I recently received a small device called the Itzbeen which is designed to help new, sleep-deprived parents remember baby care details. With the push of a button parents can track the time since the last feeding, last diaper change or last nap. There is also an additional tracking button which can be used to track time between medications, exercise or any activity of your choice. Another great feature of the Itzbeen is the breastfeeding reminder, which helps nursing mothers to remember which side their child last nursed from. Say good bye to the rubber band around the wrist!
As you can see in the above picture, the Itzbeen is about the size of an old-school cell phone and has a clip for parents to secure it to their clothing, the crib or another convenient location. From reviews I've read, parents seem to love this device. "This product is a must for mommy brain!" said one. "I'm not sure what my 'husband' and I would do with out this" said another.
If you're having trouble remembering the basics or have a baby on the way, check out the Itzbeen. It can be purchased at most baby stores for $25.
Wow that seems like such a good idea. But at least in our case, our kids never had any trouble reminding us when they needed to be fed, changed or just paid attention to. Now if the Itzbeen could perform just one of those functions, it'd be the greatest invention. Ever. - Tom
