Pathways.org Baby Milestones

I love this app! I’m a home visitor and I recommend it to all my clients as a way to find simple activities to do throughout the week instead of just the one thing they do with me every week… and the activities with videos and explanations are SUCH a great way to help families understand how easy and simple it is to play with their babies while strengthening connection and development. HOWEVER, while I think the activities/milestone tracking side of the app is fairly well developed, I think it would be really great if there was a bit more time put into the developing the logging daily routines like diapers, feedings, etc. This COULD be such a super helpful feature to families with medically high needs families, parents that are learning parenting skills, parents that are tracking new foods etc, but it’s fairly limited to just diapers, bottles/nursing, tummy time, and infant massage… all great things, but if parents could ALSO track solid foods, naps/sleep, even track mood or growth, add notes to activities about if the child liked it or they should try it again later… These things would be such a benefit to families that have multiple caregivers, work with babysitters or kinship care, parents that are on opposite schedules, new foster parents etc, who are all overwhelmed with having a young child and frankly, I think THOSE features could draw them in to using the app and really help support a family as a whole in more areas than JUST milestones.

I use it everyday I can track everything for my newborn and it’s easy to work. Free too
