What you're buying

The two tiers compared side by side, with a one-line decision rule.

Baby Acrobatics comes in two tiers, and the short version is this: the Blueprint is the written system you work through yourself, and the Movement Mastery Method is the same system with an adaptive weekly routine, video, and a course on top. Both are a one-time purchase with lifetime access. The real difference is how much you put together yourself versus how much is planned for you. If you only want the bottom line: Blueprint for a reference library you run at your own pace, Movement Mastery if you want to be told what to do today and have it keep up as your baby grows. The Blueprint - $49 A self-guided foundation. You get: The full written guide, organized by developmental stage The complete exercise library - 90+ exercises with photo references 5 starter routines: Newborn Gentle Start, Morning Wake-Up, Tummy Time Toolkit, Happy Tummy, and Bedtime Wind-Down Lifetime access in the web app This fits if you already feel comfortable shaping your own daily rhythm, or if you want to start small and decide about upgrading later. The Blueprint does not include the adaptive weekly routine. The 5 routines above are fixed starting points, not a program that changes week to week. If the changing weekly plan is what you're after, read Does the Blueprint include the weekly routine?. The Movement Mastery Method - $247 Everything in the Blueprint, plus the parts that do the planning for you: A weekly routine that rebuilds itself around your baby's age every week Real-baby video demonstrations across the exercise library The Movement Foundations video course - 20+ lessons from newborn through first steps A bonus library of supporting guides Pick this if you'd rather watch a real baby do the movement than read it, and you want a plan that keeps moving without you redoing it each week. Which one do you need? Both tiers cover the same age range and run on the same exercise system. Movement Mastery is not harder or more advanced content. It's the same content delivered for you, with video and the course added. You want a library to pull from on your own schedule → Blueprint You want a plan that updates itself as your baby grows → Movement Mastery A few things worth knowing Neither is a subscription. You pay once. See Is this a subscription?. You can start on the Blueprint and upgrade later for the $198 difference, not the full price again. The steps are in Can I upgrade from Blueprint to Mastery?. Both come with a 30-day refund window, no reason needed. See How the refund window works. When the tier isn't the real question If your baby is already past 12 months, age fit matters more than which tier you pick. Read Is it too late if my baby is older? first, then decide whether either tier is the right buy right now.

Blueprint vs Movement Mastery - what's the difference?

Short answer and where the weekly routine actually lives.

The Blueprint gives you 5 starter routines plus the full exercise library, so you have every exercise to work with. The one piece it doesn't include is the adaptive weekly routine that auto-advances with your baby's age. That part is a Movement Mastery feature. Here's exactly what each tier gives you and what to do next. What the Blueprint includes 5 starter routines - Newborn Gentle Start, Morning Wake-Up, Tummy Time Toolkit, Happy Tummy, and Bedtime Wind-Down. These are fixed. They don't change week to week, and not every one fits every stage, so you pick the ones that match your baby. The full exercise library - every exercise with photos and written instructions. You choose and order them yourself. The written, illustrated guide, organised by developmental stage. There's no "this week" screen that updates on its own. You drive it. What's Movement Mastery only The adaptive weekly routine - it advances each week based on your baby's current age, so you open it and follow what's set for that week instead of building the plan yourself. Real-baby video demonstrations across the library (about 88 of the 93 exercises have video). The Movement Foundations video course (20+ lessons) and the bonus resource library. For the full side-by-side, see Blueprint vs Movement Mastery. What to do if you wanted the weekly routine You have three options. Pick whichever fits. 1. Keep the Blueprint and use it as a library. The 5 starter routines plus the exercise library cover the same exercises as the weekly routine. The difference is that you pick and sequence them yourself rather than having a plan handed to you. For some parents that's plenty. 2. Upgrade to Movement Mastery. You don't buy it again - your $49 counts toward the $247, so you pay the $198 difference. To do it yourself: 1. Open the video course or the Movement Mastery page in the app. 2. Tap Get Movement Mastery . 3. Pay the difference by card. Your access opens up right away, and the weekly routine, video lessons, and bonus library show up. Full steps and what's included are in Can I upgrade from Blueprint to Mastery?. 3. Get a refund. If the weekly routine was the whole reason you bought and neither of the above works for you, the 30-day money-back guarantee applies. Email support@babyacrobatics.com from the address you bought with. A refund closes the whole account, so you'd lose the Blueprint too. See How the refund window works. When this doesn't apply If you bought Movement Mastery and the weekly routine isn't showing, that's a different issue, usually a stale view. Pull down to refresh, or fully close and reopen the app. If it's still missing, see Why hasn't my routine updated? or email support@babyacrobatics.com with your receipt.

Does Blueprint include the adaptive weekly routine?

Honest framing on what Baby Acrobatics offers at different ages.

It's not too late, and there's a lot here for your baby right now. Baby Acrobatics covers the first 18 months, so a 7-month-old, an 11-month-old, and a 15-month-old each have content built for their stage. The program runs densest in the 3-10 month range, so an older baby has more of the early floor-time material already behind them. What's left for them is the part of the program written for where they are, and there's plenty of it. You don't need to have started at birth. It's designed to be picked up at any point in that window. How the program covers different ages The exercises and weekly routine move through three stages as your baby grows: 0-6 months - early floor time, tummy time, rolling, reaching, head and neck control. 6-12 months - sitting, crawling, transitions, pulling to stand, climbing. 12-18 months - balance, walking, squatting, climbing, jumping prep, and the more acrobatic work. So a 14-month-old hasn't aged out of anything. They're right in the stage the later exercises were written for. The newborn material is what they've moved past, not the program itself. If your baby is 8-22 months Most of the library still applies to your baby. Balance, climbing, hanging with an active grip, walking practice, and the acrobatic transitions all sit in the second half of the program, and that's exactly where an older baby starts. You'll spend less time on the early-stage exercises than a younger baby would, which is just what you'd expect. If your baby is already walking confidently, the value shifts toward the balance and acrobatic work, since the crawling and rolling foundations are largely behind them. Not sure which tier to start with? See The Blueprint vs Movement Mastery. The Blueprint ($49) gives you the full written library and 5 starter routines for a lower spend, and you can upgrade to Mastery later by paying the difference if you want the video course and adaptive weekly routine. Finding the exercises that fit your baby Inside the app, the Exercise Library helps you zero in on what's useful right now: 1. Open Exercise Library from the menu. 2. Use the phase filter (Connection, Warmup, Mobility, Strength, Acrobatic, Cooldown) to narrow by type, or use search to find an exercise by name. 3. If your baby's profile is set up, the library sorts the exercises that match their current stage to the top. 4. Tap the heart on any exercise to add it to Favourites so you can come back to it. If you have Movement Mastery, the adaptive weekly routine does this for you. It reads your baby's birthdate and builds the week's set around their current stage, so you're not guessing. A few practical notes Born early? Mark it on the child profile so the routine matches their adjusted age. Go to Settings , open or add the child, tick "My baby was born early (before 37 weeks)" , and enter the gestational weeks. See Premature and corrected age. If you buy and the content doesn't fit your baby's stage, the 30-day refund applies, no reason needed. See How the refund window works. If your baby has a flagged developmental delay or a diagnosed condition, your pediatrician or PT is the right starting point, not this program. See When to consult your pediatrician, not us. When this doesn't apply If your baby is under a year and you're worried about being "behind" because you started late, you're not. The early material holds up from any starting point, and babies keep building motor skills well past their first birthday.

