Clinical review
Reviewer: Dr Alice Miller, FRNZCGP, Locum GP, Wellington Region
Date of review: February 2021
Comment: The app provides a reliable source of information about what you can expect when your baby is admitted or going to be admitted to a neonatal unit, including real life stories written by other parents. It also provides an opportunity to write and store journals and photos of your baby and share that with your family and friends. Very useful for parents and families of babies admitted to a neonatal unit and health professionals supporting these families or wanting to gain more knowledge in this area.
Currently there is unit-specific information about the neonatal units in Palmerston North, Middlemore Hospital and Counties Manukau, but much of the information provided about these units would also be relevant elsewhere.
Safety concerns: None
New Zealand relevance: Yes, made by New Zealanders for New Zealanders.

Comment: This app is most useful for parents or expecting mothers and fathers. It offers access to a wide range of useful and relevant information regarding the care of a newborn baby, information about the Central DHB's neonatal unit and other interesting features such as learning about others stories.
Safety concerns: None
New Zealand relevance: Very relevant to New Zealand – is based mainly on MidCentral DHB's neonatal unit. Note: Some aspects may not necessarily be the same across all DHBs.
