Nursing & Feeding Log
Keep track of feeds without trying to remember them: start time, which side, and how long. The panel shows how many feeds a completed day had beside the CDC's expected 8 to 12 feeds per 24 hours in the newborn period, and how many you have logged so far today. It reports the range as a range, because that is how the guidance is written. Everything stays on this device, and it exports or prints for an appointment.

Where these figures come from
Every number this tool shows you is published guidance, not our opinion. Read it yourself:
- CDC - Newborn basics (feeding and diaper output)
- AAP / HealthyChildren - How to tell if baby is getting enough milk
- La Leche League International
This is a record-keeping aid, not medical advice and not a diagnosis. Anything clinical belongs with your pediatrician, midwife, or an IBCLC lactation consultant.
Frequently asked
Where is this stored? Can anyone else see it?
Only on this device, in your browser. Nothing is ever uploaded and there is no account. This is health information about a baby, so it does not leave the device — export to CSV/JSON to back it up, or print it to take to an appointment.
Is this medical advice?
No. It is a record you keep and a reference to published CDC, AAP and National Academies guidance. It does not diagnose anything. Anything clinical belongs with your pediatrician, midwife, or an IBCLC lactation consultant.
How do I show this to a doctor?
Export to CSV or JSON for a file, or just print the page - the print layout drops the site furniture and prints the summary and the table as a clean record.
What if we are feeding fewer than 8 times a day?
The panel shows you the count beside the published expectation and leaves the judgement to a clinician - feeding patterns vary and one short day is not a verdict. What is worth watching closely is nappy output, which is the clearer at-home signal; the Newborn Diaper Log checks that against the CDC's daily minimum.
