HOW TO

Share your baby’s cutest milestones

Add text and stickers to celebrate your growing family.

As a parent, you want to document everything from your child’s first giggle to their debut dance moves. But while snapping photos is easy, creating something special to share with friends or consign to the family albums can feel like an impossible task – especially when you’re busy changing nappies.

With gorgeous templates and thousands of graphics and stickers, these apps simplify the process, making life easier for new parents who want to quickly compose the perfect picture of their progeny.

Little Nugget

Little Nugget has great filters, so you can edit your photos without leaving the app.

Creating the type of monthly milestone posts you see all over your social feeds looks like it would take an age. Not so when you edit and enhance your favourite photos with Little Nugget’s 1,600-plus hand-illustrated images and phrases.

All images are privately stored in the app, though you may also choose to save them to your Camera Roll, message them to friends, or post them to the social network of your choice. Want to bring your digital shots into the physical realm? You can also order prints and photo books to send to loved ones as gifts.

Over

Over’s collection of cute stickers and fonts answers the question “How old were you in this picture?”

Solving a variety of graphic-design challenges, Over’s streamlined tools and simple templates will help capture your child’s development – and also let you create announcements, invitations, social posts and much more for your life outside parenthood. (That does still exist, right?)

Tinybeans

Keep special moments private with a Tinybeans journal.

It can be difficult for new parents to decide whether or not you want to post images of your child online. For those who want to send baby updates to close friends and family, but not the entire internet, Tinybeans lets you create a shared journal.

With simple editing tools and adorable stickers, the app also offers helpful calendars and albums to better keep track of those special snaps.
