Printable feeding clock for new moms

When you're discharged from the hospital after delivering your baby, the staff will send you home with a badly photocopied feeding chart with all the hours written out, and you're supposed to circle the corresponding hour each time you feed. This way you can keep track of how many feedings your baby gets over a 24-hour period. That's great for the really early days, maybe a week or so. But afterwards, all you really want to know is when you last fed your baby. It can be hard to remember little details like numbers when you're so busy nursing, sleeping, changing diapers, etc. while your sleep tank is running on empty.

Printable feeding clock

So I created a handy printable clock that lets you keep track of prior feedings when you don't have a pen handy, or can't write (great for Sabbath). You can hang it on your fridge with a magnet and your baby's last feeding time will be prominently displayed in either pink or blue.

INSTRUCTIONS: Download and print the feeding clock or click the thumbnail to the left. Cut out the circle of the clock, along with both handles. You can use pink or blue for a girl or boy, respectively, or you can use both to show the last two feedings. Poke a hole in the center black dot of the clock, and the dots on the hands. Affix the hand/s to the center of the clock using a paper fastener. Alternately you can use a small magnet to hold it in place on the fridge, or affix the hands to the edge of the clock with a paper clip.

To use, simply move the hand to display the correct time when you finish feeding your baby.