Is it too late if my baby is already older?

Yes - from day one. Where to begin and how gentle to keep it.

Yes. You can start from day one, and you don't need to wait for your baby to be "ready." Baby Acrobatics is built for the whole first stretch of life, so the newborn weeks have a gentle starting point of their own. There's no minimum age and no milestone you have to reach first. A newborn's work is small and slow, and that's exactly how it should be: a little tummy time on your chest, soft limb movements, being carried in different positions, time on the floor out of a seat or swing. That's the foundation everything else builds on. Where to start with a newborn 1. Open the app and add your baby with their real birthdate (in Settings, under Children). The program uses that date to keep the activities matched to their stage. 2. Begin with the Newborn Gentle Start routine. It's short, calm, and made for these early weeks. 3. Keep sessions tiny. A newborn tires fast, so a couple of minutes at a time, a few times a day, works better than one long session. Stop whenever they've had enough. 4. Do tummy time chest-to-chest at first. Lying on your chest while you're propped up counts, and it's gentler on a newborn than the floor. A few things that matter early Follow your baby, not the clock. Fussing that settles is fine. Hard crying or pulling away is your cue to stop and come back later. Support the head and neck. Newborns have no head control yet, so in every position you'll be supporting it for them. You won't fall behind by going slow. The goal isn't to push milestones early. It's to give your baby room and gentle input so movement develops the way it's meant to, in its own time. If your baby was premature Use corrected age, not calendar age, so the activities match where your baby actually is. The app handles the math once you mark them premature. See my baby was premature: which age does the routine use?. What you don't need No equipment, no special space, no prior experience. A clear patch of floor, a blanket, and a few minutes are all it takes. When you're ready to see how the week-to-week plan grows from here, see how the weekly routine works.

Can I start with a newborn? What's the youngest age?

What the program covers, and the honest answer on older ages.

Baby Acrobatics is built around the first stretch of movement development, roughly birth through the first year and a half. That's when the big foundations form: head control, rolling, sitting, crawling, pulling up, the early steps. The weekly routine and the Exercise Library are richest here, and that's who the program is designed for. There isn't a separate toddler or preschool program in the product today. So if your child is past that window, here's the honest picture of what still fits. If your child is past that window Plenty of the movement work still applies after 18 months: balance, climbing, hanging, coordination play. The program isn't a waste for an older child, the fit is just narrower, and you'll skip more of it than the parent of a younger baby would. If you want to try it, start with the Blueprint at $49 rather than The Movement Mastery Method. You get the full Exercise Library for the lower spend, you can pick the pieces that suit where your child is, and there's a 30-day refund if it turns out not to fit. See is it too late if my baby is already older? for an honest read on what works at different ages, and Blueprint vs Movement Mastery to compare the two tiers. Want to be told if a toddler program arrives? We won't promise a date, because we don't make up timelines. If a toddler-focused program is something you'd want, send a note through the contact form. Requests like that genuinely shape what gets built, and we can let you know directly if it happens.

Is there a version for toddlers or older kids?

Baby Acrobatics is fully digital. Here's where it lives, how you log in, and how to add it to your home screen.

Baby Acrobatics is fully digital. A native Baby Acrobatics app is in the works. It is not in the App Store or Play Store yet, so for now you use Baby Acrobatics as a web app. You open it in your browser at guide.babyacrobatics.com and add it to your home screen, where it gets its own icon and opens full-screen. It looks and works just like a native app. Nothing ships in the mail, and there is no separate PDF or Amazon listing to track down. "Blueprint" and "Guide" both sound like books, so it is reasonable to expect something printed. They name the system you follow, not a physical object. What you actually get An account at guide.babyacrobatics.com, tied to the email you used at checkout. Passwordless login: we email you a magic link, you tap it, you're in. No password to remember. The full guide, exercise library, and routines, all inside the web app. The option to add the app to your home screen. See Install the app on iPhone or Android. That's the whole thing. It lives in your account, so your progress follows you across phone, tablet, and laptop. If you were hoping for a printed book We don't offer a print-on-demand version or a paperback. The exercise library keeps changing as we add and update content, so anything printed would be out of date the day it shipped. If you bought thinking it was a physical book and that's not what you want, the 30-day refund window covers you, no reason needed. See The 30-day refund window. If you just want something on paper for sessions away from your phone, you can have that. Each routine has a Download printable PDF button built into the routine view. Tap it to get a clean PDF of that session's exercises, which you can save, print, or hand to a grandparent or babysitter. One catch: skip your browser's own print menu on the routine view, since it comes out blank. Use the button instead. Full steps are in Print or export your routine. When this doesn't apply Searching the Apple App Store or Google Play for "Baby Acrobatics" turns up nothing yet, and that's expected while the native app is still on the way. For now you add the web app to your home screen instead, which we walk through in Can't find the app in the App Store.

Is Baby Acrobatics a paperback book or digital?

All of the above - and how to find each piece.

Baby Acrobatics is a web app. You open it in your browser at guide.babyacrobatics.com, log in with your email, and the content is right there. You can also add it to your phone's home screen so it opens with one tap, like a regular app. You get written guides, photo-and-text exercise instructions, video lessons, and follow-along routines, all in one place and tied to your account.

It looks and works just like a native app. What the content actually looks like The format depends on which tier you bought, but inside the app you'll find a mix of these: Written guides. The Movement Guide reads chapter by chapter, organized by your baby's developmental stage. Photo + written exercise instructions. Every exercise has step-by-step text and a photo reference. Most exercises (around 88 of 93) also have a video. Video lessons. Movement Mastery includes the Movement Foundations course, a 20+ lesson video curriculum, plus real-baby demonstration clips across the exercise library. Videos stream from inside the app, so you watch them where they sit. You don't download them. Routines. These are interactive, not video files. You scroll through the exercises for the day and follow along. The Blueprint is mostly written guides, photo references, and 5 starter routines (Newborn Gentle Start, Morning Wake-Up, Tummy Time Toolkit, Happy Tummy, Bedtime Wind-Down). Movement Mastery adds the videos, the adaptive weekly routine, and the bonus library. For the full breakdown, see Blueprint vs Movement Mastery. Getting in after you buy 1. Buy through the website. You'll get an email with a login link. 2. Open guide.babyacrobatics.com and enter your email. 3. Check your inbox for the link, then tap "Access your guide". That signs you in. 4.

What format is Baby Acrobatics - PDF, video, app?

Yes - one-time payment, no recurring charge.

