Abstract

A baby schedule tracking and storage device is disclosed. The device is self contained device having a display and a plurality of selectable buttons that each signifying a particular event. When the event occurs, the corresponding is depressed and the event along with the time and date is stored. The data can then be downloaded to a computing device to compile the events and provide numerical and or graphical information regarding the various events. The device further includes additional functionality that allows entry of finite information such as quantity, breast being used, volume and or diet consumed and expelled. Modification of the entered data allows for a user to identify the attitude of the baby when they awake as well as the type diaper discharge. The buttons or housing is made from a material that glows in the dark making locating the device and the associated buttons easier.
