Every mother who has ever nursed (or attempted to nurse) knows the importance of tracking diapers. It’s as if babies have a daily “quota” to reach of wet and dirty dipes so that you know that they’re getting all the goodness they need. In the middle of the night fog, this tracking becomes especially hard. When other caregivers (like husbands) get into the mix – the diaper tracking gap is almost unavoidable.
As a mother of twins, record keeping becomes even harder to keep track of two babies, and their different “outputs.” This is where my mother‘s genius idea came in handy! So simple, but the perfect solution. CLOTHES PINS!
Behind out changing table, we have a lamp that has the cord hung externally, but any rope or ribbon hung from the wall would do. We labeled each clip with B1 B2 or J1 J2. B1 stood for Brayden #1 (wet) and J2 stood for Julianna #2 (dirty).

Good idea! I have 9 month old twins and I wish I would have though of that!