Baby Acrobatics is a one-time purchase with lifetime access. Both the Blueprint and the Movement Mastery Method are charged once at checkout. There's no subscription, no auto-renewal, and no expiry date on your account. You pay once, and your access stays with you. What "lifetime access" means here One charge, at checkout. You're billed a single time and never again. No expiry. Your account doesn't lapse after a year, or any other window. New content is included. When exercises, lessons, or guides get added to the tier you own, they show up in your account at no extra cost. Same account on every device. Log in on your phone, a tablet, or a laptop, and your saved exercises and progress follow you. More on that in Using your account on more than one device. The edges of "lifetime" Two things lifetime access doesn't cover, so nothing catches you off guard. Moving up a tier is a separate purchase. If you go from the Blueprint up to the Movement Mastery Method, you pay the $198 difference one time, not a recurring fee. See Can I upgrade from Blueprint to Movement Mastery?. A refund closes your account. If you ask for a refund inside the 30-day window, your money comes back and your access ends together, since a refund covers the whole account rather than one part of it. That means there's no way to refund the upgrade and keep the Blueprint. You can read the details in How the refund window works. Lifetime tracks the life of the product. As long as Baby Acrobatics is running, your one purchase keeps your access. There's no separate clock counting down on your account. Looking for the cancel button? Your purchase is one-time, so nothing rebills and there's nothing to cancel. Once you buy, it's yours to keep. If you do spot a repeating charge from us on your statement, it's worth a closer look. A single purchase from Baby Acrobatics shows up as one charge and doesn't repeat. If you see more than one, check the merchant name on the line item first, since it may be a different company. If it really is us charging you twice, that's a mistake we want to fix. Send the receipt or the statement line through the contact form, or email support@babyacrobatics.com, and we'll sort it out. Want to double-check your own purchase? Open the Stripe receipt that landed in your inbox after you bought. A one-time purchase reads as a single payment, not a subscription with a renewal date. If anything on it looks like a recurring plan, reply to that receipt or use the contact form with the receipt attached, and we'll confirm what you were actually charged.

Do I get lifetime access?

Yes - you pay only the difference. Here's how.

Yes. You can move up from the Blueprint to the Movement Mastery Method whenever you like, and you only pay the difference, not the full price a second time. The Movement Mastery Method is $247. Your $49 Blueprint is already credited toward that, so the upgrade costs $198. It's self-serve and takes a couple of minutes inside the app. Prefer a hand? We're glad to set it up for you. How to upgrade in the app 1. Sign in at guide.babyacrobatics.com. If you're signed out, tap "Sign In With Email Link", enter your email, and open the magic link we send. 2. In the menu, tap "Movement Foundations" (the 📹 item). 3. As a Blueprint owner, that opens the upgrade page titled "Upgrade to Movement Mastery". You'll see the $198 price with your $49 Blueprint already credited. 4. Enter your card details right there and tap the pay button. The checkout happens inside the app, so you stay on the page. 5. After it goes through, you'll see "Access activated" and the app opens the video course. Same account, same login, nothing new to set up. If you'd like us to handle it, email support@babyacrobatics.com from the address you used at checkout and we'll switch it on for you. Everything you've already done in the Blueprint stays put. Your saved exercises (the heart on each one) and any progress carry over to the same account. The Movement Mastery features just become available alongside what you had. What the $198 adds The adaptive weekly routine that updates as your baby grows Real-baby video demonstrations across the exercise library The Movement Foundations video course (20+ lessons) The bonus resource library For a side-by-side breakdown, see Blueprint vs Movement Mastery. If the weekly routine is the reason you're upgrading, Does the Blueprint include the weekly routine? covers exactly what changes. Is there a discount or a free trial? There's no separate trial, and the upgrade isn't a subscription. It's a one-time $198 payment with lifetime access. The discount is already built in: you pay the difference rather than buying Movement Mastery from scratch. We sometimes run a seasonal promotion, and if one is live the upgrade page shows the reduced price automatically. If it doesn't, there isn't one running. Instead of a trial, you have the 30-day money-back window below. The refund window on the upgrade The upgrade carries the same 30-day money-back window, no reason needed. One thing to know before you decide: a refund ends access to the whole program, not just the parts you added. There's no "refund the upgrade but keep the Blueprint" option. A refund suspends the account. If you're on the fence, email support@babyacrobatics.com and we'll talk it through first. Policy details are in The 30-day refund window. When this doesn't apply If you bought Movement Mastery directly instead of starting with the Blueprint, there's nothing to upgrade. You already have all of it. If you're past the 30-day window on your original Blueprint purchase, the upgrade still works exactly the same way. Open the Movement Foundations page and pay the $198 difference.

Checkout & billing

The receipt isn't the login link. Where to find the actual access email.

Good news first: if your payment went through, your access is on its way. It just lives in a separate sign-in email, not in your receipt. We know it's stressful to pay and then come up empty, so here's exactly where to look. After checkout we send you two emails : 1. The Stripe receipt - this confirms your payment. It's just a record. It doesn't hold the program or a login link. 2. The sign-in email - a separate email from "Baby Acrobatics" with the subject "Your Baby Acrobatics Login Link" and an "Access your guide" button. This is the one that opens the program. If you only see the receipt 1. Search your inbox for "Baby Acrobatics" or the subject "Your Baby Acrobatics Login Link". 2. Check spam, promotions, and any "Updates" tab. Sign-in emails sometimes land there. 3. Give it a minute or two if you just checked out. The sign-in email is sent on its own and can lag the receipt a little. If the sign-in email still isn't there You can pull up a fresh one yourself. Go to guide.babyacrobatics.com, enter the email you used at checkout, and tap "Sign In With Email Link." A new sign-in email gets generated. Open the link from any inbox, on any device, and the device where you entered your email signs in. If nothing arrives after a second try, the usual reason is a small typo in the email you entered at checkout. See I typed my email wrong at checkout. If your payment didn't go through at all, see I bought it but can't get a payment to complete. What you're looking for once you're in There's no PDF attachment, no App Store download, and nothing shipped. The program lives in the web app at guide.babyacrobatics.com. Once you sign in on a device, it stays signed in for about a month before it asks for a fresh link. You can add it to your home screen for one-tap access. See how to install the app. For more on the format, see what format is the product.

I paid - where do I access the course?

Quick fix - contact support with your receipt and we'll move your access.

This is a quick fix on our end. Email support@babyacrobatics.com with three things and we'll move your access to the correct address, usually within a business day. What to send 1. Your Stripe receipt number , or just forward the receipt email you got after paying. 2. The email you actually typed at checkout - the one with the typo in it. 3. The correct email you want the account moved to. That's all we need to find the purchase and switch the address. You don't have to remember the exact day you bought or which card you used. What happens next Once we move the account, here's how to get in: 1. Go to guide.babyacrobatics.com. 2. Type your correct email into the "Enter your email" box. 3. Tap Sign In With Email Link . 4. Open the email from Baby Acrobatics (subject: "Your Baby Acrobatics Login Link") and tap Access your guide . You're in. Your purchase, your child profile, and any progress you'd already started stay attached to the account. Nothing gets reset. What if the typo'd address is actually a real inbox? Sometimes the typo lands on an inbox you can still open. If you can get into it, log in there for now and everything works normally. Still send us the swap, though, so future login links go to the email you actually check. I used the totally wrong email, not just a typo Same process, same email to support. If you'd rather move the whole purchase to a partner's address or a different account, see how to move my purchase to a different email. Why this happens Stripe Checkout charges your card without asking you to type your email a second time. One slip - yourname@gmial.com instead of gmail.com, or gmail.con instead of gmail.com - and the receipt and login link both go to an inbox you can't open. It's a common one, and we fix it all the time. No need to buy again or start over.

