CDC Milestone Tracker

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

About this app

Milestones matter! Track your child’s milestones from age 2 months to 5 years with CDC’s easy-to-use checklists; get tips from CDC to support your child’s development; and find out what to do if you ever have concerns about your child's development.

From birth to age 5, your child should reach milestones in how he or she plays, learns, speaks, acts and moves. Photos and videos in this app illustrate each milestone and make tracking them for your child easy and fun! Spanish photos and videos are coming soon!

Features:
• Add a Child – enter personalized information about your child or multiple children
• Milestone Tracker – track your child’s development by looking for important milestones using an interactive checklist
• Milestone Photos and Videos – know what each milestone looks like so that you can better identify them in your own child.
o Due to COVID-19, photos and videos to support the updated milestones have been delayed for the Spanish checklists but will be added in a future update.
• Tips and Activities – support your child’s development at every age
• When to Act Early – know when it’s time to “act early” and talk with your child’s doctor about developmental concerns
• Appointments – keep track of your child’s doctors’ appointments and get reminders about recommended developmental screenings
• Milestone Summary – get a summary of your child’s milestones to view, and share with or email to your child’s doctor and other important care providers

*This milestone checklist is not a substitute for a standardized, validated developmental screening tool. These developmental milestones show what most children (75% or more) can do by each age. Subject matter experts selected these milestones based on available data and expert consensus.

CDC does not collect or share any personal information that can be used to identify you or your child.

Ratings and reviews

The app was very useful and helpful when I was able to use it. I learned however, when I got a new phone, that it must have not setup an account for me, or rather, it seems to not use accounts, period. When I opened the app on my new phone there was nowhere to log-on. It was promoting me to start from scratch. So it appears I have lost data I had tracked about my baby and all my notes etc.

I like everything about this app except the fact that you cannot back up your data. Everytime you get a new phone you lose your data and have to start over. BIt would be nice to have an option to export/import data from OneDrive or Google Drive.

Crashes on start regardless of reinstallation. Pixel 8 Pro Edit - I'm glad to say that this app has been fixed and is one of the best apps out there to track childhood development. I highly recommend it to new parents.
