All 51 conversationsNoYesYes
Room for both of you to write your answers, side by sideNoNoYes
Do we need the guide too?

Yes. The notebooks follow the guide chapter for chapter, with open prompts on each of its 51 conversations. Paperback + Notebooks and the Couple Set both include it.

Why two notebooks?

They're sold as a pair, because the whole point is two people answering on their own.

Using it

Why Daisy's Guide?

The hardest things to say out loud are usually the ones you haven't finished thinking through yet.

The companion notebooks give you both somewhere to do that thinking first. They follow the guide chapter for chapter, with open prompts on each of the 51 conversations, covering the things you'd hesitate to bring up cold. The vetoes. The worries. The name you'd be quietly sad to lose.

Then you talk. And the conversation goes differently when you both show up already knowing how you feel, instead of working it out mid-sentence.

How it works
  1. Take a notebook each

  2. Answer the open prompts on your own, chapter by chapter with the guide

  3. Then talk it through together

Hello, I’m Daisy!

I’ve been a pediatrician for more than 20 years, and I’m Medical Director of the Mother-Baby Unit at Oklahoma Children’s Hospital, where families spend their first days with a new baby. I’ve seen which conversations parents wish they’d had sooner.

When my first grandchild was born, my daughter Esha had so many questions. She knew her younger sister would have the same ones someday, so we started writing everything down. That’s how Daisy’s Guide began.

A few of them, in their words:

  • It had the questions we needed to answer, but it wasn’t me prompting the question directly to my husband.

    Nicolette G.
  • The book we didn’t know we needed - until we realized how different some of our answers were!

    Meghan C.
  • Isn’t prescriptive but it urges you to come up with a way that works for you as parents
