3rd May, 2010 - Posted by health news - No Comments

Tens of thousands of applications are there to really help us enjoy our iPhones. Without a shadow of a doubt, the iPhone has changed the way that we communicate beyond all recognition.

Indeed, the iPhone is so popular that other competitive manufacturers just cannot keep up and so much of this dominance is undoubtedly to do with the proliferation of applications.

There are applications for almost everything under the sun and you can do amazing things with your iPhone! Here are some great iPhone apps that working mums should not be without.

The Baby Brain is an app for everyone with newcomers. This iPhone app allows you to log and track breast-feeding, diaper changes, sleeping patterns. It’s rather easy to set up and you can just tap the screen when an event starts and ends, as you record according to configured parameters. It even allows you to see which place the baby fed from previously, when you are breast-feeding. The app even has a timer which will alert you when you are breast-feeding; if for example you are working on a project at the same time.

Everyone is working on a budget these days and ShoppingPal allows you to do research on the go, by taking a photograph of any item you may be interested in, adding a few typed in details such as the price or size and saving to memory. Now when you comparison shop you don’t have to rely on your memory or rush back and forth between stores, trying to make up your mind. You know how stressful this can all be if you have kids in tow or have little time to spend anyway as you balance family issues with your work.

Creative minds abound in the world of iPhone application development. Set your iPhone down next to your sleeping baby with the app activated and if the sound goes above a predetermined, adjustable level, your iPhone will call a set number to alert you. Baby Phone Deluxe works great as a baby monitor.

If you are planning a lengthy journey, why not bring along Scribble Lite? This iPhone application allows the kids to paint, sketch or draw in different colours and, just like the Etch-a-Sketch games of the 60s, all you do is shake the phone to erase the masterful creation and start again.

Kindle for iPhone allows you to download full-length books and read when you have time. You don’t have to worry about lugging around textbooks, or those books that you have to “absorb” yourself in for a work project. These apps allow you to pick the work up and put it down whenever you need to, inserting a virtual place-holder wherever you pause.

Isn’t it great how technology can help to make the life of a working mum easier? Consider also specific coaching for women as professional coaching becomes more and more popular. If you have never considered online life coaching before, you will be amazed how it can make you even more productive.