I typed my email wrong at checkout

It's a one-time purchase, so nothing renews and there's nothing to cancel. Here's how to confirm you won't be charged again.

Baby Acrobatics is a one-time purchase, so nothing renews and there's nothing to cancel. You pay once and your access stays. The charge you saw on your statement is the whole thing. You won't be billed next month, next year, or ever. The one exception is if you decide to upgrade later, say from The Blueprint to The Movement Mastery Method. Even that is a separate one-time payment you start yourself by paying the $198 difference. Nothing bills on its own. Why people ask Checkout runs on Stripe, which a lot of subscription apps also use. So a Stripe receipt can look like the start of something ongoing. In this case it isn't. The product is sold once, and your access stays on your account. How to confirm you won't be charged again If you'd like to double-check, here are three quick ways: Look at your receipt. It's labelled "Receipt," not "Invoice" or "Subscription confirmation," and there's no "next billing date" line. Open your account. There's no billing tab, no subscription page, and no saved card. Nothing on our side is set up to bill you a second time. Check your bank. You won't see a recurring authorization from us. The charge clears once and that's the end of it. On your statement it shows up as "BabyAcrobatics." Refund vs. cancellation If what you really want is your money back rather than a way to stop a future charge, there's nothing to cancel. You just request a refund within 30 days of buying. Email support@babyacrobatics.com from the address you used at checkout, and you'll get a reply within a business day. Full details are in how the refund window works. A charge you don't recognize If a charge from Baby Acrobatics shows up and you don't remember buying anything, maybe a partner bought it or it's a line item you can't place, email support@babyacrobatics.com with the last four digits of the card and the date of the charge. We'll look it up and tell you exactly what it was for.

Is this a subscription? How do I cancel?

A failed checkout is frustrating, and it's almost always fixable. Most come down to one of three things: a browser extension blocking the payment form, your bank declining an international charge in US dollars, or a non-card method (Link, Cash App, a wallet) failing partway through. Work through the steps below in order. The charge runs through Stripe and shows up on your statement as "BabyAcrobatics". It helps to know where you're paying, because that decides your options. A new Blueprint or Movement Mastery purchase happens on babyacrobatics.com, where Stripe picks which payment methods to show you. Upgrading from the Blueprint to Mastery happens inside the app and takes a card only. 1. Turn off extensions or switch browsers Ad blockers, privacy extensions, and some VPNs break the payment form. The usual signs: the page freezes, never moves past the email step, or never loads the card fields. Open the checkout in a private or incognito window, which disables most extensions. Or try a different browser. Chrome and Safari both work well. 2. Pay with a regular card A plain card is the most reliable way to pay. Stripe Link, Cash App Pay, Apple Pay, and Google Pay can fail without telling you why, so when one of them stalls, a card almost always goes through. On the babyacrobatics.com checkout, pick the card option instead of a wallet, then type the card number, expiry, CVC, and billing details by hand. If you don't see the method you wanted, it isn't offered for this purchase. The ones shown at checkout are the methods you can use. The in-app upgrade is card only. There's a "Get Movement Mastery" button at the top of the guide. Tapping it opens a window with "Card number", "Expiry", and "CVC" fields and a "Pay $198" button. No wallets or Link there, just a card. 3. If your card is declined, call your bank A US dollar charge from another country often gets flagged as suspicious, especially the first time. That block sits on your bank's side, not ours. Ask your bank to approve the charge from "BabyAcrobatics". Run the purchase again once they confirm. Double-check before you retry If the charge went through but on the wrong amount, or you used a card you didn't mean to, stop before trying again so you don't pay twice. Email us with the receipt and we'll sort it out. A purchase that did complete is covered by the 30-day refund window if it turns out wrong. Still stuck Screenshot the error and send it through the contact form or email support@babyacrobatics.com. Tell us which device and browser you're on and what you've already tried, and we'll get the purchase through.

Yes, you can buy Baby Acrobatics as a gift. There's a dedicated gift checkout that sends you a code to pass on whenever you're ready, so you never have to use the recipient's email or share their inbox. How to buy a gift 1. Go to babyacrobatics.com/gift. 2. Pick what you want to give: The Blueprint, the Nourishing Guide, Movement Mastery (the full video system), or the Complete Bundle. Tap a card to select it. 3. Enter your own email in the email box, not the recipient's. The gift code comes to you. 4. Tap "Continue to Payment", enter your card, then "Complete Gift Purchase". Right after you pay, your code lands in your inbox. The email comes from "Baby Acrobatics" with the subject "Your Baby Acrobatics Gift Code", and the code looks like GIFT-XXXX-XXXX. Gift codes never expire, so there's no rush to hand it over. If you don't see the email, check spam first. Still nothing? Email support@babyacrobatics.com with your receipt and we'll resend it. How the recipient redeems it Send them the code (the email has a "Copy & share this message" block you can paste straight into a text). Then: 1. They go to babyacrobatics.com/redeem and enter the code. 2. They enter their name and their own email to create the account. 3. Access is theirs right away. From then on they sign in at guide.babyacrobatics.com by entering that email and tapping "Sign In With Email Link". A login link arrives in their inbox, they tap it, and they're in. No password to set up. If the gift checkout errored A few people have hit a server error or blank page partway through the gift checkout, usually around the payment step. If that happens to you, email support@babyacrobatics.com and tell us which product you wanted to gift and which email you used. We can create the gift code by hand and email it to you the same way. Already bought under your own email? If you bought a copy for yourself and only later realised you wanted to give it to someone, you don't need to buy again. Email support@babyacrobatics.com with your receipt, the email currently on the account, and the email you'd like the access moved to. We'll move it, usually within a business day, and the recipient signs in with that email as usual. See how to change the email on my account for the same steps. Not sure which to give The Blueprint ($49) is the written and illustrated system. Movement Mastery ($247) is the complete version with the video course and the adaptive weekly routine built in. If you're stuck between them, Blueprint vs Movement Mastery breaks down what each one includes.

Buying Baby Acrobatics as a gift

Signing in & access

Step-by-step: check spam, confirm the email, allowlist the sender, request a new link.

The login email is a separate email from your Stripe receipt . The receipt confirms the payment. The login email holds the link that actually signs you in. Both land within a few minutes of checkout and look alike at a glance, so the login one is easy to miss. Work through these in order. Most missing-email cases sort out by step 2 or 3. 1. Search your mail for "Baby Acrobatics." Don't just scan the inbox. Search, so it turns up wherever it landed - spam, promotions, or the "all mail" view, which is where it goes most often on Gmail and Outlook. The sender shows as "Baby Acrobatics," the subject is "Your Baby Acrobatics Login Link," and the button inside reads "Access your guide." 2. Check the email on your Stripe receipt against what you typed at checkout. Open the receipt and look at the To: line. A typo there is the single most common reason the email never shows up, since the link gets sent to an address that doesn't exist or isn't yours. If you spot one, see I made a typo at checkout. 3. Allowlist the sender, then ask for a fresh link. Once you find any email from us, even an older one, mark it "Not spam" or add the sender to your contacts. That keeps the next link out of the spam folder. 4. Request a new link. Go to guide.babyacrobatics.com, type your email into the field, and tap Sign In With Email Link . The new email arrives in about a minute. Open it within 30 minutes, or the link goes stale - see your login link expired if that happens. 5. Still nothing after five minutes? Your provider is likely blocking the email outright. Email support@babyacrobatics.com from, or mentioning, the address you used at checkout, and we'll get you in by hand. You won't be locked out. A couple of things worth knowing: the link works across devices, so you can request it on your laptop and tap it from your phone's inbox - the laptop still signs in. And once you're in, you stay signed in for about 30 days, so this is a one-time hurdle, not a daily one. When this is a different problem If the email arrives but the link drops you back on the "Enter your email" screen, that's not a delivery issue. On Android with the Gmail app, see the login link sends you back to the login page. In Safari Private mode on iPhone, see login won't work in Safari Private mode. If you think you might have used a different email than the one you're checking, see which email did I use before requesting more links.

