Just wondering

Have you or when will you stop recording sleep, feeds, etc?

We still record sleep. I stopped recording feeds about 6 months ago but now I’m starting to think I should track again as he breastfeeds on demand and I have no idea how many bottles to give nursery and what times.

I’ve stopped recording recently as our childcare is more stratified with baby being with either parent, mostly me, for 6+hrs at a time. Previously we had him independently for hour here hour there with frequent switching off so having a central app recording made sense. Now I just remember and try to trust myself to respond to his needs as they come up

I'm still going but I'm honestly wondering why. I think it's just my personality type wanting to feel in control of what's going on, but I don't really need to 🤣

What do you mean recording? I haven’t logged anything since she was a couple of days old 🤣

@Laura came here to say the same thing 😂

@Victoria I don’t even have time to think of logging things 🤣

@Jas same here. Most of the time I’m back logging things and sitting there thinking why?! @Laura @Victoria More power to ya! Wish I was like that! I just feel like I’m so forgetful and panic that I’ll forget if I’ve fed him or something. Idk. I do feel like it’s a pointless task at this point. I am just finding it hard to stop. 😔

Im addicted omg my son still feeds at night and I’ll find my phone to record it😂😂😂😂😂

I'm exactly the same, I'm even logging bits from when she's at nursery that they put into the app, I'm like why am I doing this?? 🤣 Also for the same reasons I'm so forgetful otherwise but tbh I'm not sure it matters anymore lol. Probably the most use I get out from it still is just to know which boob she last fed from lol

I stopped a few weeks ago and it’s been liberating 😂 however I do still log morning and night bf’s as I forget which side she fed last but she’s now on two consistent timed naps, wakes and goes to bed at a similar time each night and has two bottles after her naps so it’s much easier then it used to be

Haven’t recorded anything since about 4.5 months. I got to the point where there was no point🤣

I gave up after about 2 weeks🤣

I have postpartum OCD; I am compelled to record everything ☹️

I stopped recording feeds / nappies ages ago now. But I still log his sleep, will carry on for a while longer probably lol I did with my older kids until after they were 1

Thank you all so much for sharing. I tried not doing it last night and today. While it does feel bloody liberating. Part of me is freaking out too. Hopefully I can hold off long enough to get over it. @Sarah🌼 bless you. That must be really stressful. If you are having treatment for it. I hope it goes well for you.
