*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

It doesn't allow me to track additional milestones my baby has reached. My baby has reached all milestones 2-3 months earlier than when the app asks. For example, my baby started crawling at 5 months, but at 6 months it doesn't give me the option to input this. This app is absolutely no different than just googling a list of appropriate developmental milestones. I honestly can't see how this app could be useful to anyone.

It does exactly what I need it to do. Tracks my children's milestones. Not sure why there are so many bad reviews. Personally I haven't had any issues with it. Looks like there was a technical issue after an update and instead of emailing the developers, people decided to leave a negative review and leave it up forever even after the issue was fixed. Don't be like these people. If an app is having issues, email the developer so they can fix it.

Was looking forward to using this, the day my baby turned two months, it started crashing. I never even really got to use it, because it is for 2 months and up. Go figure. Looking at the other reviews, I'm definitely not alone. It seems like y'all need to fix the updates.. until then the app is completely useless, as it won't even open.
