This guide is for the generic birth gift · not the lullaby or nursery-rhyme poster. If you want to transform a specific family song or lullaby into an illustrated poster, see our personalized nursery rhyme poster instead. Here, we focus on the milestones of the first weeks · the birth itself, the name and its story, the first nights at home, the announcement to the family, the faces leaning over the crib for the first time. These are the milestones parents tell on loop in the month following the birth · they're also the ones they forget fastest. A poster fixes them in place.

The 6 milestones that tell baby's arrival

  • The birth scene · day, time, weight, length

    The factual frame · the full date, the exact time, the weight on the hospital wristband, the length in centimeters. These numbers form the poster's foundation.

    Ideas

    full date, birth time, weight in grams, length in cm, birthplace

  • The name · meaning, who picked it, family history

    A name is never a coincidence · the great-grandmother extended, the novel's hero, the name dreamed of since teenage years. That story deserves its illustrated scene.

    Ideas

    name origin, who picked it, family tribute, meaning, nickname

  • The first weeks at home · the parents-baby trio

    Coming home from the hospital, the first nights, the routines being invented. Parents discovering themselves in this new role · the intimate scene of daily life.

    Ideas

    first bottle, first bath, first walk, skin-to-skin, first cuddle

  • The first visitors · grandparents, aunts, godparents

    Meeting moved grandparents, uncles and aunts, godfathers and godmothers. Family gathering around the crib · the faces that matter.

    Ideas

    grandparents meeting, uncles and aunts, godparents, first family photo

  • The first outing · stroller, park, café

    The very first stroller walk, the first café with baby, the first park visit. The firsts that mark entry into social life.

    Ideas

    first walk, first park, first café, first terrace, first market

  • The first 100 days · smiles, bath, first full night

    Milestones of the first 3 months · first smiles, first laugh, first successful bath, first night with 4 consecutive hours of sleep.

    Ideas

    first smile, first laugh, first long night, first babbling

Practical tips · format, colors, delivery

  • Pick a size that fits a nursery wall · A3 or 30×40 cm stays readable above the crib without overwhelming the rest. Nursery rooms are often small · avoid very large formats.
  • Digital format for grandparents abroad · if the family is scattered, add the digital version · it's sent by email to grandparents who couldn't come and lets them print at home.
  • Giftable format for the baby shower · allow 2 to 3 weeks of production and delivery before the baby shower date · arrives framed if you plan to give it in front of everyone.
  • Soft colors for the nursery · no harsh contrasts · pediatricians recommend avoiding very strong contrasts immediately near the crib in the first months. Prefer a pastel or muted palette · the poster stays readable without straining baby's eyes.

Frequently asked questions

Got questions ?

Everything you need to know about Filo.

That's the whole point of our Validated Preview Guarantee. We send you a digital preview by email. If any detail doesn't sit right (a smile to adjust, a colour to change), we rework the illustration until you go "Wow". Nothing gets printed without your green light.

It's a team effort ! We use creative technology to lay the groundwork of the scene from your photos and stories. Then our graphic designers take over to refine the lines, harmonise the colours and make sure every character truly looks like you. It's the perfect marriage of digital precision and the human eye.

You have the choice ! A high-quality digital version is always available, and different physical formats (poster, canvas, frame…) are offered depending on your delivery country. We partner with several local printing providers to ship as close to you as possible, within the best timeframes. The digital version is included with any physical format, or can be ordered on its own. For any special order, contact us at [email protected].

Don't worry. If your package arrives damaged, send us a photo of the product and packaging within 14 days of delivery. After verification, we'll arrange a replacement or a refund, whichever you prefer.
