Infant Tracking Charts

Parenting multiples comes with its own special set of challenges -- but let's call them opportunities. For many parents, it's an "opportunity" to really take the time to document the goings-on of each baby. Some would say it's for sentimental reasons, but most would say that they need to do it or else they'd never remember who ate when, slept for how long, was last changed or had a dirty diaper. And doctors always want to know these things. As parents, we need to know because they can indicate how well a baby is doing.

To help in this project, parents of multiples have devised all sorts of charts to keep track of the essentials. Below are some sample tracking charts, in Microsoft Word format for easy downloading and modification. The first four were kindly contributed by a fellow multiple mom from TPOMBA.She offers several variations on similar themes. The fifth one is quite different.

Maybe one will work for you, or form the basis of your own tracking charts. Happy charting!
