Used to be brilliant but hate the new money grabbing version

Version 10.4
I had my first child in 2019 and this app was recommended to me by so many. I genuinely thought it was brilliant. I didn’t mind the small few to buy the app and enjoyed it so much I purchased the book and audio book through the app as well (huge mistake). Gradually throughout my daughter’s first year the info on the app became leaner and leaner pushing users to a subscription based service, it didn’t matter to me too much as I had the book and was happy with that. I couldn’t use the app to track my daughter’s changes because that was only accessible to subscribers, but at least the info was available through the book.
However I’m now expecting my second child, I just logged in to take a look. I wanted to re-read the first chapter of the book to remind myself of those first weeks but I couldn’t. Despite having previously paid for the book (no mention of a time limit or anything like that, at the time it was an outright purchase) it can now only be accessed through a subscription model. I’m so cross if I’d have known I’d have bought it through Amazon instead of the app. I have tried to “restore purchases” but that made no difference. Fine if wonder weeks want to change their business model again, but it’s not right to remove a resource someone has already paid for. I won’t use this app with my second. If I can find a second hand copy of the book somewhere I’ll buy it because it is a nice resource, but wonderweeks will not get another penny of my money. This platform has gone to being a wonderful resource for new parents to a big science experiment far more interested in obtaining mass data on child development for their own research than supporting parents.

Version 10.4
Heard a lot of people talking about the wonder weeks and was even recommended it by my midwife, so I bought it to help better understand my babies development. Unfortunately my baby just didn’t follow the leaps at all! I’m guessing because every baby is different some won’t follow the leaps but I just don’t think it’s worth the money at all.
It’s hard to navigate and understand what’s happening, the signals are very vague and apply to every leap. I don’t know why there is charge for this app?? There isn’t any advice offered on how to cope with different milestones etc
It was interesting to understand what she could be learning but since my baby didn’t follow to leaps it didn’t apply to us.
Hopefully it works for other people.
Good until Leap 4

Version 10.4
From Leap 5 onwards the predictions are completely ridiculous and unrealistic. I’m a Speech and Language Therapist and in no way would I expect a 5 month old to understand prepositional concepts like in/on/under and to start saying protowords such as ‘ah choo’ for sneezing etc. Leap 5 also indicates that my little one is likely to be emptying cupboard and looking under rugs and in just a few weeks time in leap 6 asking for a song to be sung and entertaining a smaller baby! My baby is on track in her development and is only now starting to learn sitting up. What a load of....
Why not just continue with the realistic expectations?? Quite poor for a paid app having a lifespan of 4 months until rendered useless.

Version 10.4
My baby was born just over 3 weeks early so I had to input his due date rather than birth date. So far none of the leaps have matched him, he is way ahead of when it says he will have the leap as it’s counting him as 3 weeks behind. I don’t think the app should presume that just because he was born early that his development will be slower.
A load of rubbish

2021-03-28
Version 10.4
Maybe it’s because I did not download it as soon as my baby was born so I missed the first 4 leaps, but since I’ve had this app I find it fairly pointless and generally it does not correspond to my child’s moods/behaviours so it is not even reassuring... Every leap appears to have the same signs and skills and no insight whatsoever in what may be going on in between leaps. I would be disappointed if it had been for free. I’ll keep it and continue to check it in the hope it may improve but thus far a waste of money (albeit a small amount). If I’m not using this right, I’d be happy to stand corrected as many mums rave about it...
Unrealistic expectations

Version 10.4
Saying words at 6 months old? Seriously? This app is causing a lot of confusion and anxiety in the new parent world as it says ridiculous things like “you say your first words in the right context” at 6 months. It’s also very widely used hence people think it’s accurate, but it’s not. Also the leaps never come anywhere near when the app says, I’ve confirmed both these points with other parents too.
Hasn’t helped.

