Oei, ik Groei!
Oei, ik Groei! is now in an Android app! Picking up on the international bestselling book, Oei, ik Groei!, and more than 35 years of international scientific research, this app will keep you informed about the (mental) leaps and bounds of your baby -
- any time of day or night. This app won prizes in several countries as best parenting app!
Think of it as a portable, at-a-glance version of the leap chart in Oei, ik Groei!. Where the book describes in-depth and easy-to-understand terms the incredible developmental changes that all babies go through, the app is the perfect companion element to track your baby’s mental development.
It is also a handy reminder for new parents when their baby’s brain is changing, or “leaping,” s/he is making a significant advance in mental development, and with each step forward comes a drastic change in the way your baby sees the world around him. Because these leaps come so quickly, the “new world” and new abilities can sometimes be scary, and the development can initially manifest in poor sleep, bad appetite, crying, clinging and crankiness – exhausting and frustrating mom and dad.
By knowing what is going on inside the head of your baby, you can help him to make the leap more easily and stimulate his development. The Oei, ik Groei! app helps new parents by:
- Showing when your baby makes a leap in his mental development
- What your baby can understand & learn after this mental leap
- What your baby can do after this leap
- What you can do to help your baby
International experts on Oei, ik Groei!:
“This is a very practical and entertaining window into the baby’s first year and a half. van de Rijt and Plooij have observed and found the vulnerable times in an infant’s development that I independently came to in my book Touchpoints (Perseus Books Group). The authors’ observations and practical suggestions are wonderful.”
-T. Berry Brazelton, M.D., professor emeritus, Harvard Medical School
"Anyone who deals with infants and young children will want to read Oei, ik Groei!. This book will open parents' eyes to aspects of their children's growth, development, changing behavior, and emotional responsiveness that they might otherwise not notice or find puzzling and distressing."
-Catherine Snow, Ph.D., Shattuck Professor of Education, Harvard Graduate School of Education

I like that the app says when the next jump is and what they learn. Although the jumps are not totally in sync with my daughter.
It describes everything in very much detail and good information.
our baby did not follow this timeline and she was borm on duedate
When you start using the app, you have to fill in your baby's expected due date instead of date of birth. No explanation given as to why this is the case.. so I filled in my baby's birth date as that seemed the only normal thing to do. Only later it became clear why you have to fill in the expected due date (even post giving birth) but now I cannot change it anymore which makes the app quite useless as there's a gap between our baby's due and birth date. Hoping the admin can help me resolve this issue..
This app is easy to use and has some nice tips and tricks for the parents to help your precious one in the different jumps.
Love it! Their support is awesome. They assisted me right away...
Great app! Content which comes from the book is very helpful. Improvements could be made in navigation between topics and possibly references to pages and sections in the book.
