Good health is important for any adult but for a baby it somehow feels even more vital. As any parent with a baby knows, it’s a scary time indeed when a child seems not at their best. Fortunately, popular medical site WebMD has iOS users covered with the release of WebMD Baby.
The app gives users quick access to some great advice from expert sources. Personalized for a baby’s age, there’s timely physician-approved guidance to ensure parents understand and can keep track of everything popular.
In the baby’s first year, there are 52 weekly featured multimedia packages aimed at the baby’s first year plus a daily tip for every day of the year. In the second year, this is brought down to 12 monthly packages and 84 tips.
Alongside such useful advice, there are trackers for growth, diapers, sleep and feeding. There’s even a Baby Book section for the user to capture key memories and milestones via photos or videos.
With 400 articles, 598 tips, 70 videos and these useful tools, WebMD Baby should be indispensable for the new parent.

The app is incredibly simple to set up. One iOS based unit can be placed near the baby’s crib leaving it to capture and stream video and audio while the other device can be kept by the parent so they can check in on things at any point. 
The latest app to help babies enjoy touch based interaction is Baby’s Musical Hands. It’s an app that features 15 brightly colored squares that babies can touch and interact with. Tapping a red square makes a drum sound while yellow plays piano notes and blue squares play a guitar noise. It’s the kind of fun that babies will instantly love, feeling that they can change so much with a simple tap of the screen. Every now and then, a touch produces a rainbow burst of stars also which will no doubt cause a giggle of happiness from any baby trying it out. The overall mixture of audio and visual feedback is bound to cause delight as well as inform babies just how useful interacting with things is.
