Baby Buddy app user feedback

The sun has finally come out in London reflecting the mood in Best Beginnings offices today as we read through the feedback we’ve recently received from Baby Buddy app users.

Thank you to all the Baby Buddy Champions across the UK who promote the app as part of their local provision. Thanks also to our endorsing bodies for supporting our quality assurance framework so that parents across the country have Baby Buddy in their transition to parenthood.

-Shabira Papain, deputy CEO of Best Beginnings

“Hi, First of all THANK YOU SO MUCH for the wonderful job that you did on Baby buddy app, it was really helpful at all levels! Taught me a lot, gave me examples and experiences of others mums, and above all gave me the confidence to carry on this wonderful journey of being a mum. Do you believe that using the app was a daily routine for me like having a shower or brushing my teeth? I’m feeling melancholy for just to know that I’m not having it anymore. So please let me know when the new app is ready. I’m looking forward to it.”

“Your baby buddy app is fantastic!! Cleverly written to make any struggling new mum feel normal! Thank you for helping me through the incredibly dark times after my daughters birth, this app has been on an incredible journey with me and my beautiful growing family!! Please inform me when your next app comes out. Thanks all.”

"Hi there, my baby has just reached 6 months so I’ve had an alert to email you to be contacted when you future app is developed.

I would also like to say how sad I am that the ‘daily updates’ part of the app won’t now continue. I have really really enjoyed my daily updates, advice and support as a first-time mummy I can’t explain how much it has helped and just given that reassurance that it’s normal to feel the way I have or that baby is doing the things he should be.

What an amazing thing you have created.

Thank you!! Lydia"

"Please let me know when your new app is out. You've been truly a godsend in guiding me through my first pregnancy and the first 6 months of my baby boy's life. Thank you ever so much! I cannot thank you enough x

"Thank you so much for the app it has helped me so much on my journey with my little one as a first time mother. Please let me know when you have an app for older babies as I would definitely use it.

Thank you again

"I really liked your BabyBuddy app even though as a 36 year old doctor I don't think I was the intended audience I still found it very useful as a first timer! Please let me know if you do release another app for older children.

Many thanks

Helen"
