When it comes to keeping baby's memories, one question comes up often: is a birth book or a photo album better? Both have their strengths, but they do not quite serve the same purpose.
The photo album
The photo album puts the image first. It is perfect for gathering your most beautiful photos in one place. Its only drawback is that it says little on its own. In a few years, the photos will be there, but the emotions, the stories and the dates will often be gone.
The birth book
The birth book, for its part, blends writing and keepsakes. You note the important moments, your emotions, the firsts, and you add photos and little objects. It is this blend that makes it come alive. Your child will be able to read it later and discover their story in your own words.
Why not choose both
Nothing stops you from keeping an album for your photos and a birth book for the story and the keepsakes. But if you have to choose just one, the birth book has the advantage of bringing everything together: the text, the images and the objects, all in one place.
Our baby memory book and pregnancy journal was designed for this. It combines pages to fill in, spaces for your photos, pockets for your little treasures and a keepsake box for the rest. One single object for the whole story, from pregnancy to age five.
