beats precision. “Wet,” “Dirty,” “Bottle,” “Nap” is enough.

When everyone logs the same way, the timeline becomes readable.

Choose a calm moment (morning coffee, after bedtime) to glance at patterns.

Avoid constant checking. It’s easy to turn tracking into anxiety.

Some days are survival days. Missing a log doesn’t mean you failed.

Pick up where you left off. The system still works.
