Must Have! |
This book is so simple, but we would have been lost without it when we had our baby. Both my husband and I lost all short term memory when we brought our newborn home. Seriously! I would ask him the time when I started feeding her and within minutes I could not remember what he had told me. Writing it down in this book was the only way we would remember. For you first-time expecting parents, you would be amazed at what happens to your brain in the first few weeks with a newborn. It turns to mush!
There is a gadget out there that digitally records your feedings, baby's poops and so on, but this nice thing about this book is you can look back and see what you recorded even weeks later. You can't do that with the digital gadget (at least the one that I have seen). |

Daily Reassurance: A Real Life-saver |
This journal was/is a real treasure to me. With the recent birth of my first child, I slipped into post-partum depression and became convinced I was a failure as a mother. Reassurance from our pediatrician was helpful, but it was the *daily* reassurance I got from the journal that helped alleviate the notions that my boy wasn't eating enough or sleeping enough. I clung to the book (it's so portable) and diligently recorded my notes. It helped me feel organized and somewhat in control during a very stressful time.
I'm already on my third journal and have another ready when my current one is used. I plan to keep using them until my little one is out of diapers and well established on solids. (My husband teases me that our son will be in high school before I stop!)
I highly recommend this book. Yes, of course, you can try to jot down the same info on bits of paper, but why bother when you can just as easily keep all the important info in one place and easily organized? |

Not really worth the money |
|
It is a nice idea, and for a nervous new parent I was initially glad to have it. But we used it for a few days, and if we were smart we would have just used a pad of paper instead of this book. Not much to it, and that is the point, but seriously - how many of you really need this? |

Pricey, but awesome! |

Ok... I know that you are wondering if you really need this. If you are a laid-back sort of parent, then no. If you are like me, and obsess over doing everything just right, then YES! My mom thinks I am a little crazy for writing everything down in here, but I LOVE IT! It makes me feel so much more in control, plus it really helps with the "mommy-nesia" that it's so easy to get. This way, when the baby is fussing and you can't figure out why, because, "He JUST ate!", you can look and see, "Oh... actually that was 2 hours ago." My baby had jaundice in the hospital because he wasn't getting enough to eat, so I am a little paranoid about logging it all. I don't really use the sleep portion at all, since my baby is awake and asleep every few minutes, but I can keep track of wet and dirty diapers (which is a fun way to determine whos turn it is to change him!) I love that every facing page is for "notes". I thought it was silly at first, but I use it to log pumping sessions, food I eat that seemed to make him fussy, and things to remember to ask the doctor about that may occur to me at 3 am. It's nice too, that if I have to leave him with grandma or grandpa I know how much and when he ate. I love that it is spiral bound, and lays flat, and is a good size (it tucks into a diaper bag easily). I wish it was cheaper and had more pages. I used ours up by four weeks. My husband suggested it would be cheaper to make our own speadsheet on a computer and keep them in a binder, but the size and convenience of this led me to order another one. I will continue to use this product at least until I've been back at work for a while and mellow out some. :) |
