WONDER WEEK week 5

I've seen the term "Wonder Weeks" thrown around the board a lot and I've done my best to research them and read the site. I couldn't find the answer to some of my questions though, which I'm assuming is the plot to be sure they can sell the book. So, my questions:
What exactly is happening to my child? 
What should I expect? 
What is the best way to handle my LOs reaction to her charging? 
Does it really last a week?

I can definitely tell she's more needy/clingy and easily upset but I'm not sure if it's the wonder week, a growth spurt or if she doesn't feel well. Gestationally she's 5 weeks+1, but she'll be 5 weeks tomorrow based on her birthday.

    I would suggest downloading the app. It's $1.99 but well worth it. Here is an example of what to expect leap 2 (7 1/2-  9 1/2 weeks)

    Just realized you are 5 1/2 weeks so here is the screen shot from the app for that leap

    I haven't read the book but I've used the app for both kids. For my older son he went through leaps pretty closely to the projected chart they provide as part of the app.  I've included it so you can see what the timeline looks like.

    Each leap provides details about behaviors that might indicate your child is going through a leap as well as details about what abilities they'll have by the end of the leap. I've found it helpful just to know there's a reason for increased fussiness. 

    The duration of every leap depends on your baby, as does how to comfort them.

    Thank you! I feel like she's going through the 5 & 7 week leap at the same time lol. I'll definitely invest in the app.

    I downloaded the app and I had the exact same thought. It's been a tough couple weeks over here
