Baby Brain to the rescue

I remember when my sis had a baby, there were lists everywhere of feeds and times and naps and sleeps and feeds again and back to times, in fact pretty much everything baby related, and she was so tired that I actually think her brain had turned to mush!

Bring in the Baby Brain iPhone app. It basically keeps a log on your iPhone and tracks things such as feeds, nappies and sleep (no, not yours unfortunately), putting your mind at rest as a new mum and also saving you the hassle of scribbling everything down on bits of paper which end up scattered around the house!

It’s a brilliant idea and so easy to use. It answers your questions at the touch of a screen, so if you’re wondering when was the last feed or how much sleep is he/she getting each day or are they eating enough, it has all the information in one convenient place because let’s face it we’re never without our iPhones now are we!

 Leapfrog text and learn  

You can now give your baby geek his/her own PDA instead of letting them slobber on yours or accidentally send messages to someone random in your address book.

It’s suitable for ages 3 and up.
