If there's one thing I've learnt as a new mum it's that you don't want to spend money and give up precious space in your home to baby gadgets/toys/kit that doesn't serve the purpose of making your life easier.

Baby Tracker App
Age - Newborn +
Price - Free (with in-App purchases for full function of graphs etc)
Category - Nursing, Feeding, Weaning, Nappy Changes, Milestones, Sleeping
Rating - *****
Around day five of being home, when you are harassed and tired and the health visitor pops in to see how you're coping and to weigh the baby - and they ask how the baby is feeding, how many bottles they are having, how many dirty nappies you've had and how much sleep you (and baby) are getting - and when life has all blurred into one big nappy changing/feeding/nursing/sleeping (or not sleeping) mess - there is a certain amount of satisfaction when you can get out your app and show them exactly how long baby has fed, how many mls of bottle they've taken, their sleep pattern etc.
Being able to track all of the above provides reassurance that your baby is beginning to settle into a routine, this app has it all. You can track feed, sleeps, medication, growth - and its all presented in graphic form too.
I found this app was incredibly useful during the first 12 weeks especially but it now serves the purpose as a record keeper for those milestones and growth spurts.
