Readers Respond: Favorite Pregnancy and Baby Applications for the iPhone

Responses: 27

By , About.com Guide

I love my iPhone and the apps for pregnancy and babies are fun to play around with while I'm doing something. I'll also admit to my fair share of game playing while I'm nursing, though I use my iPhone to track how long I'm nursing. What baby and pregnancy apps are you loving? Share Your Apps

Baby Recorder

Don't miss you baby's first words... You can use is app called "Baby Recorder" to record video/audio, edit the records so you keep only the cutest/funniest touching moments for you to remember. It has very cute graphics and posting those recordings to Facebook was never that easy. http://itunes.apple.com/app/baby-recorder/id447990992?mt=8

Baby Help

Awesome app for immediately after birth. Gave my wife and I great advice on what to look for without being overwhelming. Made information really accessible and easy to read, and taught us a few things that we forgot during pre-natal classes.

Cherish

This app has this really neat camera feature that makes fun sounds when you take pictures. This allowed me to take great shots of my baby. Not only that, but it organizes all the photos by each child's age so I can quickly see what my baby looks like as he grew up!

Stork.cc

You have time for all these pregnancy apps while waiting for baby arrival. But when your baby is burn you appear to be short of time (at least I did) and you should better download Stork.cc, an app that announces baby birth, like Stork.cc: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/stork-cc/id406829847?mt=8 before head. With the App you can email as many birth announcements as you want right from hospital!

Baby20 Founder

I wanted to also point out another application for the iPhone. It's called Baby20. Baby 2.0 is a fun way to keep track of your baby-related Activities, thanks to it's intuitive user interface, it will make the recording (and for retrieving the statistical analysis or to identify patterns) of your child's precious information way easier. A brief will enable users to share information across multiple devices and send photos and information on Facebook and Twitter. Web Site: http://baby20.me

Toddler App

I can not believe I am now the mama that uses her iPod as a toy for my tot, but it really works. Plus some of the apps are just the same as interacting with his other toys, but without getting all the pots and pans out of the kitchen cupboards. The Pots and Pans app is a hit with my toddler. It is just a bunch of pots and pans that make noises when you touch or tap the screen. You can shake the phone/ipod too and make a bunch of crash noises. My husband gives it to my son when he is getting his diaper changed.

Predict when baby will really be born

Baby Birthday scientifically estimates when the baby will actually deliver. You enter information about your due date, your prior deliveries, medical history, and doctor's exam, and then the app takes all that information and combines it with the weather trends in your area (which has a small effect) to come up with the most likely date you will have the baby. It also tells you when you can expect the baby (in the next month, the next week, the next day, etc). These numbers changes every day. There is a lot of useful information on the back of each page, too. Really explains what a due date is and why it doesn't tell you much about when the baby will be born!
