A document, often presented as a table or chart, designed for recording the details of an infant’s feeding schedule. This record commonly includes the time of feeding, the type of feeding (breast milk, formula, or solid food), and the quantity consumed. For instance, a parent might note “7:00 AM, Breast milk, 4 oz” to document a morning feeding.
Maintaining a careful record of an infant’s feeding habits offers significant benefits. It allows caregivers to track the infant’s nutritional intake, identify potential feeding problems, and communicate important information to healthcare providers. Historically, parents relied on handwritten notes; however, readily available, pre-formatted versions offer increased convenience and organization.
The remainder of this discussion will focus on the various aspects of such documents, including their design, utility, and availability.
