Taking a leap

Taking a leap

In our research that led to the 10 mental leaps of a baby, we discovered that all babies are more prone to cry, cling or to be cranky at certain times. A leap may be stressful at times, but it is positive: it gives your baby the opportunity to learn something new.

Our mission is to make parents feel confident when taking the biggest leap in their lives: having a baby! We take a candid look at parenting, shed light on all sides and are there for all parents. We can all help each other and learn from each other.

What is the due date of your baby?*

Baby leap chart

During our research into mental leaps, we discovered that this phase in which your baby cries more frequently and shows a different behavior than normally, can actually be predicted quite accurately almost up to the very week based on the due date. Discover the leaps of your baby on our website, using our baby leap chart.

I love having this app! My daughter has been a little fussy the last couple days and I was going crazy trying to figure out what we’re doing “wrong”. Turns out she’s in the fussy phase of a leap! It’s so helpful knowing more about what she’s experiencing.

This app has really helped me understand what is happening with my baby developmentally. It’s given me great exercises to do with my baby to help them during different stages. My son is about 1 leap ahead of where is he is supposed to be and I truly believe it’s because I follow this guide!

The app is so helpful. It provides confirmation around babies behaviors and it’s super comforting when baby is all of a sudden fussy or changes in attitude to be able to look and see it’s a leap! We also love the diary feature and have recorded at least one photo every day since birth! It’s so crazy to look back and see how fast he changes!

This app has been so helpful in understand the developmental milestones that my daughter is experiencing and what I can do to help her be even more successful during the specific leaps.

So useful! I have the app for over 5 years and used it for both of my kids. Helps me understand them better and give me a good idea of what is happening and what they are going through. Recommending and always will. I don’t have a village to go to ( not even a person actually) and this has helped me so much. There’s activities as well. Amazing!
