CDC's Milestone Tracker

New update reset the checklists and now the checklists don’t work? Sends an error and when you retry it sends it back to the homepage!

I like to check which milestones are upcoming for my baby but when I complete the ‘next’ checklist and select some as “not yet” then the app notifies me multiple times that I need to have my child evaluated. The app could be greatly improved by letting people see the upcoming milestones and not sending unnecessary notifications when the child hasn’t actually reached the next milestone age yet despite the checklist completed in advance.

I think it’s great that the app helps people understand milestones however, as someone who preforms Ages and Stages assessments is important to know that an assessment like this should be done with a professional so it’s not interpreted incorrectly and making the caregiver more worried than they need to be or filling it out incorrectly When there are concerns. For example, I just completed this and there is a question in the 1 year old that says “does your baby’s say mom, dad and ugh oh” if your child doesn’t say ugh oh (maybe because you don’t say it/cultural differences) and you click NO then this assessment may indicate a speak concern. Maybe your child says other words or sounds instead but this doesn’t give you the option to indicate that. When we perform these assessments, it is Yes No or sometimes and we ask for clarification/ask to expand. If you have concerns speak to your doctor don’t self assess with an app

Would love to be able to sync this app with my wife so we can both add to it together. Otherwise— it is very organized and we are going to use it as our main source of electronic baby tracking.

can’t accurately list my baby’s prematurity. He was born at 22 weeks gestation which us 18 weeks premature. The app only accounts for 16weeks or less.

This is a very simple way to keep track of important milestones. I love that it helps me informed through push notifications so that I go back and complete them. Videos accompany each milestone to make it easy to understand each one.

The basics here are so sparse. I had hoped to track my grandchildren to be aware of developmental progression points and get ideas for activities to Meet them “where they are”. This is not that app.

I’d love to recommend this product to my clients but, since it only comes in English and Spanish, most of my refugee clients won’t be able to use it. Please expand the language options and be sure to include Haitian Creole, Ukrainian, Russian, Dari, Farsi, and Somali.

I thought this app would show things a child should be doing at each age level. Instead it just asks a couple basic questions and that’s it. I would love for it to have a checklist.

I like that the app tries to connect families with concerns to resources and programs in their state. HOWEVER, for Massachusetts users, the link for more information about Early Intervention goes to the Head Start webpage, and the link for more information about Head Start is broken.
