Intuition App - Mom's Personal Assistant
Superb list! I like to add Intuition tagged as "mom's personal assistant". (www.iconapps.com) It is a free and helpful productivity app that does more than just managing schedules and tasks. It does email reminders, location alerts, list my grocery to-purchase, and helps me reach out to other moms via their community. And the coupons are good deal too!

Baby's Journal
Hi,
I've developed an application that will keep track of your baby, by letting you record how long they feed for and even how much. When they go to the toilet and if it's normal or not. Each section has it's own data display so you can see how your baby is progresssing in each section. Also there is a journal so you can write down your thoughts, feelings and love for your baby.

Milk Monitor
My wife has been using the Milk Monitor App http://www.itunes.com/apps/milkmonitor - It makes tracking breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, sleeping, medication and diapers as simple as possible. One of the best apps I've seen on iPhone - it's so simple you can use it with your eyes closed.

Another iPhone Option
Nursing Tracker stinks. The problem with most the nursing tracker apps, especially if they have a timer, is that you can't use your phone while you nurse. The one I like is Breastfeeing Recorder. I can use my phone while it times.

Nursing App
I wrote a simple nursing app as well. Mine is slightly unique in that it sends notifications X minutes after your last feeding to help maintain a feeding schedule.

Better Nursing App
Hi, I found a better nursing app than the one you mentioned. It's called Nursing Master. It's only been out for a short time. I tried Nursing Tracker, but this new one lets you add a picture of your baby and it shows you a graph to get an overview over time. http://nursing-master.com/iphone
