When I received the Baby Daze baby organizer to review, I instantly wished I had one when Leah was born. The first few weeks as a new parent (or should I say months), are all about recording information about your baby. First its breastfeeding and dirty diapers, then it becomes sleep habits and solid foods that they’ve tried. I had so many different slips of paper, notebooks and agendas lying around in attempt to keep myself organized, but in my “daze” I could hardly understand my own shorthand and chicken scratch. Had I known about the Baby Daze organizer, I would have been in a much better state!
The Baby Daze organizer is incredibly well designed and simple to use, it’s no wonder it is one of the PTPA Summer Campaign winners! I highly recommend it for any new parent. It has sections for: Feeding and Diapering, Sleeping, Pumping, Milestones, Gift Tracker, Medical Log and Contact Information. The design and layout of each section is well thought out so that you can easily record the information you need for your child. The organizer comes as a small 3-ringed binder so you can add and remove sections easily, with tabs to flip to the section you want.
For the Feeding and Diapering section you can record what time you last fed the baby, circle which boob you fed the baby on (L or R) and how long each feed was (these are all the things you need to know that you always forget when you’re sleep deprived). For the diapering section, you can indicate whether the diaper was wet or soiled so you can make sure your baby is producing the right number of wet diapers, thereby ensuring your baby is properly hydrated. In the Sleeping section, you draw a line through the hours that the baby slept so you can see patterns in sleep habits over several days or weeks, valuable in the sleep training stage. When the time comes for solids, the Food Diary is incredibly useful for recording what different foods your baby has tried and their reaction to it, so you can make sure you wait the necessary 3 to 5 days before starting a new food.
After using the Baby Daze organizer, it is easy to see that it is designed by a professional organizer and a mom. It really does make life with a baby a little easier and has helped get through the daze of being a new parent.
