Babies love looking at photos of their loved ones - but they're not so good with paper pages. A soft photo album for baby is the answer! These come with a fabric cover and clear plastic sections where you can slide photos in.

Baby's My First Photo Album of Family & Friends
- Price: $16.99
- Size of photos it holds: 4x6
- Number of photos it holds: 15
This soft photo album for toddlers holds quite a lot of pictures! It's a great infant development tool as babies can look through the photos of their family members. It's also really durable since it's made out of vinyl.
The photos are not easy to take out, so you don't have to worry about a baby or toddler removing the pictures as they are looking through them. In fact, the plastic sleeves are so sticky, it can be difficult for even an adult to get them out.
If you place the photos in front and back, you can get at least 15 photos in your book!
Amerteer Photo Album
- Price: $16.89
- Size of photos it holds: 4x6
- Number of photos it holds: 17
This soft baby photo book is perfect for small hands because of the cloth material and soft edges. It comes with a small mirror on the last page which we love. After looking through pictures of family, then they can see a reflection of themselves!
The pages of the photo album feature bright colors and animal patterns so they are more exciting than just a standard photo album. It's a cute, fun book for your baby to look through!
My Family Soft Photo Book
- Price: $16.99
- Size of photos it holds: 4x6
- Number of photos it holds: 6
This soft, plush baby photo album has clear vinyl slots for 4x6 photos. The cover has cute lettering that says "My Family" and each page has a bright, colorful pattern. The soft fabric makes the book super durable and safe for your baby! You can also easily clean the clear windows for the photos with a damp cloth.
Custom Printed Soft Baby Book
- Price: $48.18
- Size of photos it holds:
- Number of photos it holds: 10
This soft baby photo book is made of polyester and felt, and it's a bit different than the other options on this list.
First of all, it doesn't have clear slots. Instead, this is a customized book where you send in your photos and they print the photos right on the soft cloth. It's so clever!
You can put one photo, one collage, or one text caption on each page.
They are washable and are printed with non-toxic ink so you don't have to worry about your baby chewing on them.
This listing is for the medium-sized album with 10 pages, but you can also get small (with 6 photos), large (14 photos), or extra-large (18 photos). It takes a couple of weeks to make after you send in your photos, so plan accordingly if this is a gift.
When you order, just email them your favorite family photos in either color or black and white (or a mixture). If you prefer, you can have collages instead of single photos or a combination of the two throughout your book. There is a note that the photos will darken slightly during printing so make sure you choose bright photos.
Add a name for your cover and now you have a beautiful soft photo album!

This Etsy shop has tons of cute customized soft photo books for babies. They have one for Mom, Dad, baby, and the whole family.
In this soft photo album for baby, the pictures are printed directly on the page. Once you place your order, you'll be given a link where you can upload your photos. The creator will contact you with any issues, like if your photo isn't a high enough resolution to look good when printed.
The creator does ask that photos have four or less people in them, since they turn out better.
You'll be sent a proof of the book to confirm before the book is printed and sent to you. Production takes a few weeks, so give yourself ample time if you're ordering it for a gift or need it by a certain date.
If your baby tends to get into things and you're worried about them pulling photos out of sleeves, this book solves that problem!

If you don't even have notes on whether they have BPA and PVC - which destroy the photos and are bad for baby's health and environment, you shouldn't write a baby blog please. You have power to direct consumers and hence manufacturers if you are on google searches. Please research if each of these have PVC and add to this blog to add value. Thanks.
