Best baby book/newborn journal?

bride2012tobe · June 2014

These days my hours are spent arriving for little one, working and organizing baby stuff. Has anyone picked up a baby journal/newborn book they recommend for the first year. Thanks

I have two of the Carter's memory books.

This one is DS1's

I was anti book for a long time thinking I was just going to do a shutterfly. Someone gifted me this book -

And I love it.

Thank u so much for this thread! I have been struggling to find a book that is the quality with the contents I want. Both of these seem like great options!

I have one from Ruby Love on etsy for dd and bought one for this baby too. I love it! It has very relevant sections in it and you can add pages as your baby gets older ( we added year 2 and a sibling section to DDs). They are on the pricier side but it was by far the best one I has seen while searching. Plus, they are really cute, here's a picture:

I'm doing a First Year Calendar instead of a book. There is much more of a chance that I will maintain the calendar during the first few crazy months, plus I've never been consistent with journals.

I have a traditional type book like the Carter's one, and I also have this: https://www.amazon.com/Moms-One-Line-Day-Five-Year/dp/0811874907/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1404095626&sr=1-1&keywords=moms+one+line+a+day I LOVE it to write down daily anecdotes and memories, and I think my girls will love to look back on it someday. I received it as a gift and now I always gift one to new moms

I ordered our baby book and additional pages from The Sweet Rhino on Etsy. It seems similar to the Ruby Love books posted above. I got it very quickly and it's adorable!

I figure that chances of me actually filling out a lot of a book is pretty nonexistant, I have a horrible track record when it comes to journals, so I got a really pretty chest so that I can keep firsts and other random items all organized and safe.

We bought this one for DS1 since we were Team Green:
https://www.amazon.com/C-R-Gibson-Bound-Keepsake-Memory/dp/B001AL7GOQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404139067&sr=8-1&keywords=Cr+Gibson
I thought it was great and hit on all the major milestones and events.

For the twins, we bought these:

Ds1 has a generic baby book but it only needed filled out thru year 1. My aunt got DS2 an adorable hallmark 5 yr baby book...so now I'm gonna go and get DS1 something more similar so that way they both have 5 yr books.

I really loved the polka dot print shop ones on etsy (we had a post on this a while back), and just ordered mine over the weekend. They're totally customizable and very fast to respond, too--which is excellent for this impatient mama.

I bought a twin set from LoveLeafBooks on Etsy. They just arrived yesterday and are so cute. The makers ask you a bunch of questions to personalize it for you. They expedited it for me for $15 and had great customer service. Another nice thing is they offer options for non-traditional families, so if there are two moms or two dads or a donor or a single mom involved they can customize it for you. Anyway, the books are adorable and when I looked at them it was one of those "Holy shit, I'm going to be a mom!" moments.

I can't believe I just spent $60 on a baby book. Thanks for the suggestion, I can't wait to see how it turns out.

I ordered this on amazon . Couldn't spend $40 at hallmark. I'm cheap. lol. It's super cute I think.

You should ask funnibunni80 over on August '15- she loves to talk about her baby books!

I'm going to do project life.. Love the customization it offers.

I looked at the 5 year ones at Hallmark. I think I'll pick up one. I'm waiting for a coupon though!

kwh33ls · July 2014

I just received notification that this one shipped today. I'll let you know what I think, but I'll say that the Etsy shop was great to deal with thus far, and the book was super customizable and cute from what I could see online.
