New Mom Survival Guide

Journal & pen (becuase it's hard to remember!)
Doctors and nurses recommend keeping track of baby’s feedings and diaper activity in the first few weeks, just to make sure he’s getting enough to eat. Keep a notebook and pen handy after feedings and, if you’re nursing, write down which breast you used (great for reminding you to alternate between your left and right breasts), how long the baby fed on each side and whether or not he had a bowel movement.
