Newborn Clipboard

In my entry Newborn Survival Tips, I mentioned creating a chart to keep track of feedings and diaper changes in those first hectic weeks. Here’s a picture of the one we used for our daughters, conveniently hung by ribbon from a peg rack next to the changing table. I always had a vision of covering the bland office-supply clipboard in vintage floral wallpaper or painting it white. Alas, such niceties get lost when you are sleeping in 90-minute increments.
