Recently, we were thrilled to find a brand new copy of Baby’s First Journal in our mailbox.

Not to judge a book by its cover, but the cover is very appealing! It doesn’t scream BABY when you’re out and about, and the colors are nice and soft and practical. Now, to the inside…the log tracks baby’s feedings, both breast and bottle, as well as diaper changes (even indicating if it’s a pee or a poo!) and sleep times. It’s very user-friendly, and we loved the organization of the pages.

Our first thought is that this log is PERFECT for new couples who have a baby and are sharing the caretaking responsibility. For example, if mom is napping (ahhh, naps!), what did dad/grandma/babysitter do with the baby? Mom can wake up and be caught up in no time. If the parents are out of the house and the nanny is home with baby, this is the ideal way for everyone to get up to speed when they return home. It’s also a fabulous way for you to report to a pediatrician (if needed) on your baby’s schedules.

We’ve seen parents try to create these spreadsheets on their own, and often times spend more time setting it up than actually using it. Waste no more of your precious time…grab this book!!
