As promised (though a few days later than expected--par for the course right now):

We'd be dead without this, but it's so much part of our day that I didn't think to include it in Tips for Fathers of Twins.

Chart at 3 weeks

Chart at 4-1/2 months

Left to right is midnight to midnight. The key is in the upper right. Blank spaces are where so much happened that we couldn't write anything down, and later, we couldn't remember anything. (The entire thing should be considered plus or minus 45 minutes for any individual marking, since a lot gets filled in with guesswork later.) Sleep is also overrepresented on the 3-week chart, as we ended up just drawing solid lines between feedings when we couldn't remember what happened.

On the 4-1/2-month chart, numbers represent ounces eaten. (I tend to record that. Kathleen prefers just to use an "F" for "Feeding.")

I replaced babies' initials in the scan with little faces. We don't actually have custom-printed ledger paper.
