And I’m not talking about that app that lets your little ones “color” all over your iPhone screen with the touch of their finger. What I am talking about is Baby Brain, a new iPhone app that helps parents of newborns track feedings, diaper changes and even sleep schedules.
You thought light sabers were cool… try having someone - or something - remember the last time you nursed your baby or how long her last stretch of sleep was so you don’t have to. This is a really great option for sleep-deprived parents who have a hard time remembering to shower! Baby Brain, like most iPhone apps, is easy to use; simply tap and track. You can quickly see when your baby’s last bottle was and just how much she ate. Baby Brain keeps logs, which you can easily view even months down the road.
What I love best about this app is it makes those newborn check-ups a lot less stressful for new parents. All the info the doctor needs is literally at your fingertips. You can even email reports to your doctors and caregivers. And get this, it has a breastfeeding timer that runs while you hop online or catch your latest TiVo’d show!
You can purchase the Baby Brain iPhone app for $5 from the iPhone store or directly from iTunes. I’m game for anything that helps keep a new parent sane, and at $5 it’s a sound investment in today’s economy! - Emily H.

Handprint tracings help track baby’s growth
Kids grow up so fast, and it's always nice to be able to look back and see how much they really have grown. Instead of getting a kit or having your baby's hand print put into clay, why not try doing something inexpensive, such as tracing them?
Martha Stewart had a fun idea on her site for making Hand Tracings. This way you can look back and see how much they have changed from month to month.
If you didn't want to trace it, maybe use a washable ink pad to stamp their hand. Or you could even cover it with paint and make a hand print that way. It would be fun to do this with feet too. As kids get older they will have fun looking back and seeing how small they were. - Trisha

Splash protection at baby’s bathtime
Bath time is always a fun time in our house. It is also a very wet time. I usually get splashed several times and have to try to protect myself with a towel - but a towel only protects my lap. My shirt still gets very wet! I should make a bath apron using this tutorial from Martha Stewart.
All you need is a towel and some twill tape to tie it around your neck. You could also use ribbon instead. I think I would add some velcro to the ends, instead of having it tie. It seems like it would be easier to put on and take off in a hurry.
These bath aprons are also great for little babies. If you bathe them in the sink it can get fairly cold fairly quickly. Having the bath apron on you, your body heat will warm it naturally. Then you hold you baby and wrap them up in it and they can be kept nice and warm! - Trisha
