I know this is the condensed version of the full book, but I still expected it to actually include a bit of info about each leap and what it entails. Instead, the information was just one chart showing when they happen. Guess I need to go get the full book from the library now. 🙄

Although I liked this book at first, based on the research it provided, I found myself stressed and waiting for the next leap and not enjoying my baby. Having the app alerts me of when the next "stormy" week was approaching completely rattled me. A friend finally gave me the sound advise to delete the app and just let the weeks unfold naturally. Some may find this information helpful, but I would it cause me stress after a while

Piaget for dummies, very very poorly condensed. Chapter 7 on stress not only contains many factual errors but it's downright dangerous. Chapter 8 on intelligence seems to have been lifted directly from the bell curve. I had no idea you could get a PhD in developmental psychology from Kmart.

One of the only baby books I’ll recommend. Read it in conjunction with The wonder weeks.

Again, the app was helpful & this book wasn't necessary. However, it was better than the full-on Wonder Weeks book.

[Paulina André · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very insightful

Interesting, easily written, even if one knows some of the concept it is still a good reminder. Recommended to all parents

[Samantha · Rating 2 out of 5]

A lot of common knowledge. Poorly written.

[Danielle · Rating 4 out of 5]

easy read
useful concept
some dated examples

[Ayesha Gloria · Rating 5 out of 5]

A nightstand must halve with children under 2, it really helps you understand your child and have more patience.

[Laura · Rating 2 out of 5]

I thought it would have different information from the Wonder Weeks book, but it's just a really stripped down version of the authors' other book written in a Q&A format. Two stars for some useful charts regarding, e.g., typical age ranges for hitting gross motor milestones. The original Wonder Weeks book is excellent; buy that instead and don't bother with this one.

Didn’t read full Wonder Weeks book, but have the app. This is a small time investment (read in two sittings), and has some useful information. In my opinion, not a bad quick reference guide to have - but certainly not a complete or comprehensive guide to parenting or a baby’s development.
