Contact CDC s Milestone Tracker Support

I like this app, but I wish there was a way to let it know that I have already contacted the dr and have entered early intervention. I feel like it constantly notifies me about my son’s delays. It is stressful enough without the frequent reminders, especially since I have already taken the steps to address it.

Why is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention the governing voice for our children and not the American Academy of Pediatrics? And why is the CDC revising the developmental milestones of children to fit the mask wearing agenda and vaccine control of big pharma? Parents, wake up and pay attention!

As a mother of an infant, and as a family doctor, I like the concept of this app. However, in doctor language, the sensitivity of this app is too high and the specificity is too low. If a child is missing any of approximately 10 milestones at each age point, the app labels them as missing milestones and recurrently urges the parent to bring them in for evaluation. My typically developing infant has been labeled as missing milestones at each age cut off, and I suspect 90% of children would. Fortunately, as a doctor, I’m able to recognize that this is a failing of the app, rather than a failing of my child, but a mother without as much medical knowledge could be truly alarmed. It would be far more useful if it used a higher cut off for labeling a child as missing milestones, such as if a child missed multiple milestones at one age group, or was missing milestones of a younger age group. As it is, I would not recommend this to parents. The only reason I gave it two stars instead of one is that it is interesting to see what approximately your child should be learning at their age, as long as you know enough not worry if they are missing one or two skills.
