Each day covers 2 pages so it allows plenty of room for filling in the details you want to keep track of. It's great for a new mum to be able to look back every couple of days and see "wow what a change in baby's sleeping habits or feeding habits - I must be doing something right!" The sections you will find within one diary day spread includes:- * Sleeping habits * Settling times * Feeding habits * Baby's mood * How mum is feeling today * Activities done today * Achievements today * What nappy's baby has had. The diary has enough pages to cover the first three months of your baby's life. It is divided into monthly sections by three introduction pages which list possible developmental changes you may notice with your baby in that month. The diary size is 140mm x 140mm, bound with a black wire binding so it can flip back on itself for easy writing. A great gift for a new or expectant mum.
