To make the baby happy and help them learn new things fast, use your knowledge/skills along with the below best baby apps.
Best apps for newborns and new moms
Immunization tracker
To ensure that your baby doesn’t suffer from polio, hepatitis, typhoid, and other diseases, you should take care of their vaccination. A nursing home will provide an immunization chart to the parents. The chart has information on various vaccines that a doctor should give your child. Use a vaccine reminder app for Android or iPhone if you have a habit of forgetting things or if both of you are busy at jobs. The iTunes and Play Store has plenty of Immunization apps, but none of the renowned health organizations have supported or recommended them. The best way to keep track of vaccines and schedule reminders of the same is by using a to-do list app. I recommend the free Any Do app for this task.

YouTube app for kids
According to research, music soothes your child and promotes their health. When kids hear their favorite songs, they dance joyfully. Music also helps a kid learn numbers, alphabets, and words quickly. As the development of the brain takes place during the age group 0 to 12 years, we should make children listen to educational songs. For example, your kid will be bored if you recite numbers 1 to 10. If you play a number song on YouTube, your baby will love it. He’ll remember the song and numbers within a week. YouTube has a massive collection of educational videos and songs for babies.
