Today, smartphone and tablet app developers offer a ton of useful programs for parents. They, of course, will not turn you into ideal dads and moms, but they can give good advice at the right time and make your life a little easier and more convenient!

We have selected the most popular and useful, in our opinion, mobile applications that should be in the arsenal of modern parents.

Child diaries

Such applications help new parents to combine all the information in one place. This is very convenient, because previously all the data had to be written down in a notebook, stored in the form of notes or applied to the clinic for a medical record.

"BABY-GUIDE" - a new mobile application that is an interactive story of your child's development. Here you can:

• Save all information about the health and development of the baby - blood group, previous diseases and operations, diagnosed and ongoing treatment, compulsory medical insurance policy number, etc.
• Make an individual schedule of vaccinations in accordance with the date of birth of the child.
• Monitor the growth and weight of the baby, automatically calculate the body mass index, and also compare these data with the indicators recommended by the WHO.
• Celebrating the key moments of child development - the first tooth, the first steps, the first word. And then share this data with family and friends.
• Make a list of questions to ask your pediatrician at your next appointment.

At the beginning of using the application, you need to enter information about your child. After that, the program will convert all the necessary information that can be sent to the nanny, teacher or doctor.

There are also many other mobile applications that perform similar functions. The most popular of them are "I was born", "Diary of a baby and mom", "My child", "BabyCare - a diary of a baby!", "Baby Connect".

To help a young mother

This group of mobile applications includes those designed to help a modern young mother.

"Breast-feeding" - a program for nursing mothers that allows you to:

• Record what breast you fed the baby the last time;
• Remember the time and duration of feedings;
• Consider supplementary feeding with a mixture (with mixed feeding);
• Monitor your baby's nutrition throughout the day, week, month using summary reports.

Lullabies for Babies, Sounds for Babies and other collections of soothing melodies and lullabies for your baby. Now you no longer need to soothe your baby for a long time and sing many lullabies. Just put your mobile next to it, and you will not notice who will fall asleep faster - you or your baby! The programs also have a timer.

These mother's helpers include all kinds of "baby timers" that record important aspects of the baby's life, applications from the Call series! Mum, which allow the baby to quickly call relatives, simply by tapping the icon on the screen, and other useful mobile things.

Collections and reference books for parents

This category includes all those programs that are various collections and reference books for parents.

"Mom's book" is a popular mobile guide in which a young mother can find all the information about newborns and babies. Here are collected practical tips for caring for a baby: toilet, swaddling, bathing, etc.

Also in the application there are recommended indicators of child development by months, a calendar of vaccinations, a list of funds for a children's first-aid kit. And in the section "Analyzes and decoding" there is information about the norms and deviations of blood, urine and stool tests, as well as tips for collecting them.

"Dr. Pope's 100 Tips" - this application contains 100 practical tips for parents from a pediatrician and psychologist Alexander Vladimirovich Kuznetsov. On the web, he is better known as Doctor Dad. Each tip has a link to a more detailed article. You can use the filter to select the tips category you want, and then add your favorite articles to your favorites.

"Pocket Doctor" and similar mobile directories are very useful to have at hand. They may be needed at any time to help both adults and children. They contain a list of actions that need to be taken before the arrival of an ambulance in case of injury or illness. You will find how to deal with fainting, bleeding, poisoning, fever, animal and insect bites, various burns, high blood pressure, etc.

"First Aid Kit", "First Aid Kit Online", reference books "Mobile Doctor" and "My First Aid Kit" - no less useful programs, which are drug reference books. Internet access is not required, so you can study information about a particular drug at any convenient place.

However, it is important to understand that the information in the applications is for information only and a doctor's consultation is required before using the medicine!

So, now the matter is small: all that remains is to select the programs you need and download them to your phone or tablet. Rest assured that many of them will greatly simplify your life and help in some cases save time and money.