Didn't get the login email?

Links expire after 30 minutes. Request a fresh one - it takes 10 seconds.

Login links expire 30 minutes after they're sent. Click an older one and you'll land on a page headed "Authentication Error" that says the link "may have been used or expired." Nothing is wrong with your account, and you haven't lost access to anything you bought. You just need a fresh link. The 30-minute window is there for security. A login link signs you in without a password, so if it stayed valid forever, anyone who reached your inbox later could use it to get into your account. A short window keeps that from happening. Get a fresh link 1. On the error page, tap Try Again (or just go to guide.babyacrobatics.com). You'll see the sign-in screen. 2. Enter the email you used at checkout. Not sure which one? See which email did I use. 3. Tap Sign In With Email Link . A new email from Baby Acrobatics, subject "Your Baby Acrobatics Login Link", arrives within about a minute. If it's not in your inbox, check spam and promotions. 4. Open the email and tap Access your guide within 30 minutes. The site signs you in and drops you straight into the guide. Need to step away mid-request? Request another link when you're back. There's no limit, and an old unused link doesn't block a new one. You can also click the link from a different device than the one you're signing into. Enter your email on your phone, then tap the link from your laptop's inbox, and your phone signs in. The link just has to be opened inside the 30 minutes. Once you're in, you stay in for about a month After you tap a valid link, that device stays signed in for around 30 days, then you'll request a fresh link to sign in again. In between, you don't need a new link each visit. Open the site or your home-screen icon and you go straight in. You will need a new link if you sign out, clear your cookies, switch browsers, or open the site on a device that isn't signed in yet. If you keep getting signed out far sooner than a month, see I keep getting signed out. If a fresh link still won't work If a brand-new link still lands you on the error page, the expiry isn't the cause. See I got a login error for the full list of reasons, or how Baby Acrobatics login works for how the whole sign-in flow fits together. And if you've switched phones and think your access is gone, it isn't. See I changed phones and lost access.

Your login link expired - what to do

Your login link keeps bouncing you back to the email screen on Android. Keep the original Chrome tab open while you check Gmail, and you're in.

If you're on Android and the login link keeps dropping you back at the "enter your email" screen, there's a quick way out: keep the original sign-in tab open while you go check your email. Our login works as a two-screen handshake, and the Gmail app opens the link in its own browser instead of the one you started in, which breaks the handshake. Your account is fine and you haven't lost access. It's the Gmail app on Android sending the link to the wrong browser, and the steps below get you in. How the login is supposed to work When you tap Sign In With Email Link on guide.babyacrobatics.com, that tab starts waiting. You'll see "Waiting for confirmation - keep this tab open while you check your email." That tab is the one that signs you in. The email link opens a second screen titled Confirm your login with a Confirm Sign-In button. Tapping it tells the first tab "go ahead." So the link doesn't sign you in directly. It gives the green light to the tab you started in. The Gmail app opens that confirm screen inside its own in-app browser, separate from the Chrome tab where you started. If you closed the original tab, or it timed out, the green light has nowhere to land, and you're back at the email screen. The quick fix - keep the first tab open 1. Open Chrome (not Gmail) and go to guide.babyacrobatics.com. 2. Enter your email and tap Sign In With Email Link . 3. Leave that Chrome tab open. Don't close it. 4. Switch to the Gmail app, open the email from Baby Acrobatics ("Your Baby Acrobatics Login Link"), and tap Access your guide . 5. On the Confirm your login screen, tap Confirm Sign-In . 6. Switch back to your Chrome tab. It signs you in on its own within a few seconds. Do steps 1-6 within about 10 minutes, since the original tab stops waiting after that. If you'd rather not switch apps - open the link in Chrome This keeps everything in one browser, so the handshake never crosses apps. 1. In the Gmail app, long-press the Access your guide button. 2. Tap Copy link . 3. Open Chrome from your home screen. 4. Paste the link into the address bar and go. 5. Tap Confirm Sign-In when the page loads. You'll land signed in. Turn off Gmail's in-app browser for good If you want links to stop opening inside Gmail across all your apps: 1. Open the Gmail app and tap the menu (three lines, top left). 2. Tap Settings , then General settings . 3. Turn off Open web links in Gmail . 4. Go back to the login email and tap Access your guide . It now opens in Chrome. Saw "Confirm Sign-In" but the first tab never logged in? After you confirm, the page waits a few seconds. If your original tab really was closed, you'll see an Original Session Closed screen with a Log In Directly button. Tap that and it signs you in right there, no second tab needed. Same goes for the Log In Here Instead button if it appears. Still stuck? Send your device model, Android version, and Gmail app version through the contact form or email support@babyacrobatics.com, and we'll get you in.

Login link sends you back to the login page (Android + Gmail)

Private mode blocks session cookies. Use a regular tab.

On an iPhone, if the login link keeps dumping you back on the "Enter your email" screen no matter how many times you tap it, the cause is almost always Safari Private Browsing. Switch to a normal tab and the login sticks. Here's what's happening. Private mode wipes the cookie that keeps you signed in the second Safari closes the tab or moves on. So the link works, the site signs you in for a fraction of a second, then the session vanishes and you land back at the email screen. Request another link, tap it, same loop. Fix it in a normal tab 1. Open Safari. 2. Tap the tabs button in the bottom-right corner (the two overlapping squares). 3. At the very bottom, tap the tab-group label. In Private mode it reads Private with a purple-ish tint. 4. Tap Start Page (or any non-private group). The browser bar background turns from dark to light, which tells you Private mode is off. 5. Go to guide.babyacrobatics.com. 6. Tap Sign In With Email Link , enter your email, and leave that tab open. 7. Open your inbox, find the email from Baby Acrobatics, and tap Access your guide . That tab you left open does the rest. It shows "Waiting for confirmation...", then "Logging you in..." once you tap the link, and drops you straight into your guide. You do not have to come back to it and tap anything. If you'd rather not leave Private mode Open the login email in Chrome or Firefox instead. Long-press the Access your guide button, tap Copy , paste it into Chrome's address bar, and go. Chrome keeps the cookie even when Safari won't, so you'll be signed in there. The link is good for 30 minutes, so do this part without wandering off. If it's already expired, just send a fresh one. Once you're in After you've signed in through a normal tab, you can flip Safari back to Private mode for everyday browsing. Your session lasts about 30 days, so you won't have to log in again for a while. The login itself just can't happen inside Private mode, because the cookie it needs gets thrown away too fast. When this isn't your problem If you're on Android and the Gmail app keeps bouncing you back to the email screen, that's a different cause with a different fix. See the magic link loops on Android Gmail. If you're already in a normal tab and still hitting an error page, see what your login error means. If the email itself never shows up, see the login link isn't arriving.

