Birth Stats Print: Choosing the Perfect Keepsake for Baby
A birth stats print is a personalized keepsake displaying your baby's arrival details—name, date, time, weight, length. These make heartfelt gifts for new parents or lasting nursery decor.
What Is a Birth Stats Print?
A birth stats print transforms your baby's vital arrival information into wall art, a framed keepsake, or tabletop display. Unlike generic nursery decor, each piece is custom-made with your specific details: baby's full name, exact birth date and time, measurements, and often hospital name or a personal message. The result is a one-of-a-kind keepsake that grows meaningful with time—a milestone marker for the nursery or a gift parents treasure for decades.

Why New Parents Love Birth Stats Prints
Birth stats prints fill a real gap in nursery design. Hospital bracelets fade; phone photos get lost. A print is tangible, displayed daily, and tells baby's arrival story at a glance. For new parents, it's a gentle, joyful way to honor the moment—not overly sentimental, just honest documentation of when their child entered the world. Gift-givers love them because they're practical (useful in any decor), personal (impossible to duplicate), and arrive well before the baby does.
Types of Birth Stats Prints to Consider
| Style | Best For | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|
| Paper print (unframed) | Budget-conscious givers, parents who frame at home | Lightweight, affordable, endless frame options |
| Wood print | Modern or rustic nurseries | Durable, warm aesthetic, can become a keepsake |
| Canvas print | Contemporary spaces, layered decor | Gallery-quality feel, easy to hang |
| Engraved keepsake | Long-term keepsake, no wall space | Doubles as a memory box or decorative object |
| Milestone blanket with stats | Newborn photo prop, nursery essential | Functional + decorative, grows with baby |
Who Should Order a Birth Stats Print?
As a Baby Shower Gift: Send it to-be parents a few weeks before the due date. They'll have it ready to personalize and hang immediately after delivery. Browse baby shower gifts to pair it with other essentials.
As a New Baby Gift: Order after the baby arrives (once you have the correct stats). Many gift-givers pair it with newborn gifts like a milestone blanket or soft swaddle.
As a Self-Purchase: First-time parents often order their own once home from the hospital, turning it into an immediate nursery focal point.
As a Grandparent Keepsake: Grandparents love displaying stats from all their grandchildren—each print becomes part of a growing gallery wall. Check our gifts for the new grandparent collection for matching ideas.
What to Check Before You Order
Before hitting submit, verify these details—they shape the final keepsake:
- Baby's full name: Check spelling and capitalization (e.g., is it "Jo-Anna" or "Joanna"?). Personalized prints can't be reordered if misspelled.
- Birth date: Confirm day, month, and year. Double-check if you're ordering early.
- Time of birth: The exact time (e.g., 3:47 PM) adds authenticity. If you don't have it yet, leave it blank or note it will be added later.
- Weight and length: Verify units (pounds/ounces, inches). Round numbers are common; don't guess.
- Hospital name or location: Optional, but confirm spelling if included.
- Preferred style, material, and colors: Look at examples. Does the parent's nursery lean modern, soft, rustic, or playful? Match the aesthetic.
- Frame size: Measure your wall space or consider standard sizes (8x10, 11x14, 12x16 are common). See shipping & returns for dimension details.
- Proof review timeline: Littlest Bundle shows you a proof before printing. Plan 2–5 business days for production, then 2–5 business days US delivery (5–10 for UK/EU). Check our personalization guide for the full workflow.
Design Styles Available
Birth stats prints come in distinct visual languages:
- Minimalist: Clean lines, monochrome or soft pastels. Fits seamlessly into any modern nursery.
- Whimsical: Illustrated borders, playful fonts, pastel backgrounds. Great for gender-neutral or colorful rooms.

- Keepsake boxes: Store hospital bracelets, first onesie, umbilical cord clamp, or lock of hair alongside a framed print.

Frequently asked questions
Can I order a birth stats print before the baby is born?
Yes. Many parents order the print unframed ahead of time, then personalize it with baby's exact stats once they arrive. Littlest Bundle shows you a proof before printing, so you can update any details then.
What if I make a spelling mistake in the order?
Littlest Bundle sends a proof before production begins. If you catch an error at that stage, you can correct it. Once printed, custom orders cannot be reordered. Always double-check names and dates in the proof.
How long does a birth stats print take to arrive?
Production is 2–5 business days, then shipping is 2–5 business days in the US, or 5–10 business days to UK/EU. Plan accordingly if you're giving it for a specific event. See shipping & returns for full details.
Can I add a frame when I order?
Check the product pages at /collections/birth-stat-prints for frame options. Some prints come pre-framed; others arrive unframed so you can choose your own frame at home or later.
What if the nursery doesn't have a specific theme yet?
Choose a neutral style—minimalist black and white, soft pastels, or muted earth tones. These adapt to any decor and won't feel out of place as the room evolves. Browse options at /collections/birth-stat-prints.
Is a birth stats print a good gift if I don't know the baby's name yet?
Absolutely. Order a generic version or note in your message that you'll personalize it once the name is announced. Alternatively, pair it with a baby gift basket or newborn gift and send the print separately after the birth.
