Some parents may want to keep baby journals to remember their child’s ‘firsts’ and memorable moments. Whether they decide to purchase one from a store, receive one as a gift, would like to make one or choose to do one online; the issue that people run into most, is either there are so many memorable moments or not enough time to keep up with everything! Intentions may be there, but how can one keep up to date baby journals without skipping a beat?
Cell Phones Are Productive
Cell phones may get in the way, or maybe now that parenting has come to the forefront, the countless hours’ texting and being on social media sites seemed to have diminished to nothing. Baby now consumes all of the time – rain, shine, and day, night…every waking or sleeping moment for that matter. Cell phones these days do have cameras on them though (well, most do) and it is a perfect tool to utilize. Memories can be captured quickly and the pictures can be used within the baby journals or they can serve as a memory jogger so one does not forget about anything to add.
Routine
Time management may not be everyone’s strong suit but routines do help. Setting some time aside for a new mother can be difficult but is necessary to maintain sanity. Whether it is five minutes a day or thirty-one day a week – whatever is conducive to the schedule lived. Setting time aside to work on the baby journals may be the perfect relaxation tool people have been looking for.
Track Medical Events
Some parents may not want to add medical records to their baby journals, but immunizations and the first cold as well as first tummy ache are actually things that some moms remember (dads too!) Especially for the new parents out there, the first time a baby gets a fever – surely, some thought that it was the end and they did not know what to do…those moments make for good stories later on when the subject is brought up again.
Share Photos Online
Baby journals may be created entirely online or they may be hand written, depending on one’s personal preference. Doing everything online though ensures that all the info is in one spot and can easily be shared between friends and family. Baby journals online are a great way to keep everyone involved in memorable moments even if they are not able to physically be there to see them occur. Baby journals can and should be printed/copied just in case something happens. Having a couple back-up pictures and written items may come in handy one day.
