Stage three · the first year

The first year, made legible

Illustration of sage circles scattered across a cream ground, a newborn drawn as a flat cream shape resting in the largest.

Once they are here the navigation widens again — sleep, logging, milestones, care — and sage takes over from terracotta. Two taps to log a feed or a nap, and then the app does the reading for you: what the week actually looked like, and roughly when the next wake window closes.

Sleep, read back to you

Night and day sleep charted across the week, with the wake window your own logs suggest and the rough nights marked so a blip is legible next to a regression.

The regression radar

Sleep cycles mature between week 14 and 17, so the four-month shift is forecast three weeks early — with a plan, instead of a 2am search history.

Development, as ranges

Milestones drawn as windows, never deadlines, with one small thing to try today and a clear line about when a slow one is worth mentioning.

A care library that follows the baby

Skin and cradle cap, hips and safe carrying, tummy time and head shape, reflux, vitamin D and feeding cues — surfaced when your baby is the right age for it.

In the app today

  • Feed, sleep and nappy logging in two taps
  • Sleep analytics across the week
  • Wake-window predictions from your own logs
  • Six developmental phases across the first year
  • Milestones and a written care library

How the stage moves

The app moves here on your baby’s birthday — the real one, whenever it turns out to be, because babies arrive early, arrive late, and arrive second.

The other two stages

babybub gives general information and a place to keep your own records. It is not a medical device and it does not diagnose anything. Always ring your midwife, child health nurse or GP if something worries you.
