Wonder weeks app

I downloaded the wonder weeks app to understand the various leaps that DS will be going through so that I can anticipate fussy times. My question is that DS was born on 3/27 and his EDD was 4/2 and the app says that for premies you should use EDD not the actual birthday when assessing the leaps and cycle.

I don't consider DS a premie and think it's ok to use the birthday because of it being less than a week away from EDD.

Has anyone used this and what do you think?

    I'm using it and went with the EDD even though she was a week late.

    This is from their website:
    To calculate the leaps you have to enter the due date. Also with preemies and twins. The timing of the mental development of a baby is linked to the age since conception and not to the age since birth. Therefore, to know when your baby is making a leap, you have to fill in the due date, and not the date of birth. Look at it this way: the brain of a baby that is born three weeks early is not as far developed as the brain of a full term baby. The brain develops, in and outside the whomb. This is why we calculate with the due date.

    Omg changing from birthday to EDD made a huge difference!! Probably because he was 3 weeks overdue. He's definitely leapin...

    DD was 2.5 weeks early but the app seems to be true to her birthday and not EDD. Don't know if this makes me a special snowflake or just throws me into the "moms who think their babies are more advanced than they actually are" category.

    Yeah, my daughter was 4 weeks early and I feel like she has already passed the first "leap" which the app days won't happen for another 16 days...

    Ditto. My DS was also 4 weeks early (almost 9 weeks old now) and I think we are in the second leap. He was doing the leap one stuff weeks ago. Or maybe I'm just crazy. Who knows.

    My LO was just two days early but has shown signs that he's been going through the first leap a week early, IMHO.
