56 Signs is the offspring of a research project I led at the University of Manitoba, where I taught and studied infant and child development. 

My colleagues and I asked the parents of babies if they would complete a daily checklist diary about their baby’s milestones.  We didn’t know if they would.

More than 500 agreed, and most sent us their checklists for many months. They learned a lot and so did we.

One very clear conclusion was that most parents really enjoy watching for signs of baby progress.

After retiring, I’ve had the time to create a parent tool that builds on what I learned from all those parents.  

That tool is 56 Signs.  I hope you find it useful.

Incidentally, the above photo is of me. Diapers have changed, as have I.
