Sleep & feeds3am

Every nap and feed, logged in a tap. The app watches the wake window for you.

Every parent knows 3am. The app’s sleep tools are built for it: logging you can manage with a baby on one arm, and a live wake window tuned to your child’s exact stage, so you catch the wind-down before the meltdown.

Live wake windows

From “a lovely time to start a nap” to “past the window”: gentle zones, never a countdown clock.

Sleep & feeds, one tap

Breast or bottle, naps and nights: a rolling week of patterns with a daily summary you can actually read.

“Windows are a guide, not a rule. You know your baby best.”

Activity library4pm

Never run out of ideas. An OT-led play library, in your pocket.

The app’s Activities tab holds 85+ OT-written activities, each with the why, the how-to, and easier or harder variations. Don’t take our word for it: this demo runs on the real library.

Milestones & Ask an OTThe wobbles

Milestones without the panic. And a real paediatric OT, only a tap away.

Most milestone apps hand you a deadline and a worry. We don’t. Every child develops at their own pace, so our checkpoints are drawn from typical windows, framed by therapists, and never a verdict.

Calm colours, calm words

“On track”, “worth monitoring”, “consider support”, you’ll never see “delayed” or “failed” anywhere in the app.

Tuned to your child, not the average

Everything adapts to your child’s exact age and stage, including corrected age for babies born early.

What to do, not just what to watch

Every checkpoint links to real OT-written activities, so a “not yet” always comes with a “here’s how to help”.

Send a question, photo or video: a real paediatric OT replies within 24–48 hours, private to you.

“Guidance grounded in how children really develop, never alarmist, never a test. Just calm, practical support for grounded parents.”

Nadine Salama
Paediatric Occupational Therapist · Founder

Every activity, milestone, article and daily tip in Grounded Parenting was written and checked by paediatric occupational therapists. And when you need a human, Ask an OT puts your question in front of one: Nadine’s team replies personally.

Educational information only: the app never replaces individual assessment or therapy.

Who are we looking in on?

Up to five little ones per account: milestones, logs, notes and memory book, each in their own space.

Growth, gently charted

Weight, height and head circumference with trend lines: add whichever measurements you have, one is plenty.

The why behind it all

22 OT-written articles, 5 topic hubs and 36 daily tips: calm answers to the things you google at midnight.

Memory bookAge three

Three years goes fast. The app turns everything you log into a book.

The memory book writes itself

Every milestone you log, every photo, every 3am note finds its way into the book, auto-assembled into chapters like “Welcome to the World” and “Big Milestones”, with a growth timeline threaded through. Make it yours, then print it, share it, keep it.

“Little notes that become the loveliest pages.”

Questions, answered calmly

Is Grounded Parenting medical advice?

No. Everything in the app is educational information written by paediatric occupational therapists. It never replaces individual assessment or therapy. If something genuinely needs a professional’s eyes, the app points you towards the right support rather than away from it.

My baby was born early. Will the milestones be wrong for us?

They’ll be right for you. Add your due date during setup and everything (milestones, stages, wake windows, activities) runs on corrected age, counted from the due date rather than the birth date. Expecting? A due date works too; the app is ready from day one.

What happens after the 7-day free trial?

Your trial starts with full access and no payment due today. On day 5 we remind you it’s ending, and on day 7 your plan begins at $12.99/month. You can cancel anytime through the App Store or Google Play, right up to the last minute.

Who actually answers my Ask-an-OT questions?

A real paediatric occupational therapist: Nadine and the OT team personally review every question, photo and video you send, and reply within 24–48 hours. Your questions stay private to you and the OT team.

Can I use it for more than one child?

Yes, up to five little ones per account. Each child gets their own space: their own milestones, logs, saved activities, notes and memory book, all shaped to their exact age and stage.

Is my family’s data safe?

Your logs, photos and notes are private by default. You can download everything you’ve ever added with one tap, and deleting your account permanently removes all data and media from our servers. The details live in our privacy policy.

Begin tonight. The 3am version of you will be glad.
