In this day and age when we have a question we don't know the answer to, we Google it. Some of what you'll find is helpful but the rest can be scary. That's why I use Baby Center's app and online community solely; that way I don't read anything that would be counter productive. That combined with my baby log app, Bubtrac, keeps me from thinking the worst of completely normal things.
Breastfeeding is a complete mystery because you can't physically see how much is being made/eaten, so to avoid stressing out about it (thus messing with my milk supply) I can keep track of how often he eats and how often it leaves to reassure myself he's getting enough to eat.
Plus doctors will ask how often the baby is peeing, feeding and pooping so when you can give exact numbers instead of shooting in the dark, it helps you look like a competent and organized parent. Which is awesome, because I don't always feel that way.
