New parenting resources for the "smartphone era" (Part 2 of 2)

We busy parents of multiples need all the help we can get! In this spirit I present to you the 2nd post in a 2-part update of new parenting resources that take advantage of current technology.

HealthyChildren.org is the official parenting website of the American Academy of Pediatrics. If your child has a mild illness or minor injury, the website's KidsDoc Symptom Checker tool can help you decide what level of care is needed, and how to provide symptom relief for minor issues you can manage on your own. A KidsDoc Symptom Checker app is available for smartphones as well. Remember that no website or app can replace the medical care and advice of your health care provider– always address specific questions about your child’s health with your pediatrician, and in an emergency situation, call 911 immediately. For those situations in which you are unsure if you should call your doctor or not, the Symptom Checker is a useful tool to help you make an appropriate decision for your child.
