Waiting for Baby Event... ITZBEEN Review and Giveaway

As most parents can tell you, newborn babies make you sleep deprived. You stumble around, sometimes finding time to shower and sometimes forgetting where your shower is! Yet you're supposed to keep track to make sure that baby is being fed and changed often enough and to make sure they're getting enough sleep. Baby's on meds? I'd have to write the time I gave her medicine on my hand otherwise I'd lose the list.
Greg Sheldon, a stay-at-home dad, has come to the rescue of all of us! He created the ITZBEEN timer, a handy, easy to use gadget that keeps track of how long it's been since the last diaper change, feeding, asleep/awake, plus a fourth timer you can use for whatever you want. Plus these timers also have an optional alarm that will beep and light up as a reminder.

The ITZBEEN (pronounced "it's been") also has a small nightlight to help you maneuver without crashing into things and a backlit display to help read it at night. It has a clip on the back to attach it to the diaper bag (or your pants) and a nursing reminder switch so you know which side baby nursed from last.The big thing to note about ITZBEEN is that it is not made to put your baby on a schedule! It's help you remember and to help you figure out why baby's upset (maybe she needs a nap!)

Not only will the ITZBEEN be perfect for those first few weeks (or months) of craziness, but it helps a bunch when you have more than one caregiver! When Bok Boy was a baby, hubby was a student and I worked. Many times I'd run in the door literally as he was running out and I never knew when baby had last been fed or napped. I had to play it by ear every evening! This timer would've saved me a ton of headache, particularly since it's so easy to use. Nothing to write down, just a quick button push and you're done!

ITZBEEN received a 2007 JPMA Innovation Award and a 2007 iParenting Media Award for Best Baby Care Product. It's also easily available at many stores, including Babies R Us, Target, Amazon, and many more!
