S & A & Baby Makes 3... or 4 from Rockville, MD  May 14th, 2009 Just because when you're blurry eyed and trying to scan this open book to answer your partner's questions like, "What time did she get up this morning?" and, "How many poopy diapers today?" I have to report two constructive criticisms. The "view photos" image on your site of the Baby Tracker Round the Clock's pages looks as if when the book is lying open (or folded open), the "day tracker" page running 6:00am to 5:30pm is on the left, and it's accommodating "night tracker" page running 6:00pm to 5:30am is on the right, which would make sense because it's the remaining 24 hours of the same day. But in fact, because the "tracker" part of this otherwise nicely conceived log book starts with a blank page on the left and then a "day tracker" on the right, you turn the page to the whole book being laid out "night" on the left and "day" on the right. Secondly, while the authors cleverly came up with two different tracker charting symbols for wet versus poopy diapers, I would have rather loved a column for each. It would be easier to scan. Exhausted people can make mistakes with hieroglyphs, and tallying one column of 24 lines a page is easier to visually review for the all important bowl movements of newborns. And it would be nice to have a band closure for diaper bag travel. I'm tying a pen on a chord to the spiral binding to have at midnight. Perhaps I'll tie two in hopes of making one color stand more clearly for poop.
