The Nursing Bracelet™ is more than a pretty piece of jewelry, it''s also a reminder bracelet that tracks your breastfeeding schedule. It can remind you which breast you fed from last and the time that your baby last fed, using number beads and colored beads arranged to represent a 12-hour clock. The number beads represent hours and each colored bead indicates a 15-minute interval. A charm is moved to mark the time (see the diagram below).

Never forget your baby''s schedule again, whether you''re breastfeeding-on-demand or simply making sure a sleepy baby nurses frequently enough.

 
  
 1. Switch the bracelet from wrist to wrist to keep track of which breast you fed from last.

2. Move the charm to mark the time your baby''s last feed began (see the diagram above). This is helpful if you have a sleepy baby who doesn''t wake for feeds, if you would like to establish a breastfeeding schedule, or if you''re feeding-on-demand and would like to keep track of your baby''s breastfeeding patterns.

3. An alternative use for the bracelet is to count the total number of feeds in a day (newborns should feed eight to twelve times per day). Place the charm after the relevant number bead.