Login won't work in Safari Private mode

The most common error states and what to do about each.

If you tapped your login link and landed on a page that says "The verification link may have been used or expired," the good news is that this is almost always the link, not your account. The fix is to request a fresh one and click it once, fairly quickly. Here's what each error actually means and how to get past it. What the error is telling you The message you'll see most often is "The verification link may have been used or expired." That covers two situations: You already used this link. Login links work once. The moment one signs you in, that same link stops working. Tapping it again, or tapping it on a second device after the first one already worked, brings you to this page. The link is more than 30 minutes old. Links expire after 30 minutes to keep your account safe. So if you requested it last night and clicked it this morning, it has timed out. There's more in my login link expired before I could use it. Two other messages mean something different: "This email is not associated with a valid purchase." You requested a link for an email that isn't the one on your order. Check which email did I use, and if there's a typo on your receipt, see I made a typo at checkout. "This account has been suspended." Email support@babyacrobatics.com and we'll sort it out. This is rare, and it's usually a mistake. The fix that works almost every time 1. Open guide.babyacrobatics.com in your normal browser. On Android, that means Chrome, not the in-app browser the Gmail app opens. On iPhone, don't use a Private tab. 2. Type the email you used at checkout and tap Sign In With Email Link . 3. Wait for the new email from "Baby Acrobatics" with the subject "Your Baby Acrobatics Login Link." If it's not in your inbox within a couple of minutes, check spam. 4. Tap Access your guide in that email, once, within 30 minutes. That clears most cases on its own. If you're stuck in a loop where the link keeps bouncing you back to the email screen, that's a separate Android quirk - see the login link loops and never signs me in. When it still won't work If you've requested two fresh links and both errored out, you can stop here. More links won't change anything, and we'd rather get you in than have you keep trying. Email support@babyacrobatics.com with the exact email you used at checkout. We'll check your account on our side, tell you what was blocking the login, and get you in.

I got a login error - what does it mean?

Check your Stripe receipt - that's the access email.

Your login email is whatever address you typed in at checkout. It's the same one your receipt landed in. There's no separate "account email" to dig up, so if a login link isn't showing, the real question is which inbox you bought from. Find the email you bought with 1. Open every inbox you might have used: personal, work, your partner's, an old backup account. Search each one for babyacrobatics or stripe.com. 2. Open the receipt when it turns up. 3. Read the To: line at the top. That address is the one Stripe billed, and it's the one our system has on file for you. 4. Go to guide.babyacrobatics.com, type that exact address into the Enter your email box, and tap Sign In With Email Link . A few seconds later a message lands from "Baby Acrobatics" with the subject "Your Baby Acrobatics Login Link". Tap Access your guide inside it and you're in. Bought within the last few minutes? The Stripe receipt usually arrives inside a minute of paying, so if you remember roughly when you checked out, search that day to narrow things down fast. If the address has a typo in it Look closely at that To: line. If it reads gnail.com instead of gmail.com, or a letter's missing or swapped, the receipt probably bounced and the login email is going to the same dead address. That's a different fix - see I made a typo at checkout. If you want the account on a different email Plenty of people pay with a work email and later want everything on their personal one (or the other way round). You can move the account to a different address. Walk through swap my purchase to a different email. If no receipt turns up anywhere Two things to rule out first: It slipped into spam or the Promotions tab. Search those folders in each inbox, not just the main view. The receipt did arrive, but you're checking the wrong account. The full hunt is in I bought it but can't find it. Still stuck after all that? Email support@babyacrobatics.com with the name on the card you paid with and roughly when you bought. We'll look you up and tell you exactly which email the account sits on.

Which email did I use to buy?

Your access is tied to your email, not your phone. Sign in again.

Your purchase isn't tied to a device. Switching phones takes nothing away from you. The icon you tapped on your old home screen was a shortcut to a website, not an app you downloaded, so there's nothing to reinstall or transfer. You sign in on the new phone the same way you did on the old one. Get back in on your new phone 1. Open any browser on the new phone. Safari on iPhone, Chrome on Android. 2. Go to guide.babyacrobatics.com. 3. Enter the email you used at checkout, then tap Sign In With Email Link . (Not sure which email? See which email did I use.) 4. Open your inbox. Look for the message from Baby Acrobatics with the subject "Your Baby Acrobatics Login Link" and tap the Access your guide button inside it. 5. The new phone signs you in. Your progress, favourites, completed lessons, and child profiles are all exactly where you left them. The login link is good for 30 minutes. If it sits too long and stops working, just enter your email again to get a fresh one. Put the icon back on your home screen If you liked tapping a Baby Acrobatics icon instead of typing the address, you can re-add it in under a minute. The steps differ between iPhone and Android, so follow install Baby Acrobatics on your home screen. This step is optional. The site works fine from a normal browser tab or a bookmark. If the link won't arrive on the new phone The link goes to your email, not your phone, so it should land regardless of which device you switched to. If nothing shows up, check the spam folder first, then see didn't get the login email. If you also lost the old email account A new phone and a new email is the one case we can't solve from your end, because the link can only go to the inbox on file. Contact us through the form at babyacrobatics.com/contact or email support@babyacrobatics.com. Tell us the name on your card and roughly when you bought, so we can find your account and move your access to a new email.

I changed phones and lost access - how do I get back in?

Likely cookie or PWA-install issue. Fix it in two minutes.

Getting kicked out over and over is frustrating, and we can usually fix it fast. Once you sign in, your session is built to last about 30 days, so you shouldn't need a fresh link every visit. When it keeps dropping, it's almost always a cookie setting getting in the way rather than anything wrong with your account. Work through these in order. After each one, check whether your next visit keeps you signed in before you move on. 1. Stop your browser clearing cookies on close This is the most common cause. Some browsers are set to wipe cookies every time you quit the app, and your login lives in a cookie on guide.babyacrobatics.com. If that cookie gets cleared, the session goes with it. Safari on iPhone or iPad: open Settings, tap Apps, then Safari, then Advanced. Make sure "Block All Cookies" is turned off. Safari on Mac: Safari menu, Settings, Privacy tab. Confirm cookies aren't being blocked. Brave: the default Shields can clear cookies aggressively. Open the site, tap the Brave/Shields icon, and allow cookies for guide.babyacrobatics.com. Privacy extensions like Cookie AutoDelete or Privacy Badger: add guide.babyacrobatics.com to the allowlist. Sign in once more after you change the setting, then see if the session holds. 2. Reinstall the home-screen app if you added one If you saved Baby Acrobatics to your home screen, that installed version keeps its own storage, separate from your normal browser. Once in a while that storage gets into a state where it won't hold a session. A quick reinstall clears it. 1. Press and hold the Baby Acrobatics icon on your home screen and remove it. 2. Open guide.babyacrobatics.com in Safari (iPhone) or Chrome (Android). 3. Sign in with your email link. 4. Add it back to your home screen. Steps are in install Baby Acrobatics on your home screen. 3. Sharing one account with a partner If it's your partner getting logged out and every login link lands in your inbox instead of theirs, you'll end up forwarding links back and forth. That happens because both of you are signing in with the same email, so every link goes to one place. There's a cleaner way to set this up in sharing access with your partner. 4. Still happening on a normal browser? If you're on a standard browser with standard cookie settings and you're still getting signed out often, that's not how it should work, and we want to take a look. Send a message through the contact form at https://www.babyacrobatics.com/contact and include: Your device and browser, for example "iPhone 14, Safari" or "Pixel 8, Chrome". Roughly how often you get signed out. Whether you're using the home-screen icon or a browser tab. That's enough for us to rule out a bug on our end and get you a stable session.

