I could easily write a book about the goof-ups I did as a new mom! In spite of my mom helping me handle the baby, there were some hilarious mishaps I had done, that were to be rectified by mommy dearest, the minute she entered back to the room! From waking up a sleeping infant, to forgetting to change the diapers for a longer stretch, I had done them all! When I moved in back to my house, with none for help, except my husband, I knew the initial days were going to be tough.
Papa would happily play with his little princess, for hours together, while I got myself some well-deserved break in the kitchen and the bed! But once I came back, I would sense her diapers were wet and would glare at the husband for not reporting the incident! His constant reaction would be, “But, I didn’t know” or “She didn’t cry”! Also, I noted that the dad-daughter combo was lost in their own world of fun and toys and cell-phone magic! That’s when it struck me that for longer guilt-free hours away from the baby and at the same time ensuring that Dad does what is required with the world of diapers, I had to do this! I downloaded a set of apps that is sure to make any mom’s life better and a dad’s life more responsible! Diapering apps- heard of them?! I did- and here they are:
1. Baby Tracker
Consider this app a mini-you! It keeps a track of your baby’s nursing schedule, the pees and poops and the much-dreaded sleep schedule! Also, the stats and reports are documented in an easy reference manner, to help you shoot out all the details to your paediatrician. Â The app that is a hot favourite among all parents today!

4. Diaper Alert
Okay, this app takes the whole diaper story to a new level. It is the best example of how technology has made complete inroads into our lives! Diaper Alert is a small, reusable sensor you can attach to the front of your child’s diaper that sends an alert to your smart phone to tell you it’s time to change the diaper! This app is relatively new to the product and with high-end Bluetooth connectivity and sensors, we need to wait and watch if parents are indeed happy using this app!Download here
5.Eat Sleep
With the number of tracking apps available in the market, this one stands out as being helped in design by a first-time working mom. So, extra and unnecessary features are cut out making it to the point and simple. Sleep, eat and potty schedules are noted and logged with a single tap. The reports for a period of time can be monitored and trends noted. The Eat feature is also broken down to breastmilk or formula and the ounces the baby has consumed in each can be logged for future reference. Download here
