DC2 is due in the next couple of weeks. I'm booked in for a home birth and when they dropped off the kit a week or so ago I obviously had a nosy through It included two red books ( - do they know something I don't?!) and a "Baby Feed Chart" which I'm supposed to fill in for a week.
On it I have to detail whether DC "fed well" , when and for how many minutes, how many dirty nappies he has and when, including colour according to a chart they helpfully provide, and how many wet nappies he has and when (this one also has a Y/N option ).
I put it on one side to ignore but when the BF lady visited me the other day she specifically gave me (another) copy and asked me to complete it. Someone suggested today that it might be part of an infant feeding survey (in which case I don't mind filling it in) but can't see anything about that on it - it seems to just go in my notes.
I simply cannot be arsed. I'm still bfing DD who is nearly 3 and am training to be a BFC with the NCT so think I probably know enough to know whether bf is going well or whether we need help, but more to the point it just seems like such an enormous faff. I can't help thinking if it was my first baby it would make me really neurotic to have to fill this in.
Wasn't given anything like this with DD. Has anyone else been given one or would like to join me in a big fat wtf?

Does anyone else have to fill in a mad "Baby Feed Chart"?
