Example
Example: a two-week-old’s day on one landscape sheet, ready for the check-up
A two-week-old who nurses and gets the odd bottle of formula, with a pediatrician visit on Friday. The page is kept as it opens: heading Baby feeding log, a Date line at the top, eight columns, 16 rows, a notes box for the midwife or doctor, landscape, US Letter. One sheet a day lies by the changing table with a pen.
- The table is about 9.8 in wide: Notes gets about 2.5 in, Time, Left, Right, Bottle and Sleep about 1.2 in each, and the tick boxes Wet and Dirty about 0.6 in.
- With 16 rows and the notes box underneath, each row is about 8 mm (0.32 in) tall, room for “7:30 AM” or “2 oz”.
- Minutes at the breast go under Left or Right; formula or pumped milk under Bottle, in ml or oz, whichever your bottles show.
- Up to 27 rows still fit on the one sheet, each about 4.8 mm tall; from 28 rows the table runs on to a second page.

baby-feeding-log.pdf, one landscape sheet for each day. At the check-up the gaps between feeds and the number of wet and dirty diapers are there at a glance; what they mean is a question for your pediatrician.
How it works
- Print a page for each day and keep it with a pen by the changing table.
- Write the time and length of each feed or the bottle amount, and tick wet and dirty diapers.
- Take the pages to check-ups; change the columns if you need others.
Frequently asked questions
- Why log feeds?
- In the first weeks, midwives and doctors ask how often the baby feeds and how many wet and dirty diapers there are; a log answers in seconds.
- How many feeds fit on a page?
- Sixteen rows as the page opens, enough for a day and night of feeds for most newborns. Up to 27 rows still fit on one sheet, a little closer together; from 28 the table runs on to a second page.
- Can several people use it?
- Yes — keep it in one place so every carer writes on the same sheet.
- Is it medical advice?
- No — it is a log to fill in; ask your midwife or doctor about what it shows.
- Can I write ounces instead of milliliters?
- Yes. The Bottle column is headed ml/oz, so write whichever your bottles are marked in. To change the heading, edit that line in the columns box, for example to “Bottle (oz)|2”; the |2 keeps it twice as wide as a tick-box column.
- Is anything uploaded?
- No. The pages are made in your browser.
