Today we're launching the Baby Book of Firsts by Remento, a new way to keep the stories behind the thousands of photos parents take in a baby's first years.

When my daughter was born, I took pictures constantly. Months later, I remembered what she looked like, but not what was happening around each picture: what made us laugh, what someone said, the details I was sure I'd remember.

That's why I think baby books matter. Most are bought with love, then ask parents to sit down and write it all out, in a season of life when time is the one thing nobody has. We wanted to make something simpler: the baby book you'll actually finish.

A survey we conducted found that 94% of new moms want a baby book, but only 34% have completed one.

What Is the Baby Book of Firsts?

The Baby Book of Firsts turns short recordings about the milestones that define a baby’s first year into written stories, printed beside your photos in a hardcover book. Choose a moment, add a photo, and tell the story out loud. Remento writes it, lays it out, and prints it, with a QR code linking each story back to your voice.

• Guided firsts: Meaningful moments to choose from, so there are no blank pages.
• Speech-to-Story™: You talk naturally, and Remento turns it into polished writing that still sounds like you, in first or third person.
• Stories beside photos: Each story is printed next to its photo, so it's a photo book and a story book in one.
• A hardcover keepsake: Remento handles the writing, layout, and printing. You review and edit every story before it goes to print.
• Voice playback: A QR code on each story links to the original recording.
  

The Baby Book of Firsts is a new Remento product line, separate from Remento's Life Story Book, which captures parents' and grandparents' life stories. Remento has appeared in national press and on Shark Tank, with Mark Cuban backing, and families have recorded more than one million stories with Remento.

How the Baby Book of Firsts Works

The Remento Baby Book of Firsts works in five simple steps, and your only job is to talk.

1. Pick a first. Choose a guided moment, like a first smile, word, or birthday, or any moment that matters to your family.
2. Add a photo. Use one already on your phone. It doesn't need to be perfect.
3. Talk for a minute. Tell it out loud, the way you'd tell a friend.
4. Remento writes it. Speech-to-Story™ turns your recording into a polished story you can review and edit.
5. Get your hardcover book. Remento lays out and prints the book, with a QR code on each story linking to your recording.

Why Families Love the Baby Book of Firsts

The Baby Book of Firsts takes the parts of making a baby book that are easiest to put off and makes them simpler. You always know where to start, you don't have to write the stories yourself, and there's no deadline hanging over you.

Always Know Where to Start

A blank baby book can be surprisingly hard to begin. What should you write about first? Which moments are worth including?

The Baby Book of Firsts gives you guided prompts for the moments families most want to remember, from a first smile or laugh to a first word, first steps, or first birthday. Pick the one that brings a memory to mind, add a photo, and start talking.

You Talk. We Do the Writing.

Most parents have plenty of stories. Finding the time to sit down and turn those stories into polished pages is the harder part.

With Remento, you don't have to write them yourself. Talk about the moment the way you would tell it to a friend, and Speech-to-Story™ turns your recording into a written story that you can review and edit before it goes into the book.

No Deadlines. No Catching Up.

Life with a baby doesn't always leave much time for sitting down with a baby book. And if you miss a few weeks or months, the last thing you need is another project to catch up on.

There’s no schedule to keep with the Baby Book of Firsts. Start whenever you're ready, use the photos already on your phone, and capture the firsts that matter to your family. You don't have to keep up. You just have to start with the moment you want to remember.

What Makes the Baby Book of Firsts Different

Most baby memory products solve only half the problem. Photo books and apps are easy but leave the stories out, while fill-in journals are meaningful but ask you to do all the writing yourself, page by page. The Baby Book of Firsts is built to be both easy and meaningful.

• No blank pages: Prompts are an invitation, not a checklist.
• No falling behind: There's no required schedule. Start any time, skip around, and fill in earlier moments with photos on your phone.
• You stay in control: Review and edit every story before it's printed.
• Built for the whole family: Partners, grandparents, and caregivers can add stories and share new ones with family right away.
• The book stands on its own: Every story is printed in full, so the book works even without the QR codes.
  

What Firsts Can You Capture in the Baby Book of Firsts?

The Baby Book of Firsts includes guided prompts for the moments families most want to remember, from a first smile or laugh to a first word, first steps, or first birthday. You can follow the prompts that feel meaningful to your family and skip the ones that don't.

And some of the firsts you'll want to remember won't be on any list. If your baby has a first that matters to your family, you can make that part of the book, too.

Remento Baby Book of Firsts FAQs

What is the Baby Book of Firsts by Remento?

The Remento Baby Book of Firsts is a hardcover baby book made from short voice recordings about a baby's firsts. Parents pick a moment, add a photo, and talk for about a minute, and Speech-to-Story™ turns the recording into a written story printed beside the photo. A QR code on each story plays the original recording.

How much does the Baby Book of Firsts cost?

The Baby Book of Firsts is available starting October 1, 2026 at remento.co/babybook. You can buy it for yourself or schedule it as a gift for a future date.

Is the Remento Baby Book a subscription?

Yes. The Baby Book of Firsts includes a full year to record stories, plus one hardcover book. After the first year, you can choose whether to renew if you'd like to keep recording new stories. Any stories and recordings you've already made remain accessible even if you don't renew, just as they are with Remento's Life Story Book.

Do I have to start the Baby Book of Firsts at birth?

No, you can start the Baby Book of Firsts whenever you're ready. Begin during pregnancy, at birth, or months or years later. You can skip around and fill in earlier moments with photos already on your phone.

What if I don't like recording myself?

You don't need to sound polished to use the Baby Book of Firsts. Speech-to-Story™ turns natural, rambling speech into clear writing that still sounds like you, and you review every story before it prints. Printing your book with QR codes is optional.

Will the QR codes in the Baby Book of Firsts still work years from now?

Yes. The QR codes will continue to work years from now. The Baby Book of Firsts never depends on its QR codes. Every story is printed in full, so the book stands on its own. You can also download your recordings at any time.

Can I give the Remento Baby Book as a gift?

Yes, the Baby Book of Firsts makes a meaningful baby shower or new-baby gift. Buy it at remento.co/babybook ($99) and schedule it for a future date, like the due date or the baby's arrival.

Is the Baby Book of Firsts the same as Remento's life story book?

No, the Baby Book of Firsts is a separate Remento product for a baby's early years. The original Remento Life Story book captures parents' and grandparents' life stories. Both use Speech-to-Story™ and QR code playback, but they're different books for different stages of life.

What is the difference between The Baby Book of Firsts by Remento and Qeepsake?

Both Remento and Qeepsake help parents capture memories and turn them into a physical keepsake, but they work differently. Qeepsake centers on text-based prompts and journal entries, which parents answer by text or in the app. Remento is built around speaking your memories aloud: you choose a first, add a photo, and talk for about a minute. Speech-to-Story™ technology turns that recording into a written story, which you can review and edit before it goes into your hardcover book. Remento also preserves the original recording with a QR code in the book, so your child can one day hear the story in your voice.
