So this is an example of capturing feeds with the help of a breastfeeding out. In this particular app, you have icons to record breastfeeding, pumping, sleeps, and a few more things such as nappy changing. You can also see the date here and the baby's supposed age, which is a day to the number of years. Although this particular app registers each breast as a separate view, whereas often you would, you would want baby to take both breasts per feet and most babies would perhaps have the main mute on the first breast and then Little bit of dessert on the second breast. And sometimes it's perfectly fine if baby only has one breast but for the majority of the time, the main meal, the majority of the time from the first breast and then the second breast and then you start with the side that you've lost finished with.
But this app registers each breath as a separate feed. Whereas Normally, you would if you offered both breasts per feed, and then you would consider this as one feat, not two separate feeds.

So you can see here the babies spend, let's say nine minutes on the right breast. And at this time, the baby spends 27 minutes on the right breast. That is all normal. So frequent feeds at different times and have varied length is normal. As adults, we don't record our music In general either. If we did, we would also see different meal times, different lengths and portions of meals, sometimes eating a roast dinner.
At other times, only a quick snack or a cup of tea. In the next slide, you can see the hypothetical feets recorded for a day six. Again, nighttime feeding wasn't recorded. But you can see that feeding times and lengths of feeds are not the same as on day two, showing you the lack of routine in the first few weeks and the need for being responsive to your baby and your breasts rather than the clock.