Version 10.4
I’ve followed the “leaps”, 8 months later and I when my baby is in a leap and therefore potentially unhappy or finding things hard, she isn’t. The wording is very strange during a leap. E.g “You are crying more often” do you mean the baby is crying more often?! Out of the 8 months when my little one is having a hard time it’s nothing to do with changes/leaps. It’s, teething, over tired, hungry or bored. I would love a refund if possible, it has been an incredible waste of time.

Version 10.4
Lots of people recommend this so you can explain why your baby is unsettled... but really, it’s because you’ve seen they might be, so that’s how you rationalise it. I purposefully only check it when my baby is particularly unsettled and it never aligns. The fact they say things like “your baby may sleep more OR less” (duh) and “your baby may feed more OR less”. I mean please. 2 stars rather than 1 because some of the info is interesting (but doesn’t align with my baby, who does some stuff WEEKS before they mention it)
What a load of bull.

This app basically just says the same thing with every “leap” just in a slightly different way.
The bullet points you choose for what your baby is experiencing make little to no sense. How could my 5 month old be emptying kitchen cupboards?

This app is stupid. Of course it can’t predict a baby’s behaviour, all babies are different. It has never been right for us and we’ve had it for months and months. Don’t bother with this, just follow your babies cues and you’ll do just fine.

Version 10.3
I barely use this app. I used to think the leaps might correspond with my son’s development but the more he’s progressed the less clear that is to me.
Also - functionality... has something changed? I used to understand when he was meant to be in a leap. Now I’m just not sure... one page tells me he’s not. Another says he’s in the ‘magical leap’. But on the list of leaps there is no such thing... and no leap listed for his his age. Clarity over whether you’re in a leap or not seems like a basic requirement for this app.
Altogether not a great user experience and not very useful

I purchased this app in 2019, paying the full price that was asked. That included the purchase of the ebook. Since then, the app has changed and I can no longer access the ebook, as I am asked to pay a monthly subscription.
I will be looking into costumers legal advice. But I do not recommend getting this app, as they seem to change their minds often and don’t offer the services you have paid for.
Also they don’t bother replaying the emails.
DO NOT GET THIS APP
I contacted your technical support several weeks ago and no one has helped me. I only get a very vague response after sending 3 or 4 emails.
I purchased your app and I cannot access what I bought.

This app is very hard to understand and when I finally got my head around it, it didn’t make sense. It was asking question that was from my babies point of view and I was supposed to be answering for my baby. on the days that it said that my baby should be not going through a “leap” he was the complete opposite of what was described. No information or only very little on how to help with these stages of their lives. I would like a refund for the purchase.

Version 10.3
Downloaded Wonder weeks after reviews from friends and it worked great, could easily check when leaps began and would end and view changes which may occur to my baby.
Since version 10 has been launched the app is awful to use, once easily accessible information is buried behind pointless clicks with new features added which are poor imitations of other apps.
Avoid.

Version 10.3
Used this app for my first child and loved it so am using it again for my second who’s now 8 months old. The new user face is terrible, difficult to navigate and takes away from the overall point of the app. Why change what was working? Most importantly please add the counter back to the main screen where it’s easy to see at first glance; as can be seen on previous comments this is a popular feature that people are missing with the new updates - listen to your users and please make the app more user friendly.

Version 10.3
Personally I didn’t find that my baby’s development followed the leaps described in the app. It’s interesting to tick off the milestones such as when your baby makes consonant sounds etc but there is no scientific basis for the claims that all babies go through these leaps at the same time.
Extract from a 2018 guardian article by Oliver Burkeman:
The Wonder Weeks, a popular book by the Dutch husband-and-wife child development experts Frans Plooij and Hetty van de Rijt, insists upon the existence of 10 predictable “magic leaps forward” in your baby’s neurological development, heralded in each case by bouts of fussiness, raising the prospect that you might be able to tick them off like milestones in a home-renovation project. For example: at 46 weeks old, the authors declare, you can expect your baby to start to understand sequences, such as the steps involved in fitting one object into another. (Typically for the genre, The Wonder Weeks tries to reassure readers these stages will unfold naturally, while strongly hinting there are specific things parents must do to make them go well.) But it’s not wholly astonishing to learn, from Dutch press reports, that when one of Plooij’s PhD students sought experimental evidence for these leaps, she found none, and Plooij tried to block the publication of her results, triggering a controversy that saw him dismissed from his university post.

