Kidlee is like a Twitterfied version of a baby book. It gives you an outlet for storing short (140 characters) posts about your children. Each of your children gets a profile and writing about them is as simple as tapping on their name, typing and then tapping save. Posts accrue in the app and you [...]
Your BFF During Pregnancy (that’s the full name of the app) is a clever little app. Although, I don’t even know if I’d call it an app because you only open it up the first time you use it…let me explain. When you open up Your BFF it will ask you for your name, email [...]
Attention expectant mothers! Today I have an app that will let you use your iPhone to hear your baby’s heartbeat. It works when you are in your 3rd trimester and uses the built in microphone to catch the heartbeat. The beat can then be recorded and shared with others through email. The My Baby’s Beat [...]

It allows you to enter and store information for height, weight and head circumference. Using those numbers the app can also calculate and track your child’s BMI. Growth will then take those measurements and plot them on a [...]
Where was Baby Shusher 18 months ago when my Miss J was a two month old? That was just about the time when we were getting her feeding issues figured out but her Acid Reflux was still atrocious and there was a whole lot of crying going on in our house. From her and me [...]

Aimee Ketchum is a Pediatric Occupational Therapist and a Certified Instructor of Baby’s First Massage. Now Aimee’s Babies is back with BabyStretch, an exercise app for you and your [...]
I’ve been seeing quite a few “baby book” apps lately and I’m quickly realizing that there’s really no excuse for not putting something together for my Miss J. Sure she’ll be two in a few months but better late than never right? Because the iPhone and iPad app developers have been putting out great apps [...]
BabyBaby Steps is an app for tracking and recording your baby’s milestones. It was developed by a mom of four and as a mom of four myself I can tell you that the more children you have the fewer milestones you manage to track. As I was trying out this app I could tell that [...]
A quick blurb about an app that sounds intriguing – BabySeatMate was developed for using the iPhone to measure the angle you’ve installed your baby car seat. Once it has measured the angle it will tell you if you’ve installed the seat correctly or if you need to make some adjustments. The app works with [...]
My 9 year old daughter told me about an iOS 5 feature that I was totally unaware of until last week. Miss S. showed me how to set up individual text tones for my contacts.
iOS 5 Gets Its First Update Thanks to my husband Zack for getting this post out about the new iOS 5.1 release. I’ve yet to install the update…but I’ll be following his instructions below. Shortly after the iPhone 4S hit the market a bug was discovered that severely impacted battery life on those new devices. [...]
