When feeding your infant it is crucial, especially in the early weeks to keep a log on the time nursed and which breast was started at. It is also helpful to keep track of sleep patterns. This can be done the old fashioned way with a small journal type booklet and a pen or you can also utilize a variety of smart phone apps that exist.
