Growing – a comprehensive mobile app for parents of children zero to three now available

Finding information in a language you understand when you have a young child is not an easy task – information can be outdated, biased or being used to sell you a product or service without providing you any value or information. Many mobile apps are designed as tools to collect users’ personal data, without their best interests in mind.

Enter Growing – a new mobile app for parents, by parents, developed and written as a collaboration between leading parents’ advocacy and education groups and psychologists, doulas, breastfeeding, babywearing and car seat experts, funded through a grant by the Erasmus+ program of the European Union. Public funding means it has no ads, no dubious data collection, no data sharing, no commercial interests. For parents, by parents.

This first version of Growing is available in six languages (English, Croatian, Czech, Slovene, Hungarian and Spanish), and over just the first few weeks the reviews have shown that the topics and information the app provides really resonates with parents.

They app provides parents new information week by week, tailored to their baby’s age. Some of the topics the app covers include:

• Women’s health postpartum, because mum’s health is as important to baby’s
• Breastfeeding and nutrition, especially during the first weeks and when introducing solids
• Information on parents’ rights and benefits
• Parenting support and information about family dynamics, including on how to deal with challenges
• Information tailored to dads
• Information and support on work-life balance
