Answering the Q: "How can I help them develop?"

Not every parent is expecting to raise Olympians or Nobel Prize Laureates. But every parent has wondered about the small activities that can support their little one to eventually kick a goal, brush their teeth, or solve a puzzle.

For each age range, SmallFeats has:

  • MilestonesThings that most babies and infants reach around this age
  • Things to tryEvidence-based and age-appropriate activities to help your little one grow
SmallFeats on an Android phone: the age wheel for a 1 week old on the Moving area, with one thing to try today. Milestones to watch for at 0 to 2 months in the Moving area, such as holds their head up when lying on their tummy. Things to try at 0 to 2 months in the Moving area: swap sides through the day, tummy time and side-lying play.

Honestly, nothing here is new

A source listed in the app: a 2020 review in Pediatrics on tummy time and infant health outcomes. A source listed in the app: the American Academy of Pediatrics, back to sleep, tummy to play. A source listed in the app: Raising Children Network, tummy time. A source listed in the app: Red Nose Australia, can babies be placed on their tummy to play?

Which we think is a good thing. There's already a ton of great information out there from Raising Children Network, BetterHealth, government sites and scientific studies. It's just hard to navigate them all and figure out what you can do for your little one today.

These organisations haven't reviewed or endorsed SmallFeats.
