Does anyone follow them? Have you found them to be accurate?
DS2 is supposedly going through his second leap, and one of the signs is constant nursing for comfort. This would explain why he's constantly attached to me, and has been waking up every hour at night, only settling down once I nurse him...which is not a habit I want to start.
If it's a leap, there's a light at the end of the tunnel, right? RIGHT? Or is it all a scam?
ETA a missing period because punctuation is important!

Yes! DB is also going through his second leap and has been super fussy and sleeping more than usual. Three more days until it's over!
I found the first leap to be pretty accurate, too, especially as far as the abilities he had after the leap- looking at things, eye contact, social smiles...
We are just starting the second leap today. LO hasn't been too fussy yet, but it is day one. She has been sleepier though. We found the first leap completely accurate. MH thought I was nuts when I said on this certain day she won't be fussy anymore and sure enough that's what happened. He was amazed.
LO was pretty sleepy/fussy today. If I go by her birth date, she's starting a leap in two days. If I go by her due date like I'm supposed to, it's not for another week.
I found it lines up with her actual birth date more, which I've heard from a few people.

I got the app and the book. Haven't read as much as I want to, but it seems to line up. Not quite to the day though. But DS is going through the second leap like others here. Super super fussy and wants to nurse ALL THE TIME, but doesn't really want to eat necessarily. He roots like crazy! He is much more sleepy, but is not sleeping as well, which sucks. I feel like I'm constantly laying him down for a nap, and then 20 minutes later he is waking back up.
I followed them more closely with DS, so this time around I've kind of just accepted unanswerable fussier days as developmental spurts. I actually just said to H maybe 15 minutes ago that I think she's going through another one now after a physical growth spurt last week!

We just finished the first leap a couple of days ago. J is just as fussy if not fussier than he was during it, so I am not sure how accurate it is for us here.

This is exactly my life right now, too!
We are just finishing the first leap and dealing with these same things.

I didn't put too much stock I'm them with DS but I got the app this time. So far leap 2 (which we're in) was very noticeably stormy at the beginning. I was like well yep, we're in a developmental leap.
With DD her Wonder Weeks were 3 days to a week later than the schedule. But otherwise they were pretty accurate as far as behavior and abilities. So far with this LO, the dates have lined up pretty well.

+1 for lining up more with actual birth date.
For us, it lines up more with her actual due date. But she was also 5 weeks early....not just a few days.

We are in leap #2. He is scared and startled quite easily. He is much more aware of sights and sounds. Some days he has been fussier than others. He wants to comfort nurse more often. It hasn't been too bad. I am enjoying all the smiles we have been getting.
Finished the first leap a few days ago, and I felt like it was right on in terms of signs and abilities. I do feel like DS has been less fussy since he completed it, but he's still pretty clingy. I'm interested to see if the next leap is just as accurate
they so far aren't accurate for me based on LOs due date. this week she has been a dream. less fussy, sleeping well, smiling and napping great but if i check the app it says we are in the middle of a stormy period.
ill try switching it to her birth date and see how that goes
So according to the app we are in the middle of the second leap. Baby girl is looking at EVERYTHING and she figured out how to use her hands some. She also discovered her clothes for the first time today. So. Cute.
The first leap was right on in terms of "storminess". Now that we're in the second leap DD has not gotten any fussier. She is lifting and holding her head up really well, though. & I don't know if this counts, but she's started figuring out how to push her pacifier back in when it's falling out.
