Having a baby can be such a rewarding part of life but challenging at the same time. For new moms, keeping track of when your baby ate last, had their diaper changed, took a nap can be quite a task. This can be true for those of us that are not new to the baby stages too! Many new parents can get a little over-whelmed and have a difficult time recalling these simple tasks that don’t seem so simple at the time.
This is where the ITZBEEN Baby Care Timer comes in handy. This handy little baby timer was designed by a husband and wife to help create a solution to many of the “new parent challenges”. Their goal was to provide parents with a tool that could help first-time moms and dads become better parents as well as make being a parent just a little bit easier.
The ITZBEEN Baby Care Timer is a multi-purpose gadget that has four different timers that count up with the touch of a button. These one-touch timers display how long it’s been since:
- Your baby’s last diaper change
- Last time baby was fed
- Last time baby sleep or woke up
- Also an extra button to use for say last time baby took medication, exercised, etc
To use this timer, you just simply press a button after you have done any of the things mentioned above. It also is equipped with a soft-glow nightlight to help find your way around in the dark. This shuts off after 7 minutes. You will also be able to read times in the dark with the timer’s Backlight.
The ITZBEEN Baby Care Timer also has an optional timer alarm. This allows you to set an alarm to remind you if a certain time limit is reached. When the alarm goes off, the button lights up and you will hear a brief alarm sound. It is also very portable and has a back clip that can be attached to your pocket, purse, diaper bag, etc. For the moms who are nursing, it also has a Left And Right switch so you remember which side your baby nursed from last.
I am not a new mom but this timer definitely can come in handy. Since it is cold season, this can be used to keep track of when my little ones last took their medication. When you are stressed out and have sick kids, remembering when you gave your child medication last might not be easy. This also makes for a GREAT baby shower gift. If you are one that likes to give UNIQUE gifts, this is definitely one of them.

I received a product sample to provide you with this review. I was not paid any monetary compensation to publish this review. This review is my personal opinion only and receiving the sample has no impact on my opinion of the product.
I love that the ItzBeen was created by a mom and dad team, and it has 4 different timers to use.
I like all the cool colors that it comes in.
I subscribe to your blog!
their site is great! it has so much info about the usability of the timer. My girlfriend that has a baby the same age as mine (4 month old boy) SWEARS by it. She says that it really helps her live a ‘sane’ life — with the sleep deprivation that comes with a tiny one, using the timer allows her brain to focus on other important things while being able to take great care of her baby by having all details electronically noted!
I love the idea of multiple timers streamlined into one device. We are expecting #2, so life is only going to get more chaotic…

Wow! This is amazing. I’ve never seen one of these before! This timer would be such a blessing as a mom of 3 ages 4, 2, and 7 weeks. Between homeschooling, potty training and taking care of a baby that is cutting teeth life is crazy and it is so easy to forget!

I like the night light, so you can keep the lights down at night and still know what’s going on.
I learned that it offers a switch to let you know which side you nursed on last. Great, great idea!

I love that it will remind you what side you nursed on last, I always forget!
I am a fan on Facebook
Wow this is really cool! I learned that it has a self glow night light which is perfect when its dark and your up in the middle of the night for feeds.
I love practical items like this that are created by moms!
I have a newborn and two year old twins and can barely remember anything with the lack of sleep. I would love an itzbeen so I can remember to give the baby his reflux meds and what side I nursed on last and how long before.
I learned that it has received the JPMA 2007 Innovation Award,iParenting 2007 Media Award and DadLabs Top10 Award

Love how they flash the blogs that review them. I would love this for my pregnant sister. When my son was a baby we always forgot times unless we wrote them down (which was not often) and the sleep deprivation tends to dull my mind…lol! Thanks for the chance, justicecw@hotmail.com

Holy moley! What doesn’t this thing have? A left right nursing reminder? I didn’t even think of this as being a problem……
I learned they won the 2007 iMedia Parenting award, which I had never heard of (does that make me a bad mom??). Would LOVE the nursing (and side specific) timer!!

I like that is has the softglow night light because when I am getting up to feed in the middle of the night is when I totally forget when my little guy’s last nursing time was.

I like the colors and that I can use this nifty little device to keep track of things rather that my husband saying “i don’t know” when I inquire as to what time he last fed the baby.
I am a new mom and I could really use one of these! I like the nursing reminder since I sometimes can’t remember which side my daughter nursed on last.
What a terrific product to find as my daughter is expecting her first child! I love the multiple features, including the L/R designations for breast feeding. I perfect product for a new mom with ADD to help her stay organized and less stress.

I seem to always forget what side I am on when it comes to nursing, I love that there is a reminder for that.

i love that it keeps track of which side I am on for nursing. A lifesaver for sure!
I went to the website because I’m a rule follower, but I didn’t need to do that to tell you what I love about this product. Ever since I had my son a year ago, this is my #1 recommendation for new parents. We wouldn’t have survived without it! I love that it lights up for when you are using it in the middle of the night and I love that it has four independent timers. The “extra” one really came in handy when I was tracking my own pain medication post-partum!