I keep getting signed out - how do I stop it?

We email a one-tap login link instead of using passwords.

Baby Acrobatics has no passwords. Nothing to create, nothing to remember, nothing to reset. You sign in with your email: we send a one-time link, you tap it, you're in. That's the whole system. How to sign in 1. Open guide.babyacrobatics.com (or tap your home-screen icon if you've added it). 2. Type the email you used at checkout into the box, then tap Sign In With Email Link . 3. The page switches to "Waiting for confirmation" and starts watching for you to click the link. Leave it open. 4. Check your inbox for an email from Baby Acrobatics , subject "Your Baby Acrobatics Login Link". It usually lands within a minute. 5. Tap Access your guide in that email. A confirmation page opens. Tap Confirm Sign-In . 6. Go back to the first tab. It's already signing you in and dropping you into the guide. That's it. No code to copy, no second password. The link doesn't care which device you use You can start on one device and finish on another. Enter your email on your laptop, then open the email and tap the link from your phone: the laptop is the one that signs in. This is why partners can share one account without sharing a password. Whoever wants in just requests a link to the shared email and confirms it from their own phone. The link works once and expires after 30 minutes. After you confirm, that browser stays signed in for about 30 days. You don't have to do this every visit Once a device is signed in, it stays signed in for roughly a month. Open the site or your home-screen icon and you land straight on the guide, no email needed. You'll need a fresh link sooner only if you: Sign out on purpose. Clear your cookies or browsing data. Switch to a different browser or device. Get logged out by a strict privacy setting (see I keep getting signed out). The login lives on guide.babyacrobatics.com, so the cookie that keeps you in is tied to that site. Why there's no password We dropped passwords on purpose, and it tends to make life easier: It's one fewer password to invent and remember. Your inbox is the key. To sign in as you, someone would need to be inside your actual email, so there's no password sitting around to steal. Sharing with a partner is simple. No "what's the password again?" texts back and forth. The corners worth knowing The link expires in 30 minutes. If the baby pulls you away before you tap it, just request a new one, no penalty. See my login link expired. Some inboxes are slow. Gmail and Outlook sometimes delay the email or file it under spam or promotions. See I didn't get the login email. Android Gmail has a quirk. Opening the link inside the Gmail app can loop you back to the login screen. The fix is in the login link sends me back to the login page. Safari Private mode blocks it. Private windows throw away the cookie that keeps you signed in. See login won't work in Safari Private mode. For most people, on most devices, it's three steps: type your email, tap the link, confirm. Done.

How Baby Acrobatics login works (no password)

Step-by-step install for Safari and Chrome, plus what changes once you do.

A native Baby Acrobatics app is in the works. For now you add the web app to your home screen instead of downloading from the App Store or Play Store, and it installs straight from your browser. Once it's there, you tap the icon and it opens full-screen, without a browser bar. Setup takes under a minute on either platform. Menu wording shifts a little between iOS and Android versions, so a label below might read slightly differently on your device. The steps are the same. iPhone or iPad (Safari) Use Safari for this. Chrome on iOS can't install web apps to the home screen, so it won't offer the option. You can go back to Chrome for normal browsing afterwards. 1. Open Safari and go to guide.babyacrobatics.com. 2. Sign in if you aren't already. Tap Sign In With Email Link , enter your email, then open the link we send you. 3. Tap the Share icon at the bottom of the screen (the square with an arrow pointing up out of it). 4. Scroll down the share sheet and tap Add to Home Screen . 5. The name is pre-filled as "Baby Acrobatics." Leave it or shorten it, then tap Add in the top-right. The icon is now on your home screen. Tap it and the app opens full-screen. Android (Chrome) 1. Open Chrome and go to guide.babyacrobatics.com. 2. Sign in if you aren't already. Tap Sign In With Email Link , enter your email, then open the link we send you. 3. Tap the ⋮ menu in the top-right corner. 4. Tap Install app , or Add to Home screen if you don't see Install. Chrome shows one or the other depending on the version. 5. Confirm. On most phones Chrome also shows an install banner near the address bar. Tapping that does the same thing. The icon lands on your home screen and in your app drawer. Tap it to open full-screen. What changes after you install The icon opens the app in its own window with no browser bar, so it feels closer to a native app. Your session stays signed in, so you won't enter your email link every time. On iPhone, push notifications only work once the app is on your home screen. If you want reminders, install first, then turn them on when the app asks. Login doesn't change. It's still the same email link you use in the browser. The home-screen icon isn't a separate account or a separate app, it's the same site in a more app-like wrapper. When this doesn't apply Switched to a new phone and worried you've lost access? You haven't. See I changed phones and lost access. For why there's no App Store listing in the first place, see Why isn't Baby Acrobatics in the App Store?.

Install Baby Acrobatics on your home screen (iOS + Android)

Your account & baby profile

Share access in 30 seconds without sharing your inbox.

Yes, you and your partner can both use Baby Acrobatics, each on your own phone. One purchase covers your whole household. You don't buy a second copy for a co-parent, a grandparent, or a nanny. Everyone signs in with the same email you used at checkout. There's no password to share and no device limit. Each phone just needs its own sign-in link to get started. Set up your partner's phone The sign-in link always goes to the email used at checkout, so that inbox is where the link lands no matter whose phone is signing in. Here's the full walkthrough: 1. On your partner's phone, open guide.babyacrobatics.com. 2. They enter the email you used at checkout and tap "Sign In With Email Link." 3. Their phone shows "Waiting for confirmation..." and asks them to keep that tab open. Leave it open. 4. The link lands in the checkout inbox (yours), in an email from Baby Acrobatics with the subject "Your Baby Acrobatics Login Link." Tap the "Access your guide" button and confirm the login on the page that opens. 5. Their phone notices the confirmation and signs itself in. They're now in the guide, and they didn't need the email on their own device. That last part is the bit people miss: your partner's phone signs itself in once the link is confirmed from any inbox. You can tap it from your own phone, or forward the email to them and let them tap it. Either way works. The link expires 30 minutes after it's sent, so do this while you're both around. After that, request a new one. How long they stay signed in About 30 days. After that, that phone asks for a fresh link, and you run the same steps again. There's no need to repeat it daily or every visit. It's a one-time tap per device that lasts roughly a month. This works for any device, not just a partner's phone. A tablet, a shared laptop, a grandparent helping out for the afternoon - each one gets its own sign-in link and stays signed in on its own. Why the link goes to the checkout inbox It's a light safeguard so an account can't be passed around far beyond one household. Every link routes to the purchase email, which keeps you in the loop on who's signing in. Inside your household there's no per-person or per-device cap. More on that in using Baby Acrobatics on multiple devices. Install it on the home screen Once a device is signed in, you can add Baby Acrobatics to the home screen for one-tap access, with no browser bar. The install is per device, so each phone gets its own icon. Steps for iPhone and Android: install as a home-screen app. If the link won't work on their phone The usual culprit is opening the link in a different browser than the one signing in, like Gmail's in-app browser instead of Safari. Have them long-press the link and choose to open it in the browser they're using for the guide. If it loops back to the email-entry page, that's a known Android Gmail quirk with a fix in magic link loops on Android Gmail.

