If you’re expecting a little bundle of joy or are looking for an extra-special new-parent gift, then a baby milestone book is the perfect way to celebrate and capture baby’s ‘firsts’, whether that’s their first smile, first words, or first time crawling.

While we're sure you will have these little memories saved on your social feed or phone camera roll, nothing compares to having something material to flick back through with fondness when they get older. A milestone book will keep all those precious memories safely recorded, so you don’t need to worry about lost devices or failed cloud back-ups – we’ve all been there.

We’ve found some absolutely beautiful baby memory books that will take pride of place on your bookshelf. With whimsical illustrations, contemporary designs, and the option to record memories and milestones from pregnancy through to their first day of school, this is a book that’ll be treasured by parents, and baby, for years to come.
