We don’t need to tell you being a mum is no easy job. Not only do we need a PA for ourselves, but probably need one for the PA too!

While we can’t help you on that front, we can offer a hand in the form of these super-useful apps all parents could do with downloading. From locating the nearest changing spot to using your phone as a baby monitor at the click of a button, this list will help you gain a sense of control once more.

Maybe you’ll even remember what day of the week it is…

Total Baby

Need one place to log everything baby related? Then you’ll get along with Total Baby, the app that allows you to track and log every little thing, from baby milestones to feeding times and upcoming doctor check ups. Twins? It has the function to log the progress of multiple children, too.

£3.99, iTunes

Feed Feeder

Yes, in an ideal world we’d feel comfortable feeding our little ones anywhere necessary. But not only do we sometimes not feel comfortable feeding just anywhere, but often it’s purely impractical. If you’re able to breastfeed on a train during the rush with a baby in one arm and toddler in the other, then we salute you! But if not, then use Feed Finder to help you quickly locate a more suitable spot that’s been reviewed and recommended by other mothers.

Free, iTunes and Google Play

NCT Babychange

And the same goes for changing your tiny tot when you’re out and about – never a leisurely task! Make life a little easier with the NCT babychange app that locates your nearest changing facilities, and even helps you get there in a hurry with directions, too. Stinky nappies be gone!

Free, iTunes and Google Play

Baby Monitor 3G

Whether you’re trying to save on pre-birth splurge, or you’re parents constantly on the go, make sure you have this life-saving baby monitor app on your gadgets. Wherever you settle down your little one, keep an eye on them with this Baby Monitor 3G app that turns two phones, tablets or computers into baby monitors and alerts you when they stir and last made a gurgling sound - wifi or no wifi. Pretty nifty!

£2.99, iTunes and Google Play

Lullaby for Babies

For when you’re tot just won’t nod off, turn to Lullaby for Babies, and just play these soothing sounds to calm your baby off to sleep. Pick your tune of choice and set a timer, and leave near the cot to get to work. Great to help your little love settle when you’re away for the night, too.

Free, Google Play
