Today's progress
How today is tracking against what is typical for this age.

Trends
Nothing logged in the last few weeks. Once you log on the Today tab, sleep, naps and anything else you track show here day by day, so slow changes are easy to spot.
Sick day
Temperatures and symptoms, with what the AAP says to do at Rowan’s age.
Nothing logged in the last 3 days. On a sick day, log temperatures and symptoms as you go, to see what the AAP says and to tell the doctor exactly what happened.
When to get help
- Call 911: can't be woken, too weak to move, severe trouble breathing, or purple or blood-colored spots on the skin.
- Go to the ER now: a stiff neck, a seizure with the fever, hard to wake up or confused, or (under 1 year) a bulging soft spot.
- Call the doctor now: looks very ill, trouble breathing, unusual sleepiness or fussiness, an unexplained rash, repeated vomiting or diarrhea, signs of dehydration, severe sore throat, trouble swallowing or ear pain, pain when peeing, can't move an arm or leg normally, has been somewhere very hot (like a hot car), shaking chills lasting more than 30 minutes, or a fever with a heart problem or a weak immune system.
- Under 3 months: a temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher means calling the doctor now, even if your baby seems fine.
Medicine doses come from your child's doctor or the package; CradleOn doesn't give doses. The AAP says never to give a child aspirin, ibuprofen isn't for babies under 6 months, and under 12 weeks no fever medicine before your baby is seen.
General information from the AAP, not a diagnosis. Your doctor knows your child best.
Teething
When: First teeth usually come in between 6 and 10 months. Teething discomfort can start weeks or months before, possibly as early as 3 months.
Fussiness, drooling, chewing on things, and a drool rash around the mouth.
What helps
- A firm rubber teething ring (not liquid-filled, and not frozen solid).
- A clean, chilled, damp washcloth to chew on.
- Rubbing the gums gently with a clean finger.
- Pain medicine only if your child's doctor advises it, at their dose.
What to avoid
- Numbing gels with benzocaine or lidocaine. The FDA warns benzocaine can cause a rare, serious drop in blood oxygen, and lidocaine can cause seizures and heart problems.
- Homeopathic teething tablets.
- Amber, wood or bead teething necklaces and bracelets: the FDA has reports of deaths from strangling and choking.
The AAP says teething doesn't cause a true fever. At 100.4°F (38°C) or higher it's likely an illness, so call your pediatrician.

The line is just the numbers you typed, no percentiles, and no verdict on whether a weight is where it should be. Your pediatrician plots growth properly at checkups and is the person to ask about it.

Due now
What happens
- Height, weight and , plotted on a growth chart
- Blood pressure
- A vision test with an eye chart
- A hearing test with headphones (audiometry)
- Questions about how your child moves, plays, talks and learns
- Questions about lead and cholesterol risk
- An oral health check, including whether your child sees a dentist
- Fluoride varnish painted on the teeth (every 3 to 6 months once teeth are in)
- Questions about how your family is doing, including your own well-being
Vaccines commonly given
- DTaP (5th dose, at 4 to 6 years)
- Polio () (last dose, at 4 to 6 years)
- (2nd dose, at 4 to 6 years)
- Chickenpox (varicella) (2nd dose, at 4 to 6 years)
- Flu (yearly, in flu season)
Vaccine schedules vary, and since 2025 the American Academy of Pediatrics and CDC have published different ones. This list follows the AAP schedule and shows what's commonly given, but the exact timing and brands differ between practices. Your pediatrician will confirm what's due at each visit. RSV protection for babies depends on the season and on whether an RSV vaccine was given in pregnancy. If a dose is missed or you're behind, catch-up is possible, and the series doesn't need to start over.
Questions to ask
- Is our child on track for kindergarten?
- How do we teach body safety and naming private parts?
- How do we handle fears, nightmares or fibbing?
- When is our child ready for a booster seat?
Teeth and the dentist
- Book the first dental visit by the first birthday, or within 6 months of the first tooth, whichever comes first.
- After that, a checkup about every 6 months, or as often as your dentist suggests.
- Fluoride varnish, painted on at the pediatrician's or dentist's office, helps prevent cavities from the first tooth. It's usually repeated every 3 to 6 months.
- Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste: a smear the size of a grain of rice under 3, and a pea-sized amount from 3.
- Brush last thing at night, after the last food or drink of the day.
Today’s read
A myth, a question and some good news, new each day.
Mythbuster
“A show before bed helps children wind down.”
What’s true
Screens close to bedtime are linked to falling asleep later and sleeping less well. The advises turning screens off at least an hour before bed and keeping them out of bedrooms.
PromisingHow sure is this correction?
Some good quality research supports this, but it is not settled science.
This rating is for the correction above, not the myth.
Question of the day
When can I start using time-outs?
Brief time-outs can work from around two, once a child understands simple rules. Use a quiet, boring spot for about one minute per year of age, and stay calm. They work best when there is plenty of warm attention the rest of the time. From three, you can let them return when they feel ready.
Good news
Childhood vaccines have saved an estimated 154 million lives over the past 50 years, 101 million of them babies.
WHO, 2024Toddler years
From first birthday to kindergarten: checkups, safety, sleep and the big steps, surfaced as each one comes up.
Safety
- Stay rear-facing until the seat's limitOverdueTurn the seat forward only once they reach the highest rear-facing height or weight the seat allows. For many convertible seats that's well past age 2. Bent legs are fine.
- Use a booster only once the harness is outgrownA five-point harness is safest for as long as it fits, at least to age 4 and often to 5 or beyond. Move to a booster only when they pass the forward-facing harness limits.
- Teach their full name and your phone numberPractice it as a song or game. Also teach them who to ask for help if they get lost, like a parent with children or someone at a checkout.
Health
- Flu shot this seasonEvery fall, ideally by the end of October. Worth doing before they start school and meet a lot more germs.
- Hearing test at the 4 year checkupA quick screen with headphones. Ask sooner if you have any worries about their speech or hearing.
Big steps
- Register for kindergartenUsually in the spring before they start. Check your district's age cutoff and what documents you'll need, like proof of address and vaccination records.
