Lindsay Harris is the mom behind this book. It’s because she’s a mom she knows just exactly it is that we new moms need to keep track of. She knew just how hard it was tracking her newborns schedule while she already had a schedule she needed to keep going for her toddler. She came up with a tracking system that made it much easier and thought how great it would be if every parent could home and have one of these available to them!

“One of the first tools Lindsay developed to help her through this difficult period was a tracking log for Juliet’s basic needs such as feeding, sleeping, diapering and bathing. The tracking enabled Lindsay to better understand Juliet’s patterns and to support a schedule that made everyone’s lives easier, while at the same time reducing stress.”

What I really liked about this book is it allowed all moms to use this book. It didn’t state to one specific mom or newborn. If you breastfeed or bottle feed or even used both this journal made it super easy to use. Tracking what you gave, when, which side, and how with just quick simple notes allowing you to get back to your family faster. It lets you track their toileting what they had and when as well as their sleep schedule so you can start to put together a pattern.
At the bottom of each daily chart there is a spot to check of “daily vitamin’ and ‘bath’. I laughed at first wondering if this was for mom or baby.
There is also a spot for notes so if something happened that day that you felt was needed to record you had sufficient space. The pages are all color coded to the color book you chose as well. You can chose from pink, blue, or green. I’d love to see a soft yellow in the future!
The back of the book has a double sided page for contacts, their numbers, addresses, and emails. It had a sturdy front and back and is small enough to throw in the small front pouch of your diaper bag or tuck into a top drawer of your nightstand. Spiral binding so it stays open.
Other then wanting a yellow selection I really can’t offer any ways to improve this book. I am happy to have one hand for when #3 finally comes our way as I often struggle with books that don’t stay simple and want to much for me. This is the perfect simple way to track the basics of your baby.

Lindsay has been sweet enough to let one J. Leigh Designz reader win a Glow Baby Journal in their choice of color (Blue, Pink, or Green)!
