A calm companion for parents tracking child development. CDC-aligned milestones, built-in age correction for preterm babies, and clear summaries you can share with your pediatrician — designed to celebrate the small moments, not score them.
Most milestone trackers feel like a test. Tendling is built around how parents actually parent — paying attention to the small things, then knowing when one of them is worth a conversation.
The opposite of "is my baby ahead?" optimization. Every kid blooms in their own time. We help you notice the small wins, not score them against averages.
For babies born preterm, Tendling adjusts the milestone timeline based on gestational age, per AAP guidance. Sliding correction window through age 2 (or age 3 for very preterm). No spreadsheets.
Tap any term — Cognitive, Fine motor, Act-early — to see what it actually means in everyday words. A built-in glossary translates the pediatric vocabulary parents are expected to already know.
One tap generates a clean visit summary you can hand to your pediatrician at the next appointment. Patient header, milestone coverage, act-early items grouped by age threshold. No exporting CSVs.
When something needs a closer look, find pediatric specialists in your area — speech pathologists, OTs, PTs, developmental pediatricians, audiologists. Real US-licensed providers from the NPPES registry.
Every milestone comes from the CDC's "Learn the Signs. Act Early." catalog (2022 update). Used by pediatricians for over twenty years. The act-early indicators are pre-flagged at the right thresholds.
Tendling fits into the rhythm of being a parent. No daily quizzes, no notifications guilting you. Just the moments worth noticing.
Just date of birth, sex, and (if applicable) gestational age. Takes 30 seconds.
Tap a milestone when you see it. Mark Observed, Emerging, or Not yet. No pressure to be exhaustive.
When something feels worth bringing up, share a clean summary at the next appointment.
Tendling helps you notice patterns and have informed conversations. It does not diagnose or treat conditions. Your pediatrician remains the source of medical advice. Built by parents, for parents — alongside the CDC's developmental milestones catalog and AAP guidance for adjusted-age handling.
Tendling is in private beta on iOS. Join the waitlist for early access.
