Guide Review - Baby Briefcase
Inside this clear plastic briefcase you'll find 16 folders that are peach, periwinkle and mint green in color. Six folders have prewritten labels for the important stuff like birth certificate info, Social Security Card, etc. and you have nine to customize your baby's case. These are to cover the broad categories and to hold bits of paper that you might be given, including minute slips of paper that include important phone numbers or facts.
There is some real attention to detail that went into this production. For example, a photo slot is perfect. This works well to help you identify which briefcase you have, should you have twins or simply two well-organized siblings. As a baby they may look similar, so I actually found five minutes to be creative and cut out a piece of paper and used stickers to spell out baby's name, again, making for ease of locating the correct case. There is also a pen holder on the side.
Let's face it, you're overwhelmed enough as it is with a new baby, by the time you add the paper work - oh my... This is one handy way to keep everything at least contained within a small area.
