Wondering about the wonder weeks...

Have you ever noticed your baby going through phases of being cranky, crying and sleeping poorly ?

Tyler is currently in his 8th leap and let me tell you, it’s not easy. Some days he’s fine then the next he’s constantly crying, clingy and cranky (welcome to the three c’s)

Leaps are sudden changes in mental development where your baby learns new perceptions of the world around them. During this period, which generally lasts a few weeks to a month long, your baby will learn new skills that they didn’t know before.

There are two phases during a leap

1️⃣The difficult period (the three c’s)

2️⃣Mastering their new skill

After your baby masters a new skill they enter another leap and so this continues during their first two years making it ten leaps in total. Personally I find keeping tabs on leaps makes things a whole lot easier, I know what to expect and I can encourage and help him learn the new skill.

To track your baby’s leaps check out the wonder weeks app.

Sincerely, a tired mamma
