The First Map
A gentle, illustrated guide to your baby’s ten developmental leaps, from week 5 to week 75. Print it, keep it close by, and know that every storm ends in a new skill.
It is three in the morning. Last week your baby slept peacefully; tonight nothing works. She isn’t sick, she isn’t hungry, she just changed. In the first eighteen months a baby’s brain reorganises ten times, and each change can feel like a storm. The First Map walks you through all ten, calmly.
What’s inside
All ten leaps, one per page
What changes in each one, from week 5 to week 75, in plain language.
The three C’s, explained
Why more crying, clinginess and worse sleep tend to arrive together.
How to walk through a leap
Closeness as fuel, keeping the outside world predictable, sharing the load.
A keepsake to print
A calm, illustrated companion to keep forever.
