We've managed to track the feeding schedule of our newborn since birth. Looking back at their feeding schedule was a nice reminder of the chaos of the first few months. The emergence of a schedule and circadian rhythm in the past month, which we could already feel, is really cool to see.
The light blue bars indicate the start (top) of each feeding session to the end (bottom). Light red bars are bottle feeding sessions for which there is no logged duration but we assume 15 minutes on average. The darker background indicates our current desired minimum sleep times. Nights without feedings in those hours are good nights.
I posted this yesterday and it got quite a response, then was flagged for moderator review. Apparently personal data posts are restricted to Mondays, so let's try again…

Data were collected using the Nara app. The plot was made by exporting all Nara data to a .csv, asking Gemini 2.5 to make and refine the plot with pandas and matplotlib python packages, and then slightly tweaking the code by hand. The final colab notebook is available [here](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1opiAIYWtSg8AwLkFcSXTEfMqBShZJvj0?usp=sharing).
My god…
Also congratulations!
Damn… This really puts into perspective for those of us that don’t have kids.
gosh that looks like someone didnt sleep for half a year good job 😀 !
Legend should be on the chart
I didn’t need to see this right before the birth of our second. It was hard enough without a toddler.
This has been enough to convince me to never have kids. Thank you OP.
Conclusion: babies don’t care about schedules.
Congrats! Hope you’re enjoying the little one
It’s interesting how you can see the baby start to get into a sort of schedule after about 4 or so months
Mm good memories. One day I breastfed for a total of 6 hours
Congrats on your baby, but graphs like this also firmly cement my decision to be child-free by choice!
Parents are warriors, I could never do it. I had a lovely weekend visiting friends with two young kids; I tried to help out as much as I could with clearing the table, washing up, playing with the older kid, cleaning up the floor after baby threw food everywhere – but even STILL, with me helping out a bit, the parents didn’t sit down for more than 5 minutes at a time! They were ON constantly until the kids got to bed.
Absolute heroes, it’s incredible to me, kudos to parents everywhere!
