Apps for Expectant and New Parents
Baby on the way? Congratulations! Such an exciting, expectant, and nerve wracking time, especially if it’s your first. So much to learn, so much information about what to do and not to do. It can be overwhelming. But, while there’s no app for the hard parts, there are plenty of apps that can help you prepare.
Hello Baby app for iPhone is a great way to learn about all of the stages of growth of your baby during pregnancy. It’s full of images and information that can help you understand the magic that is happening in the womb.
There is also the What to Expect apps for both pregnancy and the early years. This trusted series of books has been invaluable for so many of us as we navigate all of the stages of babyhood.
Sprout ($4, iPhone only) is another really helpful app for information and tips on pregnancy, weight tracking, prepping for doctor visits and what to know about all that’s happening to your body right up to timing your contractions.
Baby Bump is another app that not only provides information on your pregnancy but also has a social networking component so you can share your experiences with other moms-to-be.
And if baby is here, how about something to help with nursing, and tracking your newborn’s progress in those critical early weeks and months? WebMD Baby provides many resources and really useful information about sleep, growth, feeding, and milestones to help you through the fraught early days of caring for your child.
I wish these apps were available when my kids were born, especially in the middle of the night when you just didn’t want to call mom, again!

We just love this set because it’s so girly and adorable! The bubblegum pink color of the creeper and tee is perfect for spring and summer. The lace ruffle tee is a pretty and delicate top that goes well with the soft indigo denim jeggings. For a more casual look, pair the the jeggings with the cute giraffe graphic creeper.
