Total Baby linkWebMD

Low-grade fevers, coughs, bumps, and bruises...use this free app from WebMD to get to the bottom of your child's symptoms. Although this won't replace a licensed medical professional, it takes some of the guesswork out of common ailments.
Birthday Notification
cost - free
Some of us have a hard time keeping track of our loved ones' birthdays, much less that of our boss, workplace acquaintances, and random distant aunts and uncles. Fortunately, the Birthday Notification mobile phone app not only lets you store all of those dates in one convenient place or upload them from Facebook, it also sends you e-mail reminders. The best part? It's free!
Around Me
cost - free
There are times in your life where you don't feel comfortable or safe stopping, getting out of your car, and asking for directions, especially with a baby in tow. When you're in an unfamiliar area, or just need a little help, the free AroundMe app can be a real lifesaver. You can use its mapping features to pinpoint your location and share it with friends. It's also one of the best apps for moms and dads as they run errands or get their shopping done.
Relax Melodies
cost - free
Sometimes we just need to get away from the stress of our everyday lives. Being a new parent is a hard job, so for those of us who can't drop everything and soak in the sun on a sandy beach, there's Relax Melodies. This free mobile phone app offers your choice of eight calming sounds, including rain, crashing ocean waves, or even soothing music. Relax Melodies also lets you control the order and combination of sounds to your personal liking. What’s more, it even offers music box sounds to help sooth a crying baby.
ReQall
cost - free
Have you ever had a brilliant idea, only to forget it shortly thereafter? Or have you made it through the entire grocery store but somehow managed to forget what you came to buy in the first place? ReQall is a free voice-enabled app that lets you record memos, to-do lists, and grocery lists on your iPhone. Another feature that makes this one of the best apps for moms and dads is that you can also synchronize ReQall with Microsoft Outlook to share your notes with friends or family. ReQall offers both free and paid subscriptions.
White Noise Lite
cost - free
When you have a screaming baby or a cranky toddler, it's hard for parents to keep from screaming and becoming cranky themselves. Sounds like a perfect time for White Noise, the parent-and kid-friendly app that offers a whole library of calming sounds. The free version includes the sounds of rain, the ocean, a crackling fire, and five other soothing sounds. For only 99 cents, you can download the full version, which has an extensive library of 40 additional soothing sounds. A favorite of the best apps for moms and dads.
Baby Monitor & Alarm
cost - $2.99
Baby Alarm will monitor noise in your baby’s room. When a noise is detected, it will notify a phone of your choice so you are informed of what is happening. Mom can also record her voice so that it comes on and soothes her child after it starts crying (you can record anything – the child's favorite song, a song sung by mom... it’s up to you). When the child starts to cry, this recording is played back. Then, if your child goes back to sleep, there will be no alarm and you can enjoy your free time.
With Baby monitor you can find out what is going on during your child's sleep. Is your baby waking frequently during the night?
For both the alarm and monitor functionality, an activity log is recorded. Using the activity log you can discover the sleeping patterns of your child and check if everything is well.
You can personalize everything about Baby Alarm. You can set it up so that it sends an alarm only when your child is crying intensely, or be notified after a certain amount of activity, for example.
Baby Monitor & Alarm linkMilk Monitor
cost - $2.99
This easy-to-navigate iPhone app is perfect for nursing mothers. You can easily track breast and bottle feeding habits, naps, diaper changes, and medicine dosages in a simple format that even a sleep-deprived new mother can use.
Milk Monitor linkBaby Goggles
cost - $1.99
Ever wonder what your baby sees when he or she looks at you? The Baby Goggles app for iPhone is like nothing else out there - it uses an algorithm to distort images, allowing you to see the world through the eyes of your little one, from newborn to 6 months. Use your iPhone to take a picture of yourself, input your little one's age, and prepare to be amazed. For $1.99, this app is a fascinating way to bond with your baby and see what he or she sees in the crib, playpen, or car seat.
Baby Goggles linkDragon Dictation
cost - free
One of the things new parents often learn the hard way is that babies can be quite a handful, even when they're asleep! You have to be ready for anything, and going hands-free is the best way to be sure that you can handle whatever comes your way. Most new parents don’t have the luxury of just dictating their thoughts to a secretary! Fortunately, there's Dragon Diction. Dragon Diction can be used in the car, at the grocery store, or during feedings. This free mobile phone app converts your voice into text, then allows you to send it through e-mail, text message, Facebook, or Twitter with just one click.
Childhood Diseases

The Childhood Diseases mobile phone app is an excellent resource for anyone who needs easily accessible information about common childhood illnesses. You can search for diseases alphabetically by name, or just through keywords. For $4.99, this app is an invaluable tool for parents, grandparents, nannies or babysitters. Choose from categories including: cough, diarrhea, fevers, skin rashes, runny noses, and parasites.
