How to get the app

The app has many features that parents of young children will find useful such as tracking their  child's milestones in terms of their play, speaking, movements and learning. For example, to track the milestones of a 2 month old, users are asked questions such as - has started smiling at people, can briefly calm themselves (may bring hands to mouth and suck on hand), tries to look at parent, coos and makes gurgling sounds, turns head towards sound, etc. The possible answer to these questions are yes, not sure, not yet. To provide further guidance, the app has a section on when to act early and  tips and activities for each age. For the complete app description, go to Google Play(external link) (android), iTunes(external link) or the app website(external link).

✔ Includes videos and images.

✔ The milestone quick view is a short summary of milestones at each age.

✔ Can create a summary of milestones or concerns to discuss with your healthcare professional.
