Do you believe in the ‘leaps’?

Question

I’m not sure if it’s because I have a 10 and 7 yr old but I tried following wonder weeks (the app) and just don’t really ‘believe’ I guess you’d say. 
If my youngest is not sleeping, crabby or w.e I just think it’s because the mood she’s in and/or because she’s a baby. I don’t blame her crabbiness, neediness or lack of sleeping because she’s in a leap. 
Just curious on your guys thoughts?

Answer

They are backed by medical research so yes I believe in them but some babies may not be obviously affected, and may not go through it at the EXACT time range that they say.

Answer

Load of nonsense for my baby.
Developmentally, great, I love to read what I can expect from him and how to encourage him.
But in terms of temprement and sleep, he's never any different week to week.
All babes are different I guess. I think there is a tenancy to link the symptoms to a cause and try to look for it, but I'm just cynical like that.
Works for a lot of parents though so if it helps then great!

Answer

My March baby is our seventh and I’ve never even heard the term “leap.”  I totally agree with you.

Answer

I have found them to be so spot on!! All babies are different but I know myself and a lot of other mums have found them helpful in knowing why our babies might be more fussy than usual :) each to their own!

Answer

I dont following the leaps too closely but do like the developmental info that they talk about.  Helps me to stimualate my baby appropriately

Answer

For my first daughter the leaps were always spot on - especially the 'thunderstorm' weeks were the ones when she was in the worst mood. Now she's 2 years old and I sometimes miss being able to look at the app and at least knowing it's gonna be over in x days 😂 now I'm curious if it's gonna be the same for our son 😀😅

Answer

Second time mom. 
Dont believe them at all 😂

Answer

eh I dont pay much attention to them either.. babies have both good and bad days, growth spurts ect

Answer

It’s been spot on for me so far and every time the leap is over my baby emerges with a different new skill, it’s pretty cool actually

Answer

Stm and it's not the bible for me but i have definitely seen a correlation between what they say and both of my babies developments.
My dd1 always started to have latching problem right when she started a leap and than would be fine after it.
