When to Stop Baby Tracking?

Question

My son is 4 1/2 months and I still use the baby tracker app. I find myself obsessing over it and it’s irritating me, but I can’t stop! 
Every time we go to the pediatrician, they always ask how much he’s eating, how often, how many wet and dirty diapers he has, and how much he sleeps. How long will they continue to monitor that? 
When did y’all stop tracking feedings, diaper changes, and naps (if you ever did)? 
Thanks in advance!

Answer

Lol I stopped within 2w. But maybe as a breastfeeding mama it's not as relevant?

Answer

I used it for at least a year

Answer

I tracked it for far too long probably. I think I stopped around 10-11 months or so. But like you I became kinda obsessed with it.

Answer

I only track if baby’s behavior is unusual or baby is sick.  Like when he had diarrhea a few weeks ago, I tracked (including temperature) but otherwise wouldn’t normally.  When they ask at well checks “how often is baby eating” I will literally respond with “a lot” 😂 some will be like “no seriously” and I say I feed on demand and I don’t keep track.  I know baby is growing and doesn’t show any signs of dehydration so I’m not going to stress over tracking . I didn’t even know that was a thing the average mom did now.  It definitely wasn’t when my big kids were babies.  I thought the nurses wanted us to do it because my son was a preemie lol

Answer

I never tracked my baby 😂

Answer

I think I stopped with my daughter around 9-10 months? 
I mainly just tracked feedings and poops from 6m+ because she was peeing so frequently I would’ve noticed if she suddenly stopped having as many pees.

Answer

We’re going to stop at 6-7 months. Honestly I don’t care. It’s something I can show the doctor and family when my mom takes care of baby. Its nice.

Answer

Four and a half months

Answer

My daughter is 6 months & I still use it religiously. I can’t imagine not doing it

Answer

We're just now getting a bit laid back with it at 7 months. I think mostly some of the brain fog has lifted, so we don't track it religiously. But, we do track here and there. We may use it to track his growth and new foods now
