About PDF

• Babies grow and change fast in the first 20 months. There are 10 big growth spurts or ‘leaps’ during this time.
• At these leaps babies learn new skills but can get cranky, cry more, and sleep less. This is called a ‘stormy time’.
• The leaps happen around 5, 8, 12, 19, 26, 37, 46, 55, 64, and 75 weeks old. Each leap lasts 6 weeks.
• Knowing when a leap is coming can help parents be patient. The fussy behavior is normal for brain growth.
• After the stormy time, babies come out of the leap happier, with new abilities! Then it’s a ‘sunny time’ until the next leap.