I have found the app accurate for my wee one but the additional features for tracking her sleep etc is relatively useless as it’s only usable by one parent. If you could share the child’s profile to all family members it would allow us to use the app properly. As it is you loose two starts for it’s limited usefulness out with the leap chart.
Utter nonsense

Version 10.3
Someone recommended this app to me and in my sleepy 3am breastfeeding state I bought it. It’s utter garbage. No scientific fact, just random weeks they call leaps. My baby didn’t follow these leaps at all, and whatmore it doesn’t tell you anything useful such as things to look out for or what to do- it just lets you document your babies behaviour at various times and tells you when your baby might have a “difficult week” and when they could be the “sunshine of the house”. I can’t believe I paid £3.99 for this, the creators must be sat laughing at what saps we all are buying this when so sleep deprived. Shame on them.
Amazing service!

I never leave reviews but this one was necessary after dealing with an issue in the app. I contacted the support team as my subscription hadn’t been added to my app, so there’s me convinced I’ve wasted money because it’s an app and they’ll never get back to me. Within 24 hours they had responded and told me an update as the app had a bug which needed solving which would be fixed with the next update, and within 24 hours after that, the update was released and the issue was fixed!
Not only is the support team incredibly helpful, the app itself and its content is amazing for tracking and explaining your baby’s behaviour and their development.

I had this app for my first son and now using it for my daughter. Just incredible how accurate it is and how helpful it has been for us as parents. My only complaint about the update is that I had bought the ebook and that seems to have been removed with the update. If anyone from the app development could get in touch Incase I’m doing something wrong. But this feature is no longer there. I don’t really want to pay twice for the ebook feature.

Please bring that back and I will give more stars. Thanks.

What an amazing app!! It just helps you learn so much about your babies development and helps you to understand what they are going through mentally. I love the leap countdowns and it’s so handy to know when your baby is close to/in a leap, just makes everything seem so much clearer! Definitely helped my sanity - this app is a lifesaver!

Version 9.2.2
Was recommended this app by a friend and honestly it is not worth the money I paid for it. Sure it gives some insights (the same ones for the duration of a leap which can be over a month), but so far it has not yet been right once about stormy or sunny days in the 6 months of my baby’s life. Every baby is different, I’m well aware, but even a broken clock is right twice a day. I was also under the false impression some chapters from the book would be included which they are for an additional fee. With the limited amount of information given for the initial cost of the app, confusing interface, lack of ability to chat with other parents also using the app (in lockdown this would be a game changer for some of us) I wish I would have given this a miss. It’s £3.99 misspent.
Interesting, but not sure it’s worth it

Version 9.2.1
I love the idea of this app, and if it were properly implemented I’d probably be happier with having paid for it. However at it’s quite buggy / got quite a few errors so far and we’re only at 13 weeks. For example, the checklists for the first two leaps are linked (tick an item on one and the item on the other list is magically ticked as well) and I don’t think they’re meant to be (the others aren’t). I’m at 13 weeks about to go into leap 4 and on the homepage it’s telling me what I'm likely to be noticing at 10 weeks. The whole thing needs a big proofread and check through. Sadly not worth paying for in my opinion until they do.
Very good app

Hi, I used this up for my son who is now 3y9m old. This all really helped us a lot during his development. I would like to use it for my baby girl who is due anytime now, but unfortunately, I can’t change any settings I’ve done 4 years ago. I also tried to reinstall the app, but I can’t as it is already on my phone. Could you please advise how I can add the second baby on this app? Or how can I delete the first child and add the second one please? Other than that, the app is very useful and gives a lot of information about your child’s developement.

