Philips Avent’s award-winning pregnancy app delivers a new baby
The biggest global pregnancy app, Pregnancy+ by Philips Avent, launches Baby+, a free app for new parents
Sydney, Australia – Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA) a leader in health technology, and Philips Avent have announced the launch of Baby+, following on from the success of the award-winning1 Pregnancy+ app. This renewed parenting app helps to track a newborn’s development for the first two years and includes a range of features and trackers. It offers expert information based on the baby’s development stage, giving new parents the confidence to enjoy the journey. Philips Avent is passionate about providing new parents with relevant and reliable information, helping to track baby’s development and offer reassurance.
From the first magical moment a parent says “hello” to their little one, to the first smile and joyful steps, being a parent is extraordinary. However, there are also challenging moments where it’s hard to make sense of it all. While previous generations may have depended on grandparents for advice, nowadays, it is easy to become overwhelmed by the amount of information available on the internet and social media.
We understand that parents know their baby better than anyone. While their instincts are often correct, they prefer to make informed decisions about their baby’s care, for that reason, we developed the Philips Avent Baby+ app. The app offers parents relevant information and the opportunity to track their baby’s development, so they feel supported during this amazing journey.
