When Did You Stop Recording?
« on: August 01, 2006, 15:06:59 pm »
I'm still recording my daughters feeds, sleeps, diapers, etc. in a modified EASY Log.  I don't know how to stop ..  :-[ 

Wondering how long everyone else did it for?

I still do it for #2 and with #1 I did it for quite a while.  I found that then we could keep track of all sorts of things.  IF he hadn't pooped for  a few days or what time you gave him meds (or maybe I am just a control freak ;))

I stopped recording pretty early, after 3  weeks or so. dd's a textbook baby [with some angel inside :)] and once we've set a routine for her she's quite "regular" with it. besides, it was hard for me to keep a log, I'm not so organized  :'(

 ::) am still recording , even bought a small hardback notebook with me on hols to record  ::)
Apart from it being habit by now, I always think well if something happened, like I had to go to hospital suddenly or whatever , whoever is taking care of dd can just have a look and see how her general day goes and what she eats and when. At the moment there is a lot of nappy info going in there too as we will probably soon tackle toilet training.

i stopped at 4MO, 'cause at that age DS was having a very regular EASY so, i figured, why keep recording... of course from then to now, the EASy has changed drastically but i didn't record again, although sometimes i wish i had kept at it 'cause i think its really nice to be abble to go back and look at what he was doing...

I stopped at 7 months, then started again at 10 months, as she was going through a major change, still doing it now but only twice a week.

I still do it. i love it because when something happens -- like short naps, night wakings, etc. -- I can look at my logs & usually puzzle out why. I've also really like it once we've started solids. It helps me see how much he's eating, if it's increasing, how his formula intake is, etc.

I think how long you do it depends on your personality. I bet if someone wanted to do a poll, you'd find that people who record are on one end of the spectrum Tracy talks about in her book (I think she called it "Wingers & Planners") and those who quit early are on the other end! I'm a Planner, so I enjoy recording!

I stopped around a year.  But I kep my notebook.  :)  I go back and relive those early days through it.  We were trying to figure out what I was eating that was affecting him (it was dairy and chocolate  ;D).

I still record when John gets sick.  I track what he eats, drinks, fevers, meds,when he goes to the bathroom, vomits, how he feels and sleeps.  This is priceless if we end up at the doctor or if I have to call them.  I can just hand him my notes.  Sometimes they even add copies of them to his medical chart.
