Breastfeeding can be a very difficult and complicating. You don't know if you are feeding your baby enough, your baby falls asleep when it needs to eat more and of course, you too may fall asleep as you nurse in the wee hours of the night and lose track.

One of the recommendations to ensure you are feeding your baby enough is to track the time you feed as well as bowel and bladder movements. The baby should feed anywhere from 20-30 minutes each session and should have 3-4 bowel movements and 6-8 wet diapers in a 24 hours period.

Seems simple to track? Well, with little to no sleep, it is hard to figure out what time of day it is let alone how long your baby has been nursing.

In the age on apps, you can throw out little pieces of paper or your notebook and even tracking online. Use your iPhone or Touch!

I am using the Baby Tracker:Nursing app. It allows me to keep track of the time, breast and/or bottle feeding. It automatically calculates the total time of the feeding, lets me pause when the baby is taking a break or needs waking and allows me to edit any of the sessions as well.

It lets me do the basics of breastfeeding but with 5 weeks into motherhood - there are a couple of upgrades I would do:

1. Include a place where you can add that you fed your baby medication (if there are any)

2. Include bowel and bladder movements as this is one way to make sure your baby is doing well.

3. Add an alarm function that lets you know when your baby was fed 2, 3, 4 etc hours ago. This is key if your baby needs to put on the pounds and won't wake up.
