This is how you make a baby photo book

The loving looks of the maternity visit, your child's favorite hug and the first smile. There are so many special moments in your baby's life that you all want to save for later. At Baby Diaries you can easily create a baby photo book for all these memories.

A baby photo book is a photo book in which you record the most beautiful, moving and special moments of your child for later. Such a baby photo book can of course also contain special stories and is not only fun for you as parents, but also for the grandparents and godparents.

Baby photo book for the first year

So much happens in your baby's first year that your head has trouble capturing it all in detail and in the right order. What did the new aunt look like when she first held your baby in her arms? When did you see your baby's first smile and how moved were you? When did his/her first tooth come through? What were the first words your baby babbled? You record all this in a baby photo book for the first year.

You can of course only fill a baby photo book with the most beautiful photos from your baby's first year, but it becomes even more fun if you add texts. Whether you write short or long texts, an accompanying text with your photos helps you to recall the memory even better.

Tip: before the birth, record the nine months of your pregnancy in a 9-month book.

Tips for maintaining your baby photo album

Making a 12 month baby photo album with so much going on can feel like an overwhelming challenge. We therefore recommend that you take it step by step. Take a moment every day or every week to update your baby photo album. Perhaps this can be done during the baby's afternoon nap or when your partner takes a stroll with the pram. By regularly choosing the most beautiful photos from your phone and camera, you avoid having to look through thousands of photos after a year.

It is also best to write the texts with the photos every day or every month. With so much going on around you, it's easy to forget the details or even entire moments. Sin of course!

Also keep space in your baby photo album for special mementos such as the birth announcement, sweet cards from friends and family and documents from the health clinic. In this way, your baby photo book becomes a complete collection of everything that happened in your child's first year of life.
