User stories

Baby Buddy is your personal baby expert who will guide you through your pregnancy and the first six months of your baby’s life. The app has been designed with parents and professionals to help you give your baby the best start in life and support your health and wellbeing.

See here what mums say about using Baby Buddy:

"Hi there! I would like to thank you for staying by my side during this period your help has been amazing , I was one step closer to fall into depression but with your help I was able to pull through , your daily messages of encouragement and information on how to care for Clessia has made this whole journey worthwhile, I cannot thank you enough... saying goodbye today breaks my heart ❤️️ as I have this app as friend every morning I receive a notification from you guys used to bring me comfort that I am not alone in this ... thank you. Lots of love."

- New mum and Baby Buddy user Elizabeth 2018-2019

Here you can listen to a radio interview on Radio Shropshire in April 2019 with a mum in her third pregnancy, Zoe, using Baby Buddy app:

"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."

- A new mum and Baby Buddy user 2017-2018

"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!!

Thanks all"

- A new mum and Baby Buddy user 2017-2018

"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!!"

- A new mum and Baby Buddy user 2017-2018

“Hi there Just wanted to say, I'm really enjoying this app! I love how personal it all is- like the way our names appear in today's info and how the notifications appear. Especially yesterday when I was having a bad day, and 'well done Beth for being Felix's mummy for 13 weeks now' and 'you're still breastfeeding ! Felix is very lucky' appeared randomly on my phone! It really gave me a boost! Just what us sleep deprived mums need :) So thank you X”

- A new mum and Baby Buddy user 2016-2017

“Don't know how I would have done it without this app. Through pregnancy & the first few months. Definitely hope they bring out an app for older babies as it has been so great. So supportive better than any book or friend. Supplied me with facts & reassured me at times. 6/5 stars from me. Thank you so much to who ever took part in the making of the app. I love it & will/have recommended it to all my friends. Please bring out one for 6 months+ & keep making them as they are great."

- A new mum and Baby Buddy user 2015-2016

“I'm so sad it's over - this app has been with me for a year, it actually felt like a friend! Thank you everyone at Baby Buddy, you've kept me company at some of the loneliest and confusing times and I'll miss this app tremendously."

- A new mum and Baby Buddy user 2016

“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!"

- A new mum and Baby Buddy user 2017

“Hi, I just wanna say thank you for the Baby Buddy app, I've had it since I found out I was pregnant. Its been brilliant and helped me feel so much closer to my little boy when I was pregnant. I'm lost without it now he has turned 6 months."

- A new mum and Baby Buddy user 2018

“I am really enjoying using the videos and finding out more about how to look after my baby. Thanks for all your hard work on producing such a fantastic resource. Keep up the good work!"

- An NHS employee and Baby Buddy user 2019

“I have really loved having my daily updates and found the Baby Buddy app reliable, funny, stress relieving, and a great source of comfort and reassurance!"

- A new mum and Baby Buddy user 2019

“I love the app - it has some fantastic resources and for the most part works really well. I have looked through it a lot and I still find new things to learn every day. I love that it is clear and informative without being hard to understand. I like the friendly informal style which makes it all seem a bit less daunting. I also really appreciate that it doesn't have loads of intrusive adverts... It's a shame it was recommended to me so late in my pregnancy because it would have been so helpful earlier! I am recommending it to other women too."
