What exactly is a Wonder Week?

Hi, thank you for your question! Dr Frans Plooij answered your question on live stream: The Wonder Weeks is a bestselling infant development book. It is based on the premise that at specific stages, all babies go through difficult periods & are characterised by the 3 C’s - Crying, Clingy, & Cranky. Out of the blue, babies may appear difficult, and parents start wondering and doubting their parenting skills. Dr Frans Plooij (co-author of The Wonder Weeks) says that nothing is wrong with your baby, it’s the leaps your baby goes through when going through development. For most parents, it is very comforting to know that it is not their parenting that causes their children to be difficult, but is indeed a result and a part of a child’s development.