When I had my son 5 years ago the wonder weeks app was amazing. Unfortunately it has gone downhill. The leap chart is not nearly as clear as it used to be and the info seems all over the place. They have added in things like a checklist of baby’s behaviour to tick off and some videos but I would much prefer to lose these and go back to the older, simpler, but much clearer version.

I never really thought it was possible to predict a baby’s fussy period but a friend told me to download this app and I swear it’s helped me so much, not that you can change the “leaps” or behaviour but knowing why and seeing there’s a reason is a relief, also being able to know when the sleepless nights are about to hit and gearing yourself up for it 😂
Worst app ever

Version 9.1
The most difficult app To navigate that I have!!! Why is it so difficult to read the leap diary? What’s the point in having it if I can’t figure what on earth it means???
I entered my babies birthday instead of the due date so all my dates are wrong anyway and I don’t know how on earth you change it... no buttons in settings to alter. Totally pointless me having this app!
Also, some of the information is repeated during each leap so basically... every couple of weeks, your baby gets a little fussier and then better. That’s all you need to know no point in getting the app!!!
Old fashioned interface and hard to use

Version 9.1
Heard quite a bit about this app from my fellow NCT Mums and downloaded it. Had to double check it was the correct app because even the screen grabs of it in the App Store show it to look really dated and old fashioned in terms of design. I purchased it nevertheless and have to say that unfortunately I am not impressed. It’s really difficult to navigate and for something that should be really simple and intuitive (ie a calendar feature that then links through to information about what your baby should be experiencing at that time plus data on how long it is til the next leap) it just didn’t deliver on this. Also the content itself is not written very well (whose decision was it to write it in the baby’s first person rather than he/she’ ?! It’s not as if the baby would be reading this!) The calendar feature isn’t clickable and doesn’t tell you what the icons mean or click through to the corresponding info page. I can’t really see how this app is very useful to be honest and in an age with some many brilliantly designed and well-tested apps I think this needs a completely redesign and a lot of user feedback taken into consideration. Take heed app designers.....
No white noise or music!

Version 9.0.5
I already have the book and decided to get the app because the book said that there are scientifically proven white noise tracks and music on the app. But it turns out you have to pay a hefty monthly fee to get and maintain access to these. The app description simply lists these features as 'extras', with no indication that you have to pay a subscription for them. So I really don't need the app because it offers nothing more than the book (except a diary to fill in for sleep, milestones tracking etc which other apps are much better for due to better UI etc). It turns out that I have to buy the separate 'Wonder Weeks Sleep' app for the white noise and music library - but I've already bought this one and feel cheated to be honest! Especially since I already paid for the book. Developers, please be more transparent in your description and don't waste people's (aka sleep-deprived parents') time and money!
Informative but poorly designed

Version 9.0.4
This app is just extremely poorly constructed compared to others. Not a fan of the layout and looks quite old in terms of designing. On the main page at the bottom it says “you do this” and “you do that” but its talking about your baby and not yourself, almost like a child wrote it. Also when your hovering over the leaps page, it shows where your child is but does not say what leap it is and wont let you click on the leaps to bring it up. Also on the child activities it only has 1 thing to do! Honestly a waste of my money. All that I have read on this app I already have read online for free. Other reviews are fake. Rubbish app do not waste your money.
Confusing, repetitive, difficult to follow

Version 9.0.3
The information is interesting and useful to know, however whoever developed this app needs to start again, with a simple layout which makes sense. I cannot get my head around where to find current information for my baby. Such a strangely laid out app. Please update it and change to a simple layout which defaults depending on my babies age. Interesting to read then responses to reviews by Marco - ignoring the feedback and simply justifying what you’ve done vs taking in feedback to influence product design.
Confusing & Hard to use

