      • App is not giving me child's development since he’s turned 1
        By SSCV in Toddlers
        Hello !! I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing the lack of uploads on the development of the kids. Since my baby turned 1 the app is not giving me the weekly updates. Is there something wrong?
