- Find out more about baby care apps.

Having a baby can be one of the most wonderful and fulfilling parts of your life. It can also be one of the most confusing and overwhelming.
There are a variety of apps and online resources to support parents and carers of a newborn baby. Depending on their features, apps can:
- provide education and information about newborn care and development.
- enable the tracking and recording of baby's milestones and immunisations
- help with understanding daily routines such as feeding and sleep tracker apps
- provide information about feeding and nutrition including when to start solid foods.
Before choosing an app, think about how it will benefit you and what you want it to be able to do.
- An app will only be helpful if you use it, so it needs to be something you like using and find easy to use.
- If you find the app difficult to use, or you don't like the imagery or look of it, or the language it uses, you may want to find another one that suits you better.
- For more guidance on how to choose health apps, see how to choose a health app.
- It's important to remember that apps don’t replace advice from your midwife or doctor.
