My sister just had her fourth child and to keep the first three occupied so that she can feed the fourth, she added a dog to the family too! Sometimes I worry about her—not that she doesn’t have everything completely under control for her little ones. It’s just that I worry about her. I don’t think she has time to remember to brush her teeth, never mind make all her and baby #4’s doctor’s appointments, take vitamins, and know what season it is. I’m worried this first year will fly by and she won’t remember when Ferdia first said “mama,” slept through the night, or rolled over. She was so good at recording the first three and I know it pains her that everything has fallen apart at baby number four—and he will be the undocumented one!

So I’m thinking to send her The Essential Baby Organizer: Birth to One Year. This cool organizer will keep her up-to-date as the days, weeks, and months whiz by. Chock full of charts and journal pages, the spiral-bound book is divided into three-month sections and functions either as a place to jot notes or as a full-fledged baby book. The sales copy says “plenty of pages to track baby’s feeding, sleeping, and diapering patterns—popular topics for parents, friends, caregivers, and pediatricians during the newborn months—along with useful benchmarks for what to expect as baby grows. Journal pages are sprinkled throughout the organizer, so even the busiest parents will capture every detail of infancy, including baby’s exciting “firsts.”

It’s a great gift for first time parents who will painstakingly document baby’s burps, bed-sheet changes, and bowel movements, but it’s also a fantastic gift for the mom who needs a simple and organized way to keep her head attached.
