Personalize Your Baby Book From Cover to Cover
One of the most-loved features of Baby Notebook is how customizable the baby book is. You’re not stuck with generic titles or vague prompts. Instead, you can tailor the book to your baby's name, personality, milestones, and story.
Here are a few ways parents customize their book right inside the app:
Edit Titles to Make Every Page About Your Baby
Baby Notebook lets you swap out standard titles so they become personal and specific. A few examples:
- The Story of You → The Story of Levi
- Welcome Baby! → Welcome, Levi!
- Your Name → Levi Eric Broberg
- How Big Is Baby? → How Big Is Levi?
Small changes give your baby book big meaning. These details make your personalized memory book feel like it was designed just for your little one—because it was.

Choose Your Favorite Writing Prompts
Every family’s story looks different, so why should the prompts be one-size-fits-all? Pick the prompts that match your voice, the moments you want to remember, and the kind of story you want to tell.
Replace Pages for a Custom Look
If a layout doesn’t quite fit the photos you want to add, simply replace it. Your photos drop into the new layout automatically so you can preview different designs instantly.
Hide or Add Pages as Needed
Have pages you don’t need? Hide them.
Want extra space for milestones, vacations, or special moments? Add more pages.
With twins, multiples, blended families, adoption, or unique family stories, this flexibility makes all the difference. We’re proud of how adaptable our Baby Book is for LGBTQ and adoptive families. Check out this blog post for more examples.
Rearrange Pages to Fit Your Story
Every family’s year unfolds in its own rhythm. Move pages around to match the order of your baby’s milestones or the flow of your personal narrative.
Bring Color and Creativity Into Your Personalized Memory Book
Personalization gives you opportunities for expression. Many Baby Notebook parents love adding visual personality to their books using these options:
Colorful Quote Pages
Colorful quote pages add so much character to a personalized memory book. Whether it’s a favorite saying, a sweet moment you want to remember, or a song you sing to your baby daily, these pages make your book feel warm and vibrant.
Baby Milestone Graphics for Your Baby Book
Baby Notebook’s baby book offers milestone graphics that you can drop directly into your 9-picture grid. They’re perfect for marking each month or celebrating special milestones. These little details make your baby’s first-year story feel complete and visually cohesive.
We also offer free Moment Cards. Use them in baby book photos for everything from monthly photos to major milestones. Download your printable Moment Cards here!
Continue the Tradition with Your Family Yearbook
Your personalized baby book is just the beginning. Once you hit year one, you can create a custom memory book every year after using the Toddler Book, Magic Years, and Family Yearbook in the Baby Notebook app. This keeps photo organization simple and your family’s story beautifully preserved.
How to Personalize Your Family Yearbook
Here are some fun and creative ways to make your family yearbook feel truly your own:
- Rename chapters to match your family's traditions.
For example, Baby Notebook co-founder Davia changes the Autumn chapter to Back to School because it fits her family’s story better. - Add a holiday chapter at the end of the book.
It’s the perfect way to highlight celebrations, winter trips, and cherished traditions. - Mix big moments with small ones.
First day of school, Saturday pancake mornings, messy art projects come together to tell the real story of your year.
With Baby Notebook, each year becomes a new chapter and a manageable project that excites you.
