Oh Baby! : A Journal

Rating:
Summary: Great for organized moms-to-be!
Review: A beautifully laid-out and thorough resource for moms-to-be. I'll keep several on hand to use as baby shower gifts! The authors haven't missed a single detail. Very well done and a cut above all other baby journals out there.

Summary: Not as great as I thought.....
Review: After reading all the reviews for this baby journal, I couldn't wait to receive it. It is pretty - the colors and set up is fun and different, but I was really disappointed in the overall book. There is not a lot of room to insert photos and other memoirs......which is why I will be returning it for a book that offers much more space for these items.

Summary: Sweet, fun, and open-ended
Review: Definitely the nicest choice I've seen! This book has a clean, simple, fun design that basically stays out of the way and lets your baby take center stage. Too many baby books are fussy affairs that impose their own restrictions on you. Another plus, for non-Christian parents: no pre-printed sections for baptism, "baby's first Christmas," etc. Most supposedly secular baby books assume the family is Christian...a baby book with a lot of blank pages about Christian celebrations can make a child feel like an outsider.

Summary: Fun!
Review: Hip, funky and fun. A great keepsake for mom and baby that's different from all those dowdy journals out there.

Summary: What a unique baby book!
Review: I got this book because I didn't like the "traditional" baby books. I like the layout and design but wish there was more room to write the details of the monthly milestones. Also, it would be nice if other sections like eating and clothes were divided by age so that you don't fill up the page with just one moment.

Summary: Great for First Born
Review: I loved this baby book except for one thing... it assumes the book is for your first born. I bought this for my second child - and there aren't any spaces for sibling information! Otherwise - a beautiful, great baby book!!

Summary: A hip, modern baby book
Review: I ordered this book for my new baby after reading all of the positive reviews here at Amazon. I agree that this is an awesome baby book and I like it much better than the traditional ones I've seen in the stores. It asks a lot of questions that I wouldn't have thought of otherwise and I think my daughter will really enjoy it when she's older. My only complaint is that although it has pockets for stuff (a larger one in the back and a smaller one in the book for hospital bracelets, etc.), the binding doesn't allow much room for these things. If you put very much in at all, the book doesn't close right and I'm the kind of person who likes everything to look neat and orderly, so that part kind of annoys me. I think it would be much better if they put it on a spiral binding. However, I wouldn't let that part influence you not to buy this book--it would still be my top choice regardless of the binding issue. If you enjoy writing/journaling, I think you'll have a lot of fun with this one.

Summary: The perfect baby shower gift!
Review: I purchased Oh Baby!: A Journal as a shower gift and what a success! All the moms loved it and wanted to know where they could find it. We all loved the illustrations and look and feel of the book. The headings for the sections were perfect and there is just enough space for everything but not too much so the task of filling it in isn't too daunting. Especially unique are the envelopes and folders to hold things; my favorite is the catch-all one at the end called "stuff". I agree with one of the other reviewers - fun and hip!

Summary: Sweet, fun, and open-ended
Review: No baby book will have EVERY page you'd hope for, but this one comes pretty close. I liked it because it was sweet, but not too frilly (we have a baby boy, but it would work for either), detailed, but not too "hokey." It has places to hold little keepsakes, and I like how it captures a little about the parents for posterity, too. Would definitely buy for baby #2 if we do this again!
