Frequently asked questions
Yes! Your baby's first year only happens once. You’ll find our prices comparable to any quality photo book, but you won't have to do the formatting, prompt writing, and remembering — we’ve got you, mama.
Hear it from a mom who has received her baby book—"Wow! I just received my baby book yesterday and I'm so impressed! The quality of the photos and the sturdiness of the book are just gorgeous... The book itself is not overpriced and the cost is very reasonable for the amount of pages. It's a substantial book... I will tell you that other sites charge double to triple this amount and the quality is not even close."
The Baby Notebook app is free to download. You’ll have access to the first three chapters of your book — Pregnancy, Family, and Home, which is all you need during pregnancy. Once your baby arrives, upgrade to one of our subscription plans: Plus; $6.99 per month or Premium; $49.99 per year. The books are sold separately. Your book price is dependent on your app subscription; As a Plus subscriber ($6.99 per month) you'll pay full price ($165 + shipping) per book. As a Premium subscriber ($49.99 per year) You’ll receive 40% off your book. That’s $99 +shipping per book. The books are hardbound with a matte finish. Book size 12x12 inches with 100+ pages.
Shipping within the U.S. starts at $6.99.
When you sign-up for Premium as a first-time subscriber you’ll receive a 7-day free trial. Your card will be charged one week after you sign-up for the Premium plan. Your subscription automatically renews unless you opt out.
In our app, you are filling the book out in the page format it will print. All the design work is done for you and by a mom with a 10-year background in design.

Our goal is for you to have a completed baby book in your hands just after your baby’s first birthday. We’ve found that we’re more likely to complete a baby book by paying upfront. By charging a subscription fee, we’re serving as your accountability partner to complete your baby book. As a Premium subscriber, it also allows us to give you better deals on the books because you’re investing more upfront. Plus, we now offer the Toddler book which is available in our app for your 12-24 month-old. Additionally, we have more books coming soon, so you'll want to stay subscribed!
If you don’t love a prompt, you have the flexibility to change titles, replace a page or hide the page so that it won’t print in your book. On our monthly journaling pages, you’ll find a 💡 icon where you can find additional prompts to inspire you.
Yes, you can choose to add pages to your book at an additional cost. Additional pages allow you to add important events to your book, like a baptism, a significant holiday or simply to add more photos.
Yes. However, we don't recommend turning the app notifications off. Instead, use the personalized settings to set your weekly app notifications to a day and time that fits your schedule. Our app notifications are a vital part of our service because they help remind you and prompt what to write. We want to make sure you don't leave any little moments behind.
The Baby Notebook app is currently only available in the USA.
Yes. Download the app on your tablet or iPad and sign in.
No, not at this time, you can only manage your projects on the mobile app itself.
Currently, we do not have a grammatical editing tool. However, we’ve found the free version of the Grammarly app works well. Check out this video to see how to install it.
We do not recommend gluing foot/handprints or keepsake envelopes into our books as you could risk damaging the pages of your book. However, we do have a place for photos of newborn hands and feet. So if you’d like to take a photo of your baby’s foot/handprints to include in your book there is a place for that. I’ve also seen parents take photos of the hospital bracelet or newborn booties on a white or black backdrop to include in their baby book if that is something you wish to include as well.
We want you to think of Baby Notebook not as a keepsake to give to your child once they’ve grown but to share with your child now as they grow. We felt that including delicate envelopes and footprints, which could smudge, makes it more likely to be stashed on a shelf out of reach of little hands.
