Learn all about the leaps and bounds and the fussy phases of your baby
Read the bestselling Wonder Weeks book here in this app
Take notes about a range of topics
Think of it as a portable, at-a-glance version of the calendar leap chart in The Wonder Weeks. Where the book describes in-depth and easy-to-understand terms the incredible developmental changes your baby goes through, the app is the perfect leap calendar companion to track your baby’s mental development (during the first 20 months).
By knowing what is going on inside the head of your baby, you can help him to make the leap more easily and stimulate his development.
The Wonder Weeks app helps new parents by:
- Calendar Showing when your baby makes a leap in his mental development
- What your baby can understand & learn after this mental leap
- What your baby can do after this leap
- What you can do to help your baby
This app is also a handy reminder for new parents when their baby’s brain is changing, or “leaping,” the baby is making a significant advance in mental development, and with each step forward comes a drastic change in the way your baby sees the world around him. Because these leaps come so quickly, the “new world” and new abilities can sometimes be scary, and the development can initially manifest in poor sleep, bad appetite, crying, clinging and crankiness – exhausting and frustrating mom and dad.
International experts on The Wonder Weeks:
“This is a very practical and entertaining window into the baby’s first year and a half. van de Rijt and Plooij have observed and found the vulnerable times in an infant’s development that I independently came to in my book Touchpoints (Perseus Books Group). The authors’ observations and practical suggestions are wonderful.”
-T. Berry Brazelton, M.D., professor emeritus, Harvard Medical School
"Anyone who deals with infants and young children will want to read The Wonder Weeks. This book will open parents' eyes to aspects of their children's growth, development, changing behavior, and emotional responsiveness that they might otherwise not notice or find puzzling and distressing."
-Catherine Snow, Ph.D., Shattuck Professor of Education, Harvard Graduate School of Education

Not worth it
mmrobin3
This should be a free app! There is such little information on each leap and the app has calculated the wrong dates for my son. I entered his due date, as told, but he continuously becomes fussy the week after a leap. All of the information the app gives can be found with a quick google search. Wouldn’t recommend. Update due to poor response from developer that does not address the flaws in the app and minimal information. This app leaves so much to be desired. Most of this information can found on the free What to Expect app. I will be sure to advise future moms against this scam.
Disappointed and not worth the money
Lala1545!!
Wonder weeks from the Lumi Pampers app is so much better and not sure why this paid version is not as good. It doesn’t provide half the things on the Lumi app like how to comfort your baby, how to prep for the leaps, or things to try out (toys, or sounds). So disappointed in this app and not sure why they don’t provide the same content as the Wonder weeks through the Lumi app.
Basically astrology
Micksim
I got this app because someone said it was science based. It’s not. It doesn’t have any references to science in it. The first leap didn’t fit my baby at all, and the second leap only fit my baby for a couple of things on the list, which was probably just a coincidence. The app’s texts explaining the leaps are like long rants which are difficult to apply to actual behaviors that my baby has. And, once again, there’s no scientific evidence of any of it. The app also has some pop ups which are annoying to click away when exploring the app. I’m sorry I paid for this app. It’s basically astrology, trying to explain all babies based on due dates. Babies don’t follow the calendar. The worst thing is that the app gives a false sense of “light at the end of the tunnel” and directs attention away from real issues that a baby has.
Not worth paying for
BohoBabySyd
This should be a free app with in app purchases. Not worth buying just to hate. Not accurate and very confusing to navigate. Just google each week if you’re that interested tbh
Terrible
NotSumthinNice
Not worth paying for and not very informative. I would give it 0 stars if I could.
Not worth it

Don’t waste your time or money upgrading. The first few “leaps” seem to legitimize any fussiness as a new parent, then after that it’s kind of useless.
Latest update renders this useless
elliemae617
Although I knew not to put too much stock in this app, I liked having a place to keep track of milestones and look ahead for upcoming skill development. The latest update added so many nonsensical skills that it's not worth even looking any more. I'm sure some 5-month-old somewhere is walking, but that doesn't mean it's appropriate to include "you walk back and forth," "you make a jumping movement" and "you grab a toy from an overhead shelf or table" for Leap 5. You even include "you oppose your thumb and index finger to grasp small objects", though the pincer grasp is typically a skill seen in 9-month-olds. Your app is bound to mislead caregivers and cause undue worry - it's utterly irresponsible to include skills that are not developmentally appropriate.
Useless
ChristyDyer
I started reading and following bc I found that others thought it was helpful and I loved the idea of knowing what’s going on with my baby’s development but from leap 5 on the skills are nonsense. A 6 month old being able to pull things out of cabinets and knowing what animals are which and being able to pull to standing… none of this is correct. I reached out to support and supposedly the app has an issue that they stated would be fixed in mid July. It’s sept and it’s the same nonsense. I want my money back ?
