The First 100 Days — A Newborn Companion

At 3 a.m., everything gets blurry. When did the baby last feed? Which side? How many wet diapers today? Was that cough there yesterday? Did anyone actually eat dinner?

The First 100 Days is a Philippines newborn journal and workbook for the part of parenthood nobody can fully prepare you for. It's seven short chapters you can read one-handed, covering the first days home, feeding, sleep, crying, checkups and vaccines, your own recovery, and day 100. After each chapter, there are a few simple pages to fill in, and at the back, a quick one-line-a-day log for every week.

It helps you get the important things sorted early: the pediatrician's number, birth registration and PhilHealth, a safe sleep setup before the first nap, and a visitors rule someone else can say at the door so you don't have to.

What's inside

• Our Care Team and First Week — the numbers and plans you'll need from day one
• Safe Sleep — a checklist to confirm with your pediatrician before the first nap
• Our Feeding Plan — whatever feeding looks like for your family, written down
• Sharing the Nights and The 3 a.m. List — so the nights don't all fall on one person
• Our Soothing Playbook — what actually calms your baby, for whoever's on duty
• Vaccines and Checkups and Growth — records you'll want at every appointment
• Call the Pediatrician Today If… and Go to the ER Now If… — written down before you need them
• Me and Help, Written Down — because the parent needs looking after too
• 28 weekly log pages, one line a day

It's for first-time parents, families welcoming a new baby, and anyone who wants the newborn stage to feel a little less chaotic. It also makes a genuinely useful baby shower gift, especially for the couple who already has more tiny socks than they'll ever need.

It won't get you more sleep, and it isn't medical advice. But it gets the important things out of your exhausted head and into one place your pediatrician can actually read.
