You can start a baby book as soon as your child is born or even during pregnancy to document your journey from pregnancy to the baby’s arrival. Ideally, you’ll want to begin capturing memories and milestones from the early days of your child’s life. However, it’s never too late to begin a baby book, and you can always go back and fill in information or add memories retroactively. Here are some general suggestions:
- Pregnancy: Include details about your feelings, preparations (nursery, doctor appointments, etc.), and any significant events leading up to the birth like baby showers or babymoons.
- Birth: Capture details such as the birth date, time, weight, and your delivery birth story.
- First Events: Document the first experiences in your child’s life including their first bath, the first time they smile, and other early experiences.
- Milestones: Recording developmental milestones such first word, first steps, first tooth and other notable moments.
Special Occasions: Include details about holidays, birthdays, and other special occasions your baby experiences.
BabyPage makes it easy to keep track of all of the memories and moments. We send email and push notification reminders when your child reaches each age-based milestone, so you won’t forget to create a babypage. You also have the option to select pregnancy, age-based milestones, first events, or holidays where we ask multiple-choice questions to create story content, saving you time while also providing the flexibility of entering custom text should you wish.
