Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I know if my baby is hitting milestones on time?

Every baby develops at their own pace, but there are certain 'windows' for each milestone. Our app combines global standards like ASQ-3 and Denver II to give you a personalized development report.

What should I do if I suspect a delay?

Early detection is the most important step. Use DaMilestone to perform an initial screen, and if any red flags appear, consult your pediatrician immediately with the report generated by the app.

Is the assessment in the app professional?

The app is a screening tool based on clinically validated developmental scales. While it provides high-accuracy insights, it is intended to complement, not replace, professional medical diagnosis.

My child is suddenly crying at night or sleeping poorly. Is this related to development?

Night waking in toddlers can be linked to physical growth, developing bladder control, or 'sensory overload' from the day's experiences. Consistent routines help. Learn more in our Parent Support Guide.

What should I do if my family dismisses my concerns?

Family denial is common. We recommend sharing objective data from standardized scales like ASQ-3. Professional assessment results are often more convincing than personal observations. Check our communication guide.
