I think, for the mobile version, it'd be a good idea to have a "tap, tap confirmation" system for things like menu options, and getting new babies and shop items. On PC, you can just hover over items to see the descriptions, but you can't quite do that on mobile. Perhaps have it to where you have to tap on an option once and then tap on it again to confirm that that is the option you wish to select.
I introduced my mother to this game after I learned of a mobile version, and this was one of her gripes, and I can see the problem behind it as well.
