I’m constantly amazed at the number of wearable breastfeeding reminder accessories on the market, and wondered which (if any) that your family has found useful. Some are simple “left” or “right” reminders, while others help document specific information like feeding days/times to help keep it all straight. Three popular examples include:

September 21st 2007 by Dr.MOZ in Baby Clothes, New Parents, GoodFather Fridays
Dear Dr.MOZ,
Here’s a question that I think would be a good fit for the GoodFather this Friday. My wife and I are the first couple from our group of friends to get pregnant and we’re stumped by the baby registry. The car seats and other baby gear are easy enough, but what about the clothing? […]

Dear Dr.MOZ,
I received a baby sling as a gift, but the excess material that loops through the ring seems to get in my way. I’m also not big on the rings and would love something that fit my body without buckles or the elaborate wrapping/tie system. Have you heard of anything like this? […]
