I have a question for the Mommas out there….oops, and Daddies! We have like thirty baby-showers coming up in the next year (okay, maybe not thirty but the number is climbing by the day here!). As such, I have been shopping different present options.
I came across this gadget called Itzbeen on a website somewhere and the reviews were all really good.

I think it looks really neat and handy–but, I am not yet a mother so what do I know!
According to the Itzbeen website:
ITZBEEN™ Baby Care Timer was developed by a new mom and dad who found themselves sleep-deprived and needing help to remember baby care details, such as when their baby last ate or napped. They tried charts and journals, but thought there had to be a better way. So, they created the ITZBEEN™: a multi-purpose nursery tool that helps new parents remember the basic details of baby care. The ITZBEEN™ has four timers that count up with the touch of a button, and a host of other helpful features, all designed with the needs of a new parent in mind
They say it can even remind a mom which side the baby nursed from last!
(another question: is it that easy to forget? I just figured you would be able to tell, if you know what I mean! In that there may be a weight difference?)
So, maybe you moms out there can lend me your opinion on this…. would this make a good gift? Is it something that even seems useful, or would it be one of those presents that gets shoved to the back of a closet? lol…
That sounds like a really cool device to me (I’m not yet a mama though!). As you saw on my blog, my sister just had a baby and I think she would LOVE this. Have a good day now
Oh good, we have one yes for your sister then! Getting closer to ordering then!
I wish I had seen this a year ago for my sister!! It sounds like a great idea to me
Stacey I’d totally do a farmers market swap with you 
Too bad berries don’t travel well, I’d ship some to you! If you like making jam check out my post from today 
Sounds like a fun concept – I don’t have kids yet, so I can’t comment on practicality, but it sure is cute!
Oh!! I have a dear friend who is pregnant right now…She’ll be giving birth in August, and I think this would be a great gift for her!
hmm, unfortunately I can’t give you any real world reviews, but just about everyone I know is pregnant, so I appreciate the shower idea
hmmm… toughie. I don’t know if I’d actually have had the time to even feed in any of the details…? I remember, I used a little pin to remind me which side my little ones nursed from. hahaha! That must sound so primitive! But ya… that’s all I did. The babies cried when they were hungry… and never really followed a feeding schedule. They were feeding on demand… and they were demanding!! (Still are!). But still – I’d probably love it if it were gifted to me
did i talk too much right then? sorry…. with 2 kids under 3… that’s all I can talk about!! xxx
Sounds like a neat gadget and I’m sure it would be useful especially during the first few months when everything seems so hectic!
i need to find gifts too. as a singleton it is hard for me to figure out what is good or not. i usually ending up buying clothes.
I am not even a parent so my opinion is probably not very helpful–but as someone who thinks about this stuff all the time, this looks like an awesome product!!
I have a lot of babyshowers this summer, too!
I don’t have kids (yet) but this gadget sure looks neat!
