Oje, ich Wachse!
Oje, ich Wachse! is now in an Android app! Picking up on the international bestselling book, Oje, ich wachse!, 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 Oje, ich Wachse!. 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 Oje, ich Wachse! 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 Oje, ich Wachse!:
“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 The Wonder Weeks. 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

It's a better version of the app The Wonder Weeks! Very practical, with examples and tipps, it's super helpful and easy to navigate.
I was asked to rate it 5 stars. I rated it 3. Then the devs asked me to send a note to a mail address despite everything had already been said. I downgraded my rating to 1 star.
very accurate helps to understand the baby better
the app is telling me to rate 5 stars. nope.
This is super helpful.
This app is a great help.
Like the information and videos a lot! Thanks for the awesome work*
It's a great addition to the book...
I have been using this app for approx 10 months and it helps calm the nerves, especially for a first time parent, as you can check whether the difficult phase is due to a developmental change or if something else may be bothering the baby. The new version of the app has received a design overhaul which was overdue. It is now easier to navigate, and looks way better. Nevertheless, a few points could be improved: the colours could be stronger, and the legend should be on the same page as the schedule. The translation needs to be reviewed, I am using the German version and have encountered a number of words in the texts that were not translated (especially "him"). Also, some sentences simply don't make sense (e.g. on the intro pages to the new version). Still, the app is great and I wouldn't want to miss it.
The app doesn't contain much tips or information, just the basic content about the milestones of development. No daily or weekly updates.
The app suggest to review it with 5 stars or not to review at all. These are underhanded methods. In my opinion this app is a good guide for parents to understand their child better. A bit of work is necessary to summaries the current development state of the baby. A bit of rework in terms of design could be nice because it looks old. ;)
