I remember the first time I came home with my oldest. I completely winged feeding and changing times. I had absolutely no clue what I was doing and when. So, when I had my second I knew how important it was to track this information.
I started carrying around a notebook that tracked his feeding, sleeping, and changing times. The notebook was very useful for me and came in handy at Doctor’s appointments but it was a pain to carry around. It often got beat up by being thrown in the diaper bag or neglected if I had forgotten a pen while I was out.
Itzbeen Baby Care Timers has taken this system and made it easy, fast, and convienent!It’s a great multi-purpose gadget that personally every new mom should have! It comes in pink, blue, or green, and you can buy them individually or in a twin pack!
It received the 2007 Juvenile Products Manufacturing Associations Innovations Award and the 2007 iParenting Media Award for Best baby Care Product.
It retails for a suggested $24.99 USD. It’s available at most leading retail stores like Target, Babies R Us, Amazon.com, RightStart.com, Land of Nod, and Giggle. If you’d like you can also purchase it directly from their website by clicking HERE.Itzbeen is not about making babies get put on schedules but just the opposite! Helping parents learn their babies schedules! It will help especially new parents figure out why their child is crying or fussy. Help them remember when things were done last. Maybe mom walks out the door to run and errand and forgets to tell dad or the babysitter what times she last did things. The Itzbeen will help with all of this!
Features:
- Soft Glow Night Light
- Nursing Reminder (what side you did last)
- Backlight
- Button Lock
- Optional Alarms
- Back Clip
“ITZBEEN™ Baby Care Timer was developed by a new mom and dad who found themselves sleep-deprived and needing help to remember baby care details, such as when their baby last ate or napped. They tried charts and journals, but thought there had to be a better way. So, they created the ITZBEEN™: a multi-purpose nursery tool that helps new parents remember the basic details of baby care. The ITZBEEN™ has four timers that count up with the touch of a button, and a host of other helpful features, all designed with the needs of a new parent in mind.”
When I first received the Itzbeen I was surprised by its size. For some reason I thought it was going to be bigger. It was actually smaller then my monitor which was great! It was simple to set up and I loved that it had lock button on the side so I couldn’t accidentally reset the timers. It also had a clip so I could easily attach it to my pants or bag.
I also liked that it had a back light so you could always see what was it read. It also has a clock on it which is extremely helpful as well. If you need to get up in the middle of the night you can just grab it and go. If you don’t want to turn all the lights on hit the nightlight feature and you can use it to see around. The light will automatically turn off after 7 minutes.While we are past the feeding stage and such I have been using this to help with a potty training schedule! When the timer goes off my son knows it’s time for him to try and use the big boy potty! It’s definitely helped…and it’s way cheaper then any potty training timer I’ve seen!
Itzbeen has generously offered a green Itzbeen to one of my readers!

I know it will all be useful but I think the nursing side reminder will be most helpful in the middle of the night feedings. Baby’s due in just over a month! 🙂
