To weave two recent threads: Wouldn't a bracelets with beads for new 
moms to count breastfeeds/24 hrs. be a good teaching tool and a great 
item for hospital discharge packs? (and subtract the breast-milk 
substitute from the pack of course) Then she can also switch the 
bracelet from wrist to wrist as a reminder of which side to start 
feeding on, as someone suggested. Oh, it sounds like a good baby shower 
gift too.