Version 9.0.3
I find this app really hard to navigate! Everything is hidden away in 20 different places. It gave me no new information for over 30 days. At this point I haven’t been able to use the app for over 2 weeks because it’s been the same information and I read it when it came up originally. I even got in touch with the developers because I thought it was broken. Would have minded so much if it was free but for 4 quid, bounty is a much better and free app that gives you little bits of information every day. As well as the book my baby week by week which was for more helpful!
New version is rubbish, don’t bother

Version 9.0.3
The app used to be an easy way to check the key dates and milestones in the ‘leaps’. Now the leap information seems to be a copy and paste job for every leap, it’s really difficult to work out if we’re in a leap or not, and in general the ui is unpleasant and clunky.
It’s now centered around making notes and checking boxes about stuff your baby’s done, which i’m not bothered about as I don’t think I’ll still be using this app long-term and would rather write in a real baby book. And it’s trying to shoehorn in extra functionality like white noise in a subscription model which is just greedy.
Don’t bother with the app, either get the book second hand or find a pdf of the leaps and dates.
The most useful app for the new parent

Version 9.0.3
I have been using this app since it was recommended to me when my little one was about a month old. It’s an invaluable insight into babies brain development and gives reassurance as to what behaviour changes may reflect. The app has recently had an update and is slightly the worse for it, otherwise I would have given 5* It doesn’t seem as full of info as it was before and this disappoints me. However if you are new to it the app will still be very useful so well worth getting
Ruined by the update

Version 9.0.3
This app was lovely to use and ran smoothly. But then they updated it... now everything is behind tabs that are hard to navigate and it says things like ‘check the milestones tab’ - which is 4/5 clicks away which are mostly guessing. And ‘to understand this better buy the book’. I paid for this app. And to now have other aspects behind a paywall too is ridiculous.
This app used to be a lifesaver. Now it’s just a frustrating waste of money. If you just want people to buy the book remove the app entirely. Don’t just update it to make it unusable.
Great app but experiencing problems since the update

Version 9.0.2
I’ve loved using this app - it’s been invaluable for my husband and I to be able to predict and therefore attend more consciously to our sons leaps. It’s been pretty spot on for us in terms of when certain behaviour is predicated. I used to find it very easy to use.
Since the recent update however the layout has changed, it asks me for language choice every time I open it, there’s new list features- which I don’t find particularly useful and there seems to be problems now with the app- the calendar view isn’t accurate (the dates/week don’t align properly), the videos do not load and the information and usability isn’t as clear. I’ve tried deleting the app and re downloading but the same problems persist.
I’ve tried to find a way of contacting someone to help but can’t find a way to do that. Anyone else having such issues?
For the price, should have more

Version 8.0.2
This app isn't cheap. It gives basic information & summary of whats to come.
*To then charge add ons for chapters inc sleep chapters or audio version (which penalises people with vision issues) etc is very cheeky.
Just charge one higher price to give access to everything!
*No real ability to log anything except via a notes page which doesn't help at all.
It should have an add to calendar note system on the thundercloud days (touch the date on timeline to add a note) To remind you of how they were at that moment. Not sift through separate notes.
*No community option to ask a question to Ww parents. Missing a trick. Look at Ovia pregnancy & parenting app for knowing how its done.
*I personally found a used book from ebay for £2.50 and glad i did because otherwise id have been very annoyed with this app & the price it charges you for nothing more than its brand name.
*If i could of requested a refund, i would of by now as there are free parenting apps that are more comprehensive than this.
Very helpful!

Version 8.0.2
I got brought this app when I first had my daughter from a family member when I was saying about my daughter being unsettled and not her self not knowing about leaps and how it can effect the baby. This app has helped me a lot especially being a first time mum! The app explains a lot to you if your not to sure about why baby might be unsettled or doing something different, i know exactly when my daughter is having a leap as it’s added it to my calendar. I never really knew much about leaps before hand so it’s definitely made me understand a lot. It’s a brilliant app! Highly recommend!!

