Keeping a baby journal is one of the best ways to track this precious time in your lives, while creating a priceless memento to refer back to over and over again.
A baby journal can be anything you choose to make it. It can be a practical way to track health and medical information, or it can provide insights into your thoughts.
Your baby journal can be used to track basic health and medical information, such as your baby’s weight when you welcome them home, or how much they’ve grown over a period of time. You can use your baby journal to track physical changes you notice in your baby over the weeks and months.
One of the key reasons to keep a baby journal might be to capture your thoughts about special moments. As a busy father or mother, the days can go by quickly and you can easily forget the profound yet fleeting moments you share with your baby.
While you might have your phone ready to capture your baby’s first bath or be lucky enough to capture their first steps, sometimes the most special moments happen in the quiet hours, such as when they grab your finger with their hand, or when they first smile at you. With a written journal, you can track these moments and note down your feelings and thoughts before you forget.
A written journal is a record of your thoughts and gives you a way to reflect back on special memories and events that photos and videos can’t provide. This internal monologue captures thoughts, ideas, and feelings, and gives you richer memories, as well as a detailed account of everything you want to remember.
Childhood memories are some of the most precious memories we have. As your baby grows, your journals can become precious family histories to be passed down the generations, while giving your children insights into your relationship with them when they were babies.
Journaling is a quiet, solitary activity that helps you clarify your thoughts and feelings and develop new insights. It can help you bring your thoughts together, reflect on what’s happening, and take some time out to gain perspective so you fully experience everything that’s happening.
Being a new father or mother can be an emotional rollercoaster given how busy you become and the new challenges and rewards of welcoming a new member into your family. By expressing your feelings in a baby journal, you can ease stress and even boost your physical resilience and immunity, suggest experts.
Keeping a baby journal could strengthen the bond you have with your baby. By reflecting on your thoughts and feelings, you can be more aware of your emotions and experiences, and end up developing a stronger attachment with your baby.
The first thing to keep in mind is there are no fixed rules, and you can (and should) keep any type of baby journal you prefer. If you don’t enjoy writing, a video journal or a photo journal with verbal or written annotations might be all that you need to track your thoughts and feelings. Write in your journal as often as you like, and in any format you like. For example, your journal can take the form of personal letters to your baby.
You don’t need any special equipment to keep a baby journal. You can get started by starting a new file on your computer or buying a new notebook.
You can write about anything, and that’s probably a challenge for some parents – just what should you write about? Some ideas for getting started include the following.
Ultimately, your baby journal should serve your thoughts, feelings, and memories. Go with the flow, remember that it can be for capturing both special moments and everyday thoughts, and use your own motivations for journalling to guide format and content.
