Baby Tracker FAQ
What you've been asking
Q: When is the best time to start using the Baby Tracker schedule tracking journal?
Day 1.
Many moms start using the Baby Tracker journals on Day 1 to capture need-to-know nursing/feeding information in those first sleep-deprived moments. Recording baby's sleep patterns, diaper changes and feedings make hand-offs to a partner or caregiver, or preparing for doctor visits easier by having the baby's daily routine at one's fingertips.
The newborn Round the Clock—Baby Tracker (orange book) which accommodates 24-hour tracking is the best for this period when parents and babies find themselves living life around the clock.
The original Baby Tracker products are optimized for the working parent looking for an easier, less stress-filled way to exchange information about their babies with their daily caregivers and doctors. Be they your partner, grandma, neighbor, other parent, or licensed child care provider.
Q: What type of child care situation is most suitable for Baby Tracker use?
The Baby Tracker has been used in a wide variety of childcare situations—at-home care, family daycare, and small licensed childcare centers. Each of these childcare providers has responded well to Baby Tracker's simplified charting system and the ability to easily create a visual picture of the baby's day. Previously many childcare providers were asked to chronicle in writing all of the activities during the day. This took time away from the care of the child and put added stress on the information exchange during drop off and pick up.

Q: Is the Baby Tracker pre-printed with dates or can I start using it at any time?
