Choose baby milestone discs by deciding how you will use the set, where you will store it and whether it is for your own first-year photos or a gift. For AtaNova’s set, the main choices are simple: Discs Only or Discs + Wooden Keepsake Box, the language of the milestone wording and any special wording or layout request you want reviewed before engraving.
The AtaNova Baby Milestone Discs — Set of 12 contains one laser-engraved wooden marker for every month from 1 Month through 1 Year. Each disc is made from 3 mm premium birch plywood, measures approximately 10 cm in diameter and is intended for supervised baby photography and keepsake use.
Standard Set or Premium Gift Set?
Choose Discs Only — Standard Set when you already have a clean, dry place to store the discs between monthly photographs. Choose Discs + Wooden Keepsake Box — Premium Gift Set when you want the storage box included with the 12 discs.
Both set options are currently available on the live product page. The wooden keepsake box is included only when the Premium option is selected.
What is included in the set?
The complete milestone sequence contains 12 discs:
- 1 Month
- 2 Months
- 3 Months
- 4 Months
- 5 Months
- 6 Months
- 7 Months
- 8 Months
- 9 Months
- 10 Months
- 11 Months
- 1 Year
The set creates one consistent age marker for every monthly photograph during the first year. After the photo series is complete, the discs can be kept as a compact physical keepsake.
What material and size should you expect?
Each AtaNova disc is made from 3 mm premium birch plywood and measures approximately 10 cm in diameter. The surface has a smooth, lightly sanded natural wood finish and the wording is precision laser engraved directly into the wood.
Birch plywood is a natural material. Colour, grain and visible wood pattern may vary slightly from one set to another. These natural variations do not affect the engraved monthly design.
Wooden discs, cards or stickers?
Wooden milestone discs make sense when the family wants a reusable monthly photo prop that can remain part of the child’s keepsake collection. Paper cards are lighter and flatter but need protection from bending and moisture. Stickers are generally more temporary and are applied directly to clothing or another surface.
If your priority is a coordinated physical set that can be stored after the first year, wooden discs are the more suitable format.
Can you choose the text language or request special wording?
Yes. The milestone wording can be prepared in the language you enter when ordering. You can also use the available fields to request a different milestone sequence, special wording or other layout details.
A digital Design Proof is sent by email before production. Check the language, spelling, wording and layout carefully. You can approve the proof or request a small adjustment before production begins.
Who are milestone discs most useful for?
- Expecting parents who want the set ready before the first monthly photograph.
- New parents who plan to create one recurring first-year photo routine.
- Baby-shower and newborn gift buyers looking for a gift with a clear use throughout the first year.
- Grandparents, godparents, relatives and friends who want to give a keepsake that supports a repeated family tradition.
If the family is unlikely to take monthly photographs, another type of keepsake may be a better fit. For a wider comparison of memory boxes, milestone discs, lamps and nursery pieces, see Personalised Baby and Children’s Keepsakes: A Complete Guide.
How should the discs be used safely?
Baby Milestone Discs are decorative photo props and keepsakes. They are not toys or teethers.
- Always supervise the baby during every photo session.
- Place the disc beside the baby rather than in the baby’s hands or mouth.
- Do not allow the baby to chew, bite, suck or play with the discs.
- Remove the disc as soon as the photograph is complete.
- Do not use a damaged disc with cracks, splintering or sharp edges.
- Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and do not soak the wood or place it in a dishwasher.
- Store the set in a clean, dry place away from excessive heat, moisture and humidity.
