The first months with baby go by in a whirlwind. Between short nights and full days, it is easy to tell yourself you will remember everything, then realize the details fade. Here is how to keep the essentials without spending hours on it.
Write it down in the moment, even just a few words
You do not need to write long texts. A few words are enough, as long as they are noted at the right moment. On the day of the first smile, the first full night or the first burst of laughter, take a minute to jot it down somewhere. It is this habit, more than the length, that makes the difference.
Keep the little objects as you go
The hospital bracelet, a lock of hair, a first drawing, a tag from an outfit that is now too small: put these items away as soon as you think of it, otherwise they get lost. A dedicated place, like a keepsake box, keeps you from finding them scattered all over.
Use reminders to help you
It is easier to forget nothing when something reminds you of the milestones ahead. A calendar, an app, or a newsletter that sends you reminders based on baby's age can keep you from missing the big moments.
That is exactly what Jadou and Flo offers. Our baby memory book brings together easy to fill pages, pockets and a keepsake box, and a personalized newsletter that sends you reminders based on your due date. Everything you need to remember baby's first months, with no pressure.
