New Mom Survival Kit — 34 Printable Guides & Trackers for Your First Year
Everything a new mom needs, from hospital bag to first birthday. Instant download — 114 pages, US Letter & A4, print unlimited. Includes a bonus Starting Solids Kit.
You expected the love. Nobody prepared you for the logistics.
3 AM and your baby won't settle. You can't remember the last time you showered. The fridge is empty because the meal train dried up two weeks ago. Your mom asked five times whether you're "producing enough" and you don't know how to answer. You're doing a wonderful job. You're also drowning in information you didn't ask for, while the one thing you actually need — a simple checklist, a place to write things down, a moment of calm — is the one thing nobody gave you.
Sleep Deprivation
"Is my baby sleeping enough?" Track patterns, log wake times, spot trends. Know what normal actually looks like.
Feeding Anxiety
"How much should they eat? When? Why do they keep waking at night?" Log feeds, ease the worry, see the pattern.
Mental Overload
"Which doctor's appointment is next? When does that growth checkup happen?" Track it all in one place.

Hi — I'm Aapt Dubey.
Father of twins, and the reason this kit exists.
My twins are seven now. But I remember the first months clearly, because everything happened twice, at once, usually at 3am — the feeds, the diapers, the appointments, and the constant question of whether any of it was normal.
We tracked what we could on scraps of paper and half-finished phone notes, and lost most of it by the time anyone asked. What I kept wishing for was something already thought through: a page to fill in, and a short, plain explanation of what the numbers on it actually meant.
So I built it afterwards — first for family and for friends who were expecting. The response that stayed with me came from a few of them, who said they wished they'd had it the first time round. It would have made those months considerably easier.
I'm not a doctor, a midwife, or a lactation consultant, and this kit doesn't pretend otherwise. What I can offer is the version I needed and didn't have: the research already done, the pages already designed, the thinking already finished. So you spend less of the newborn stretch organizing it — and more of it actually with your baby.
Questions about the kit? Email me directly — I answer them myself.
Where the Guidance Comes From
The trackers are blank pages until something tells you what to write on them. Here's what the written guides are built on, and what they deliberately are not.
Built on published public-health guidance
The safe-sleep reference follows the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) safe-sleep basics. The milk-storage tables come from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Breast Milk Storage and Preparation guidance, cited by name on the page it appears on. Where a guide states a rule, that rule is traceable.
Written to be used at 3am, not studied
Every one of the 34 printables pairs a page you fill in with a plain-language guide behind it: what to record, what the pattern usually means, and when it's worth mentioning to your pediatrician. No jargon, no 40-page preamble before the part you need.
What this is not
It is not medical advice, not a diagnostic tool, and not a substitute for your doctor, midwife, health visitor or pediatrician. It does not know your baby. Where a topic is genuinely clinical — mood, feeding volumes, growth — the guides point you back to a professional rather than pretending to answer.
Every Tracker Comes With a Guide. That Changes Everything.
Most baby printables give you a blank table and send you to Google. This kit doesn't. Every single one of the 34 printables has two parts: the printable page you use, and a full written guide behind it explaining the how, the why, and what to do when things don't go to plan.
Typical Printable
Blank tables and empty checklists. You're left to figure out the rest on your own, scrolling through conflicting advice at 2 AM.

Every tracker paired with a comprehensive guide. The feeding tracker comes with a complete newborn feeding guide. The mood check-in comes with postpartum support resources. That's 114 pages of real help.

Moms Who Used This Kit Say...
"This was the first thing I read that actually helped. The feeding tracker alone was worth it — I stopped spiralling about whether he was eating enough because I could see the pattern."
"Bought this as a shower gift for my sister and she cried. She said the mood check-in was the first time someone gave her permission to not be okay. Already bought two more for friends."
"I wish I had this with my first. With my second I printed the meal train and visitor organizer on day three and it changed the entire postpartum experience."
"The guide that comes with each tracker is what sets this apart. I'm not just filling in blanks — I'm learning why the routine matters and what to do when it falls apart."

Both US Letter (8.5 x 11 inches) and A4. The kit comes with two complete folders — one formatted for each size. Nothing gets cut off regardless of where you are.
Yes, absolutely. Once you purchase, you own the files. Print the trackers as many times as you need for as long as you need them.
No. The files are standard PDFs. We recommend Adobe Acrobat Reader (free) for the cleanest output. Print at "Actual Size" or 100% scale for best results.
No. This is a digital download. Nothing physical is shipped. You receive the files instantly after purchase and can print them at home.
Expectant parents in their third trimester, new moms in the first year, and anyone buying a baby shower or new mom gift. It covers the full journey from packing the hospital bag to tracking baby's first birthday milestones.
The guides share general, well-sourced information for planning and learning. They are not medical advice and do not replace your own doctor, midwife, or pediatrician. See the full medical disclaimer.

Yes — it's one of the most popular gift options for baby showers. After purchase, forward the download email to the recipient.
No — these are print-ready PDFs, not editable Canva templates and not fillable forms. You print them and write on them by hand. If you specifically want a template you can retype in Canva or type into on screen, this printable bundle is not that, and we'd rather you know before you buy than ask for a refund after.
It's one of the most common reasons people buy it. Because it's an instant download, you can buy it the night before a shower and forward the download email to the mom-to-be, or print the Hospital Bag Checklist and Our Baby's Story keepsake and tuck them into a card. There's no shipping to wait for and nothing to wrap.
It's built for a first-time mom in the third trimester who doesn't yet know what she'll need to track. That's why every tracker ships with a written guide — a blank newborn checklist assumes you already know what normal looks like. Second- and third-time moms tend to use it differently, printing just the postpartum planner, meal-train organizer and feeding tracker rather than the whole system.
The daily feeding tracker, diaper and sleep log, breastfeeding and pumping log with milk-storage guide, month-by-month milestone tracker, growth and appointments health log, baby clothing size tracker, and a baby budget tracker. Each one includes the written guide explaining what the numbers mean and when a pattern is worth mentioning to your pediatrician.
Yes — a full Starting Solids Kit is included free: a first foods checklist covering 100 foods, an allergen introduction tracker, a food reactions and safety log, a teething guide with tooth tracker, and a daily solids feeding tracker. It works whether you're doing baby-led weaning, purees, or a mix of both.
Free printables are almost always a blank grid. This printable bundle pairs each tracker with a written guide — what to record, what the pattern usually means, and what to do when it stops working. Buying the equivalent individually on Etsy runs past $95; the whole system is $16.99, in both US Letter and A4, yours to reprint forever.
Since this is a digital product with instant access, we don't offer refunds once files have been downloaded — the full refund & delivery policy explains the detail. If you have a problem, reach out first — we'll make it right.
