This month, a great new iPhone app was launched, the Time Poor Dad app by DIYfather.com. The app is free, features eight categories and has a panic button for immediate assistance from the global dad community.
The Categories
✔ Baby care (0-3 months)
✔ Pregnancy
✔ Funny
✔ Sleeping
✔ Health
✔ Special Occassions
✔ Outlook
✔ Stimulation
The pregnancy section is filled with useful information for new dads, like 10 things to do for your pregnant partner and 10 tips for dads during pregnancy. A remarkable tip I read “if your partner hasn’t felt the baby move for several hours, give her a glass of very cold water to drink. The baby should move after a few minutes” (never heard that before, good to know !).
The sleeping section shows interesting tips, like a top 5 of lullabies and 5 things you need to do when your baby is asleep.
The outlook section is a very resourceful section for after birth. I highly recommend reading the Top 10 ways to raise emotionally intelligent kids. It’s very useful, even when your kids are, like mine, beyond the toddler years.
The panic button is such a fun tool, just press it and you can type your urgent problem. While you stay on the page and hit refresh, you can read real time responses from other dads.
