What This Journal Is

The First Year Baby Journal is a calm, parent‑friendly way to capture your baby’s first year—from tiny everyday moments to meaningful milestones. It’s designed for real life: short prompts, flexible pages, and plenty of white space so you can write when you can, not when you’re supposed to.

This isn’t about filling every page. It’s about keeping what matters.
