I've seen so many references to them, and I am clueless about them! haha. How do they work and where are they referenced? It might help knowing when we can anticipate maybe having some issues. Does anyone not buy into them?

I don't really buy into them. I think it's just another attempt to explain human behavior. And I think it's one more tool for parents to explain away their children instead of realizing that they're people, they're growing, and sometimes they're just not happy. We don't have to have a reason for everything.

I don't buy into it either. Just chill and go with the flow. There's always up and downs and everything passes.

i don't buy into them either. Sometimes kids cry, sometimes they don't. Sometimes they eat and sleep well and sometimes they don't. I don't think it helpds to overanalyze every little detail. I would miss her childhood if I did that.

I think the theory makes a lot of sense - the baby is learning new skills, causing the "wonder week". But at the same time I find that chart super scary. It looks like babies are miserable more of the time than they're happy.

Even with DS being 16 months, went ahead and bought the app. Mostly in frustration in his recent spike in misbehavior. I'm on the fence. So far DD is on track with it and DS could be on track. We'll see!

It doesn't seem to fit my baby either. His first two months were a disaster. Once he got on a schedule, nothing seems to faze him.
