Breastfeeding and Pumping Tracker

While I haven't had requests for this, I think it would be a good idea if we brought in a tracker for the Breastfeeding community. This can help the mom's track ounces pumped, time spent nursing, number of feeds, etc.

I believe given the nature of breast milk, we would need either a combination for ounces and feeds or separate trackers. We cannot gauge ounces if we don't pump but we need to track how often and how long we feed.

Also, a helpful addition to that one would be a diaper tracker which is often the best way for a nursing mom to gauge her baby's intake in the beginning.

Just a suggestion, I figure we have a million other trackers, my community could use one or two!

Thank you on behalf of The Breastfeeding Community.

Thanks for the suggestion. We do plan to add a baby nutrition tracker, which would cover both breastfeeding and formula, in the near future. We'll let you know when it's available.

In the meantime, if others are interested, please leave a comment below and we'll also notify you when it's available.

Thanks,
MedHelp

See, MH. This could bring people in as well, lol. Someone goes Googling ways to track feeds or pumping sessions and VOILA! They end up here, see what a terrific Breastfeeding Support community we have, we then coach them through, eventually they want to have another baby, they journey to the pregnancy forums, maybe even Maternal Child, while they are here their great uncle Amos has a stroke so they look at that community and before you know it, they have spread out all over MH and are inviting friends.


Hmm, took that a little far I think. Please, please, please could we find a way to add an inclusive breastfeeding tracker with the capability to multitask as a pumping tracker as well as many moms do both.
