(Sorry PW) Baby book suggestions?

MrsH_08 · July 2011

Another question from me. We hadn't decided if we wanted to do a baby book, but recently decided to do one. I chose one and ordered it online, from Amazon, but I don't love it. The cover and info pages are fine. But it has no special pages for photos, hospital bracelet, etc. It's just another page of cardstock with a title. I guess I'm supposed to tape my items to the page. If possible, I thought it would be nice to have the regular pages for writing info, but then also pages with pockets and photo album type pages, too. Does anything like this exist?

I've searched Amazon, etsy, and done some really basic internet searches for baby books. Where did you buy yours? I'm sure there are plenty of places I'm not checking.

Thanks, again!

I got scrapbooks for my kids and then got these baby book scrapbook pages from here:

https://www.mybabyscrapbook.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=MBS&Category_Code=babybook

So I had thsoe "traditional" fill in the blank things, but also did pictures and keepsakes...

I also had a calendar that I kept track of things on so I wouldn't get behind on the baby books. Like this type of thing:

if you get a calendar, though, make sure it has 13 months. You'll want the birth month and then that same month again so you can get to a year.

I love our Tessera books! They'd expandable which means I could easily get rid of anything I don't use. Here's a review I did on them...

I would also say that if you find something that comes close, I would just add little envelopes from a craft store. I was in triage so many times with E that I ha quite a collection of bracelets, so I just added them to a page via strong tape. That way they were more visable. I also used clear photo corners and the sheet protect sleeves to complete th page, and they look great. I got the sheet protecters through Tessera, but the photo corners were at the craft store.

The baby book at Nordstrom is great, and I'm pretty sure it has all the things you're wanting.
