Need to know when it's time to check on and settle your baby?
Well don't worry, there's an app for that!

• Checklist (Nappies, wind etc) that must be completed before the app can start.
• Alarm* that sounds when a wait period has completed and it's time to settle the baby.
• Automatic doubling of the wait period after each settle.
• Ability to select any of the the preset wait periods after each settle.
• History kept of the time taken to get baby to sleep.
• Customize app with baby's name and sex.

Disgusted yet?

Me too. I can't imagine leaving my baby to cry until some stupid app told me it was time to check on him/her.
I couldn't imagine leaving my infant to cry period.

And i'm not the only one:

Woman, Uncensored: Neglect-o-Matic:

"Apparently CIO isn't ridiculous enough, now cheap technology can tell you whether it's time to parent your child or not. 'No sweetie, ignore the sounds of Susie vomiting from distress... my phone hasn't beeped at me yet' Maybe they'll add features that let us know when we're allowed to feed our kids as well. Little alarms can go off if we've given them too many hugs and kisses or *god forbid* held them too long! Brilliant. Evidently we're not smart enough to actually pay attention to our offspring and our instincts, eh? Save yourself a few bucks and love your kid. If you expected a full night's sleep, you should have gotten a plant."

I couldn't have said it better.
