Free baby app available to support parents in Walsall

Tuesday, 30 January 2024 17:36

Parents and carers in Walsall are encouraged to download free Baby Buddy app to support them with all things parenting.

The app even has an extra feature for parents in Walsall.

Designed to support mums, dads, and carers, the app helps parents build their confidence and parenting knowledge from conception up to a child’s first birthday.

Baby Buddy is a hub of information and can help you with things such as feeding, talk and play, mental health, and local services near to you.

Baby Buddy is trusted and endorsed by health professionals, including the Royal College of Midwives.

Councillor Stacie Elson, Portfolio Holder for Children’s Services at Walsall Council, said, “Baby Buddy is an award-winning app for a reason, and can support new parents with all the information they may need when starting parenthood.

“I want to tell all parents in the borough who are starting their parenting journey, or may just want to refresh their knowledge, that Baby Buddy is there to support you from the comfort of your own phone or smart device.

“The app has a local services directory for people in the borough to access help closest to them.

“So, help us spread the word! Tell a friend, family member or neighbour about Baby Buddy and what it can offer to parents, to help give our children the best possible start in life.”

You can download the Baby Buddy app for free on the App Store or Google Play Store.
