Rating: Summary: The perfect gift Review: Cradle The Thought allows new moms to chronicle the first twelve months of their baby's life in a week by week format. It asks the new mom all *kinds* of thought provoking questions, like what was your husband's reaction when you told him you were in labor, and how do you feel about breastfeeding. It suggests you include a photo of your baby each month next to an object (the same object each month) so you can watch how their growth has progressed. It includes space to record the achievement of certain milestones, and so much more!It has such a warm and charming feel -- perfect to be given as a gift to a special new mother.
Rating: Summary: This is a wonderful book Review: I bought this book in 2001, shorly after my little girl was born. I really wanted to savor every memory of that time for me and also for my daughter. As I filled out the pages I thought that one day, when she is a new Mom, going through all the highs and lows, she could look at this and hopefully it would help her. Now that my "baby" is 3 1/2, I like to go back and look at this journal from time to time. It is AMAZING how much she has changed and it is amazing how many memories this book brings back. It allows you to capture such a special time in your life. I strongly reccommend this book to any new Mom. I also think it is a great shower gift.

Rating: Summary: I'D GIVE IT TEN STARS IF I COULD!!! BEST JOURNAL! Review: I cannot tell you how much I love this book! I almost didn't buy because it's pretty expensive and my baby was already three months old when I discovered it. I am so glad I bought it anyway. This book is so great! The author has thought of great questions to ask. Things you'll be glad you wrote about, but never would have thought to write otherwise. I suggest you buy this before the baby is born, as there are several pages devoted to the labor and such. If you are undecided about this book--buy it! You'll be so glad you did. Buy it soon though. It's amazing how much you forget! I know. I had to try and go back and fill in the pages for my baby's first three months. I look forward to sharing this with my son when he is older. It will be a treasured keepsake!

Rating: Summary: Best Journal for Mom Review: I have enjoyed writing in this journal so much! I know I will keep this for me and have a second baby book to give to my son. I want to look back at my son's first year and remember all my thoughts, feelings and experiences. With the prompted questions, this journal helps you express everything, things I would not have thought of in a regular journal.
Rating: Summary: A journal for the non-journal writer. Review: I only regret that I did not get this book before our baby came. However 1 month later I started entering my thoughts and feelings and filling up the early pages with other words I needed to write. I love this journal because the few simple questions asked weekly are unique and thought provoking. I feel I have recorded many special emotions and memories that may have otherwise been lost.

Rating: Summary: GREAT IDEA! Review: I really love this journal. Guided journals are the best! There are so many tiny details that I would have normally never thought to write about and they would be gone forever. Most baby books have the basics - 'first step', 'first smile' etc... but this book helps you remember the other really important events. For example: 'How is mom feeling?', 'How is baby sleeping?', 'How does baby like to be held?', 'What's babys favorite toy?', 'What noises is baby making?', 'What's babys favorite game?'. My son is 7 months old and when I read back to the earlier pages, I realize that I had already forgotten so much. Thank goodness for this book! The only tiny, minor flaw that I feel this book has is that some of the questions repeat a bit too often. Some of the questions need to repeat because things change, but I feel that on several occasions I am just writing 'same as last time'. But I still highly recommend this book!! It's a great shower gift...or buy it for yourself like I did. I accidentally misplaced my journal and couldn't find it for about 3 weeks and I felt l lost - it's amazing how much your baby can change in that amount of time. That shows how much I rely on this journal. Don't wait until it's too late, buy it now, you'll be eternally glad you did!
