Leave it to Apple to come up with ways to help make parenting easier.
Check out these new Apps for the iPhone.
Walt Disney World Wait Times (Free)
My friends Scott and Jacque just used this one on their recent trip to Disney. They said it was absolutely wonderful!
The Cry Translator
The company claims that after listening to a baby's cry for 10 seconds, the app will light one of 5 icons. Those icons will show whether the baby is hungry, annoyed, bored, sleepy, or in discomfort.
When you have a new baby, and are sleep deprived, I guess you'll take all the help you can get.
WebMD Mobile (Free)
Enables parents to look up symptoms and try to figure out what’s ailing their children. This is a great resource to try and narrow down what is going on, and prepare for a doctor visit if necessary.
Time Out (Free)
Kids’ behavior is unpredictable and there’s no knowing when a time-out may be necessary. When you’re away from the confines of your house and your kids act up, this simple timer on your phone can be used to track a time-out.
Sit or Squat (Free)
I would have absolutely loved this when my kids were younger. It was inevitable that while we were out and about one of them was going to have to go potty. This app helps you find the nearby public restrooms.

This is a must for all sleep deprived new parents!
Allrecipes.com Dinner Spinner (Free)
You know the drill. You look at the clock and realize you have no idea what you will be making for dinner. With this app, you can select a dish type, ingredients, and prep time and ‘spin’ to see what kind of options pop up. Complete with photos and a search function, this is a great tool for on the go parents.
White Noise (Free)
Babies scream, toddlers pout, and parents can often lose their minds. Since the sound of crickets chirping has the same relaxing effect on children as it does on adults, White Noise is perfect for taking things down a notch.
