The Wonder Weeks App - Explains Everything!

If you are a nerd like me you MUST DOWNLOAD NOW :) it is fascinating.  We have all talked about our clingy fussy babies lately so I did a little research last night.

What I found is that babies go through "leaps" of mental development where their brains develop very quickly over a short period of time.

Between 7 1/2 and 9 1/2 weeks our babies are in the "Patterns" leap. A leap consists of two phases: 1. The difficult period where the baby is Crying more, Clingy and Cranky. 2. Mastering new skills

 Examples of what our babies may be able to do after this leap (they warn that potential new skills can still take awhile a learn)

  • Hold head better
  • Turn head towards sound
  • Shift weight forward
  • Flap hands against toys
  • Discovers body parts
  • Looks at patterns like flickering candle
  • Makes short explosive sounds

Signs you baby is going through this leap?

  • Wants to be entertained more often
  • Takes longer to be at ease with "new" or "other" people
  • Wants to be breastfed all day but doesn't drink
  • Craving more physical contact
  • Cries more easily

Isn't this fascinating!! I highly recommend you get the app - it explains much more and talks about all of the other leaps. I swear this explains my LO's behavior to the T ! I love that I know what to look for now!

P.S. I think it was only like 99 cents.

    This is so cool! And it describes DS's behavior perfectly. I think I need to track down the book this is based on. Thanks for sharing!
