WebMD Baby App: an iPhone Baby Book.

I discovered the absolute coolest app for the iPhone – WebMD Baby. You’d think it would be a symptom checker like their regular app sending new moms into a hypochondriac frenzy, but it’s not. It is a tracker of everything for baby – feedings, growth chart, firsts, photos, and sleep. And it’s all organized in… read more »

I have a lot going on and combined with Mommy Brain (it is a very real syndrome), I need serious help staying organized (not forgetting to do things).  For me, Mommy Brain is short term memory loss.  I will set off to do something, get distracted (like trying to pry something from my toddler’s hands),… read more »
