When did he....? How long ago did he....?


These are questions tired, frazzled parents will ask again and again in those first few sleep-deprived weeks. There is an answer. It's called the Itzbeen. The simple push of a button (yes, that's really all you have to do) will count the minutes and hours since baby's last bottle, nap, or ... you know. My mom bought this for me during my first week home after she realized how completely out of touch I was. It was a lifesaver. We still use it to track baby's medicine dosing. This is one gadget I would recommend to any new mother.

This sounds like the perfect thing for a second (or third, or fourth, etc.) time parent as well! I can't fathom keeping everyone's schedules straight especially while a newborn is still so unpredictible (and Moms are so so tired).
I know what I'm getting some lucky second-time moms for their shower!
