The Teeny Tiny Tracker was a baby shower gift. It was really the BEST gift. I am a first time Mum and I have used it every day for the past 8 months. There are moments when things settle into routine and I thought I might stop using it, just when this happens things change and over the months it has become invaluable. I can review when changes began by checking the number of feeds and sleeps per day and per week, and make comparisons to previous weeks or months. All the important information is simple and easy to record. The greatest gift this book has given me is the understanding of my son's patterns to feel confident as a mother.
There are a lot of baby whisperer books available that suggest to 'diary your baby’s patterns' which is exactly what this book supports. At times there can be too much information, and in this case the Tracker was invaluable. It showed me the facts, and though my son might not be running to the prescribed schedules showed he is still sleeping or drinking enough for example. The Teeny Tiny Tracker supports an individual understanding of my baby, and I can record milestones- smiles, 3months old, weight gain, clapping etc. Now I look back at the crazy days and laugh!
I can see how useful this will become when we soon need to arrange childcare, as a common document to share without having to explain all the details and it is subtle to carry around.
It has supported my learning of how to be a mum, how to juggle sleep, feeds, wind, nappy changes, activities etc with my own life! It helped me feel coordinated and confident to plan days out sooner than expected. Honestly I have really enjoyed using it!
