WebMD did a survey that shows new parents want more information to care for their babies so they created WebMD Baby 101, a free mobile app. WebMD Baby content was created exclusively for the app and is personalized for a baby’s specific age, helping to ensure new parents are one step ahead of their baby’s growth and development.
“Babies change rapidly in their first two years of life, challenging new parents to keep up with their baby’s nutrition, health, sleep and development – all of which are essential for a happy and healthy baby and parent,” said Dr. Hansa Bhargava, a pediatrician and WebMD medical editor, pediatrics. “The WebMD Baby App helps keep parents informed with easily accessible baby health and wellness information that they can trust.”
According to WebMD, WebMD Baby 101 provides personalized and pediatrician-approved health and wellness information for baby and toddler to keep new parents one step ahead of their baby’s growth and development, anywhere and anytime and enables more informed pediatrician visits. For babies 0-1, a new health and wellness tip is sent to the app every day, as well as more in-depth content every week. For babies and toddlers ages 1-2, information relevant to their age is sent to the app monthly. WebMD’s tips and information on the app can be easily shared through email, Facebook or Twitter. Information is organized by easy-to -understand topics (feeding and nutrition, growth and development, vaccines) and by the baby’s age, simplifying a parent’s search for trusted answers to immediate baby health and wellness questions.
Baby routine and record keeper that gives parents and caregivers a snapshot of baby’s health and wellness by allowing them to easily record and share baby’s routine (feeds, diaper changes, sleep). A personal growth chart for baby/toddler is also integrated into the app allowing information to be easily added right from the pediatrician’s office.
Baby book feature that allows parents to capture baby’s memorable moments including baby’s “firsts” with videos or photos taken on the spot or pulled from their iPhone library. Baby book memories can be shared with family and friends through email or Facebook as they happen.
The WebMD Baby App is available for free from the App Store on I Phone and I Pod Touch or at Itunes.
Detailed information on the app is available at Web MD.
It seems that the internet mommy bloggers like this website, saying it has something for everyone, including not only baby information, but journaling, tracking capabilities, a built in baby book, and is easy to use. The app comes with 400 articles, 598 tips and 70 videos, which can be overwhelming in material. Getting tips on a weekly and monthly basis is great. For the baby’s first year the app provides a multimedia content package every week for that year, with 365 physician approved daily tips. For the baby’s second year the app provides a content package for each month and 84 physician tips.
