It's that simple. Well-put-together. The binding is fantastic. Illustrations are lovely. All of the holiday firsts, as well as all of the firsts in general, appeal to me. There are a lot of good questions here, as well as places to put photos. In the back, there's even a decent-sized pocket for any extra photos. I also have to mention how much I appreciate the fact that it is gender-neutral. You'd never know it's there, which makes me even happier.
The only positive aspect of this product is that it is attractive, which is why I purchased it. I will, however, return it to you. First, it has an unusual odor, which my 5-year-old daughter picked up on and asked, "What is that smell?" Second, there are numerous grammatical and mechanical errors, as well as some unusual wording. (Example: "How we're going to let you know we're expecting"). There are commas that aren't needed, incorrect plural/singular usage, and incorrect word forms. Third, and most importantly, this book has an unsettling attitude toward parenting. This book should be avoided at all costs, especially if you have other children. "You make my existence matter," it says on the first page. " Could you please excuse me?" Prior to having children, my existence was significant. Other pages say things like "You are our greatest blessing" and "You became my everything," which isn't very helpful when it comes to dealing with siblings. My daughter is ecstatic to have a sibling, but I had to reassure her for the first time that this is not how I feel, and that it is unhealthy for one person to be another's entire world. In addition, the family tree's structure is illogical. There are just a bunch of random boxes with no discernible pattern. I debated returning it because it is lovely and there are some pages I like, but in the end, it's just too much for me. This is a book that I would never feel comfortable using.
It's great that there's plenty of room to jot down notes and add photos. I started my book when my baby was 5 months old and immediately regretted not purchasing it sooner! because I assumed I would remember everything since it was my first child, but I was mistaken! If you're pregnant and trying to decide whether to wait until your baby is born or buy it now, go ahead and buy it now! and start writing things down in the book whenever you get a chance because time flies and before you know it, your baby will be five months old and you won't remember anything. I recommend purchasing it before the baby is born, even if you don't think you'll use it. There are many pages about a newborn that you should start writing the first week your new baby is born. I was so taken with it that I bought one as a gift for a friend's first child. I'm going to get one for any future babies we have; it's a must-have. I can't wait to open the book when I'm older and my children are older and remember all the cute things I wrote down. It's the small things that make a big difference.
However, I am a grammar nerd, and this book is in desperate need of a copy editor. The packaging and the book itself contain numerous errors (misuse of commas and colons, incorrect sentence structures, incorrect prepositions, and so on). "Who was the first person you bathed?" for example. ”. Huh? Because of the way the "inspirational messages" are worded, the book might be best suited for only children if the language is overlooked. They'd be difficult to explain to a sibling and might incite jealousy. The message that explains "Your existence gave my life meaning" (or something along those lines) is troubling to me. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes br>It's a pity, because I really like the design and the soft-colored woodland illustrations. This is one of the most stunning books I've ever seen (though there are a lot of long answer texts). Please correct the errors so that I can use the updated version with my next child!.
This book was purchased to keep track of our baby's development and milestones. The only part I didn't like was the reference to our baby as a "gift from above. " To me, it was just a smidgeon of religion. It's not a big deal, but I'd prefer it to be more neutral for my tastes.
A lovely baby book with simple and thoughtful pages to fill in. The reason for the four-star rating is the following:
1. If you want to start with grandparents, the family tree (shown) is extremely confusing and appears to be impossible to fill out.
2. The spiral binding is far too small, making it difficult to turn the pages and prone to tearing as the book ages and is used.
3. There is a special section dedicated to the first holidays, but New Year's Day/Eve is not included. This could be due to the fact that the book is sold worldwide, but there are also all of the other traditional American holidays, such as the Fourth of July.
4. This is not a gender-related issue in my opinion. I'm expecting twins (one boy and one girl) and I'm glad I only bought one book instead of two. This is the one I'm going to use with my daughter. I wish this company produced a more traditional "boy" book because I adore the format and simplicity of this one.
The only thing this one lacks that I wish it did is: br>br>
- The ability to incorporate pagesbr>- More storage space for mementos (birthday cards, hospital bracelets, and so on).
I don't usually write reviews, but I'll make an exception for this one. This baby book is one of my favorites. It's attractive while remaining gender-neutral (for my son, I don't associate colors with gender, but I didn't want an ugly pink baby book, and my daughter isn't pink either). It's almost like a scrapbook, but with prompts and the majority of the embellishments already in place (I added washi tape borders to my photos). I can't say enough about how much I love this baby book! The only criticism I have is that the binding is too small. The spirals appear to be full, despite the fact that I still have photos to upload.