A great app for any new mum or dad. Gives a rough guide on when your new baby is going to be more fussy or irritable. It’s great for planning ahead and also learning their new developmental leaps! They have great tips to help get your baby through fussy times too along with things to help them discover their new abilities. Definitely a must have. I’ve already recommended it to all my parent friends. Their book is great too if you want to read on more detail about the leaps.

Not only is this app a beautiful addition to the book, it’s also ever so interesting to learn about these developmental stages of your child. Used it for our first born. Using it again now. The value of this app for us lies predominantly in that it takes out guess work and reassures one as a parent in times of stress or uncertainty which you will find yourself in most definitely.
Can and am actually only recommend this app and the book.
Love love love

I was told about this app from a mummy of two when I was worried that I wasn’t being a good mummy as my little boy was crying a lot and hard to settle.
It gave me the answers I needed as it shows when a stormy time is coming up when a leap is happening. I love learning all about the leaps and what my little boy is learning as he grows. Fascinating app it’s a must for any new mums! Or even second third etc time mums!
Not accurate for us at all!

Version 8.0.2
My daughter was born on her due date and this app hasn’t been accurate for her at all. I was recommended it and the other reviews are good but I’m really disappointed that I spent the money on it. It’s good to see what order things to develop in (although I can get that on other apps) and the calendar feature is nice as a glance for her age with dates. However the tracking appears to be totally out for her so any ‘cranky’ days don’t correlate and they can be her happier ones and vice versa. She’s also been weeks ahead in some of the leaps so I’m getting information after it’s happened. I understand every baby is different and so nothing can be 100% accurate so am annoyed at myself that I bought into this one!
Fantastic

A great app for giving you explanations as to what is happening with your baby, reasons why they might be cranky and ways to deal with it. This is amazing for those days when they just seem to cry for no reason and you can look at the app and see they are about to have their ‘leap’, what developments they are having and ways to help with their crankiness. Saves you from going mad. Brilliant!
Great App

I was recommended this app by a friend and I’m so glad I got it! It really is so informative and I feel like I understand my little one more because of it. When my little one is being more fussier or agitated I check my app and I know when she is going through a leap and has been right every time. I really love the advice it gives and what to expect with each leap. Fantastic app! X

This app (and the book) are spot on and have been the most helpful resource to me as a Mum - both first and second time. I am not a book-reading / planning kind of Mother as often find intuition better than being overwhelmed by lots of info. However this book has been so in line with the development of my two boys that it has aided and reassured me greatly.

Version 8.0.1
Upon purchasing this app recommended by a friend, I thought brilliant, I can track their developments (I say their because I have twins!, although I have to take the Info based on twin1 as there is no option for twins). I find the info on the leaps and developments worth a read but there is an awful lot of it to take in, also the app is claiming my babies should be doing things or showing signs of doing things that they aren’t. When it comes to predicting difficult or calm times I find it highly inaccurate!
Not sure it’s worth the price I paid
Always spot on!

Can’t believe how spot on this app has been, every time it has said my son will go through various leaps he has. I find it very useful with tips on how I can deal with my sons sometimes tricky behaviour, also tips on how to help my son use his new found skills. I’m so impressed with this app and have recommended it to lots of parents, who have also reported great accuracy in their children too.

Version 7.3.2
The information is wonderful and I’ve found it really interesting in predicting difficult periods with my 3 month old. However, I purchased the app a month ago and the information hasn’t changed. I understand that the leaps last some time but I really think the app would benefit from daily insights. I have another app which I didn’t pay for that offers useful tips tailored to your pregnancy and parenting styles. I find it disappointing that a paid-for app doesn’t offer a little more.
Great app wish it was interactive

I had the book for my first child and decided to get the app this time. Very helpful and really helps me notice the small developments in my child. I wish the app were interactive though, I’d like to be able to mark off the leaps as completed on the chart when I notice my child has completed the fussy stage and gained some of the skills, would be cool to be able to tick box the abilities as you notice them etc.
Best app ever

We have been using this app since our son is 2 months old. Now he is 16 months. It is so educational, interesting and logical!! It explains why baby gete cranky for 'no reason to us' but it actually is every reason for the brain development. It makes me understand my baby so much more hence when the difficult times come, I have more patient and understanding to my baby. I think the NHS should advice all parents to have this app!!

