iPhone apps for babies

[nylonmeals]

I swear by the free TMS White Noise app on the iPhone - it literally puts my little one to sleep in minutes.

I know that there is a Mumsnet app which launched last week http://itunes.apple.com/app/babies-the-mumsnet-guide/id406970322?mt=8 but wondered if people had found any other apps that kept babies amused etc. Sure that there must be good ones with patterns, sounds and music etc.

Of course there is always the issue of baby trying to eat the iPhone rather than look at it but I live in hope!

My daughter (nearly 2 also) loves talking tom, drawing den, nature appy, chuggington, toddler flashcards. Loads more but cant think off top of my head, shes using it right now!!

I've been wondering about these, but had assumed my toddler would wreck my iPhone - does that not happen though? Love the idea of something portable I can use to entertain him on long journeys and waiting for doc's appts ..

I have a rubber outer covering for mine. So far so good, it's even been dropped a few times. Better run off and touch wood now...

[snowboarder]

Mine just constantly presses the button below the screen so any game is cancelled....

Mine used to do that snowboarder until she learnt that meant no more game. She still does to some extent though if she's in a particularly short attention mood when she will request one game ('numbers mummy!') then 10 seconds later say 'no, cows!' I've also had to accept that sometimes she deletes apps accidentally by getting into wiggle mode but luckily have generally been backed up.

anna_r exactly the same here! She will press middle button then become fascinated with trying to make a call or send a text. At this point I politely confiscate my "ice-phone"
