Baby's Eat, Sleep & Poop Journal, Log Book (Aqua)

This little journal is a must-have! I first received it as a gift, then bought it myself, and finally bought copies to give to other expectant mothers. It contains charts to track eating, sleeping, and pooping, which were super helpful and fun. Plus, I found the back of the pages really useful for making notes. I love looking back at memories I would have otherwise completely forgotten about.

Oh my word I love this thing! My son spent a week in NICU when he was first born, and I was unable to feed him for the majority of that. So I had to pump, and take meticulous record of when he pooped/peed and how much, when he ate and how much and so on. When we got home I wanted to keep tracking so that I could make sure he was getting enough nutrients - as he had been on IV for a week and as such was very under weight. Anyway, this book is set up very nicely. It is easy to track anything you would need for your little one. Every left page is a "notes" page where I tracked when I took my meds (since I had to time everything from waking my little one, feeding him, taking my own meds etc), and every right page is where you track their eating/pooping/peeing/sleeping times. It was very useful to have all of it together. On top of that, the book is nicely made. You don't have to worry about losing pages, as they are quite thick and won't rip out. My oldest son has thrown that thing down the stairs, across the room, walked around holding just a few pages, just about anything short of throwing it in my toilet; and it has done just fine. I am very glad I purchased this book; it has made my life a tiny bit easier with all the crazy of having a newborn.

I'm guessing any seasoned parents could have told me that during those first several sleep-deprived weeks, it would be hard to keep track of when I last fed my baby, but I had no idea how valuable this book would be! My husband and I have been using the journal from the day we brought our son home and rely on it so much. The days all started to blend together early on, and it was often hard to remember which breast I needed to start with at the next feeding until we checked the journal. We jot down questions for our pediatrician on the blank pages so we always have them handy. We're always prepared when she asks us how many times he's wetting/pooping and how often he's nursing. And we love updating the pages with his weight and height. It has also helped us keep track of medicine dosages and times (there isn't a column for medicine dosages, we just make a little star next to the time). It's small enough to fit in the diaper bag but not so small that it's hard to write in. I'm about to order our second journal because we've almost filled up the first one (our son is a little over 3 months now, and even though he's sorta got a schedule and we've gotten better at remembering, we want to have one to help with keeping track of his reflux medicine dosages). This is a must have for any parents with newborns, and would make a great shower gift if you're looking for one!

Bought this as a baby shower gift. The Mom-to-be loved it. Guests had never seen a journal like this. I wish I would’ve known about these 10+ years ago when I had my child. It would’ve help calm my anxiety about keeping track of everything.

I love this journal! I spent a lot of time researching all the different ones out there before settling on this one. It was great for keeping track of both nursing sessions and bottle feelings, and we are also able to record nap times so that we can see patterns and changes over time. I also like that the back of each page is blank for extra notes, so I use this area to jot down any special moments or milestones so I don't forget and can transfer them to the baby book later, My son is a year old now, but I am still buying these journals because they are a great way for the nanny and I to share info with each other. When I get home I can see how he ate and napped even if I forget to ask her about it. I have since bought this for other new moms and would recommend it to anyone, whether they are planning to breast or bottle feed