It’s helpful to know what’s going on with your baby, especially when they are in a difficult phases & it is fascinating to know what they are learning & how to help them out in they’re development.

This is seriously the best app you can get for you and your baby! I have used this with my eldest and now my newborn. It really helps to understand your baby and help them with development. It’s a lifesaver when you’re not sure what’s wrong with them, you’ve tried everything and nothing works! No doubt they will be going through a development leap, it explains so much. Would highly recommend this!!

Every new parent is always given unsolicited and usually contradictory advise. If you’re sick of always hearing that your baby must be tired or teething or hungry, this is the app for you.
For the past year, it has accurately predicted every ‘fussy’ phase my daughter has been through and helped make sense of the new things she is learning and how these can be scary for her - it offers great tips on how to help her get through these phases and apply the new information she learns to real world situations.
Thanks to this app, I feel like I can really understand and attend to her needs better and help her mental development every step of the way.
This is crazy awesome!!

Trust me, as me and my gf are at our wits end regarding our child level of crying and running out of solutions, this has helped us with so many things. As first time parents and still early doors with our child it helped reassure us, plan and expect. Its incredibly accurate as the information given was spot on in relation to our daughter. Thank you!!!!

I’ve enjoyed using this app. It’s given me reassurance that when my baby’s ‘out of sorts’, it’s often because he’s going through a developmental leap. I like the suggestions of ways to support and understand your baby during these challenging periods. I find the dates to have been very accurate too. The science behind the app is very interesting - if anything, I’d like to know more about babies brain development during these leaps.
Bizarrely accurate

We have just finished using this app as our toddler turns 18 months today. We heard about it when he was just 5 weeks old and we posted on Facebook for some feeding advice. It is so accurate! Not only for us but our entire NCT group have used it and it’s been spot on for all of us. So weird but so, so useful and reassuring! I recommend it to any parent whether it’s a 1st or 5th Baby x

Had the app for my first baby who followed the leaps like clockwork. If she was suddenly acting grumpy or clingy I’d check the app and sure enough she was in a leap. Second baby is not quite as exact with the dates (but was prem so she’s a bit behind herself anyway) but still useful to look and see what she might learn next. Love the wonder weeks.

Version 7.1
People will roll their eyes at me if I tell them about this app but honestly it has never steered me wrong. Only ever out by a day or so but always predicts when my little one is going to enter “diva mode”. It makes it a little easier to understand and, ultimately, deal with her fussy phases when there is reasoning behind it. I can appreciate her development so much more and help her along the way.
Every new mum needs this!

The app every new mum should have! it’s such an amazing tool to have as a new mum knowing nothing about or even hearing of ‘leaps’ before. It gives you a run down of each leap, signs it’s happening, abilities gained during and ways to help comfort your little one.
With a calendar of when to expect the leaps it helps you realise babies arnt just being little monsters but are actually developing their little brains - highly recommend!

Version 6.2.2
I cannot recommend this app highly enough. We have used it since our daughter was born and she is now nearly 1. It's been invaluable! What makes it different is that it's based on due date so takes account of early and late births. It will tell you what your baby is learning and how much they understand of the world around them. This is essential as it accurately predicts periods of crankiness and clinging. Of course you can't change this but it means you can plan for it and give your baby some extra benefit of the doubt at that time. It's also great to know that there is an end to the current phase which can really stop you going crazy 😄