How my partner can use Baby Acrobatics on their own phone

Yes - up to 4 child profiles. How to add them.

Yes. You can add up to 4 children to one account and switch between them whenever you like. One purchase covers all of them, so there's no second payment for a sibling. What's different for each child The thing that drives everything is each child's date of birth. Add it once per child, and the app works out their stage from there. Per child, you set: Date of birth (or due date if the baby isn't here yet) Corrected age, if they were born early (mark premature, enter gestational weeks) A name (optional), an icon, and a colour From that birthdate the app builds their weekly routine, picks the right flow for their stage, and tunes the Exercise Library age filter to what fits them right now. Each child's weekly routine sessions are counted separately too, so the activity for one baby never bleeds into another. A few things are shared across the whole account rather than split by child: your saved exercises (the heart on an exercise) and your video-lesson completions. Those sit at the account level, so they look the same no matter which child is selected. Add a child 1. Open Settings . 2. Scroll to the Children section and tap Add Child . 3. Enter the date of birth (year, month, and day - the day makes the weekly routine more accurate). Add a name if you want one; it's optional. 4. If the baby was born before 37 weeks, tick My baby was born early and enter how many weeks they were born at. The app adjusts their stage to their corrected age. 5. Pick an icon and colour so the child is easy to spot, then save. The new child shows up right away in the switcher at the top of the screen. Switch between children Once you have more than one child, the active child's name and icon sit in the top bar. Tap it and a short list drops down with every child and a checkmark on the one you're viewing. Pick another and the whole app reloads to that child - their routine, their stage, their age filter in the library. Your other children stay exactly where you left them. Common situations Twins or multiples. Give each their own profile. While they're at the same stage the two views look nearly identical, but the option is there for when their paths split. A sibling on the way. Add them with a due date now, or wait until they arrive. Your older child's data doesn't move. An older sibling using the program too. Run both from the same paid account. No extra purchase. Already at 4 children? Four is the cap, and the Add Child button greys out once you hit it. If you genuinely need a fifth slot, email support@babyacrobatics.com and we'll sort it out. It's a rare ask.

Can I use Baby Acrobatics for more than one child?

Sign in on as many devices as you need with the same email.

Your account isn't tied to one device. Use Baby Acrobatics on as many phones, tablets, and computers as you want - there's no device cap. The only thing each device needs is a sign-in link, which you'll get about once a month. How to sign in on a new device 1. Open guide.babyacrobatics.com on the device. 2. Enter the email you used at checkout. 3. Tap Sign In With Email Link . 4. Check that inbox for an email from Baby Acrobatics, subject "Your Baby Acrobatics Login Link", and tap the "Access your guide" button. The link works from any inbox on any device, and the device where you typed your email signs itself in. 5. You're in. That device stays signed in for about 30 days, then asks for a fresh link. So this isn't a "log in every visit" thing. It's a one-time tap per device that lasts roughly a month. The link itself expires 30 minutes after it's sent, so use it soon after it lands. Sharing across your household Same five steps, with one addition: forward the sign-in email to whoever is using the other phone. Every link goes to the purchase email, so you forward it once and your partner, a grandparent, or a nanny taps it on their own device. Full walkthrough: how my partner can use Baby Acrobatics on their own phone. New phone or a device you reset Upgraded phones? Factory-reset a tablet? Just request a new sign-in link with the same email. Your account, your children's profiles, and your progress all live on our side, not on the device, so they're right there once you sign in. If something looks missing afterward, see I changed phones and lost access. Add it to each home screen Once you're signed in, you can install Baby Acrobatics as a home-screen app for one-tap access. The install is per-device, so each phone or tablet gets its own icon. Steps for iPhone and Android: install as a home-screen app. Why a link instead of a password The link-per-device flow means there's no password to forget and reset. It's also a soft check against an account being shared far outside one household. There's no hard device cap right now - each device just needs its own link to start, and a new one after about a month when the session expires.

Using Baby Acrobatics on multiple devices

You can change your baby's birthdate yourself on the Settings page. Here's how, including corrected age for a baby born early.

You can change your baby's date of birth yourself, on the Settings page. There's no support ticket needed for this. The program reads your baby's age from that date to pick the right routine week and library content, so it's worth getting exactly right. How to edit the birthdate 1. Open Settings from the menu. 2. Scroll to the Children section. 3. On your baby's card, tap Edit . The "Edit Profile" form opens. 4. Under Date of Birth / Due Date you'll see three dropdowns: Year, Month, and Day. Set each one to the correct date. 5. Tap Save Profile . You'll get a "Child profile saved successfully" confirmation, and the card updates to show the new age. A quick note on the Day dropdown: set it. If you only pick a month and year, the program assumes the 15th, which can put you on the wrong routine week in the early months. The full day, month, and year keeps things accurate. Fixing a birthdate you entered wrong at the start Same screen, same steps. Open the child card, tap Edit , correct the Year, Month, and Day, then Save Profile . Double-check all three dropdowns after you save - in the first few months, even a couple of weeks' difference can shift which routine week you land on. If your baby was born early If your baby was premature, don't just shift the birthdate to fake a younger age. Use the built-in setting instead. In the same Edit Profile form, tick My baby was born early (before 37 weeks) and enter the number of weeks your baby was born at. The program adjusts to corrected age from there, which is what pediatric therapists recommend. More on that in setting up corrected age for a premature baby. If the routine still shows the old week After you save a new birthdate, the routine is built fresh from it each time you open the routine view. If it's still showing the old week right after editing, that's almost always a stale screen rather than a save problem. Pull down to refresh, or fully close and reopen the app. The walkthrough is here: routine not updating after a birthdate edit. If it won't save If you tap Save Profile and the change doesn't stick, email support@babyacrobatics.com with the email on your account and your baby's correct full date of birth (day, month, year). We'll fix it on our end, usually within a business day. Not sure of the exact date? Your baby's birth certificate or medical records are the source of truth, not the app. Enter what those say and the program uses it.

I can't edit my baby's birthdate

Send your receipt - we'll move your access to the new email.

We can move your access to a new email for you, usually within a business day. The email field in Settings is read-only (greyed out) because your email is also your login, so we make this change by hand to keep your account safe. Just send us a quick note and we'll take care of it. What to send Email support@babyacrobatics.com with two things: 1. The email you log in with now. If you can't sign in at all, send your Stripe receipt number instead - it's on the payment confirmation you got after buying. 2. The new email you want to use going forward. That's normally all we need. We might check one detail before moving anything, then switch the account over to the new address. Why there's no button for this Your email is also your login. The app sends sign-in links to it, ties your purchase to it, and uses it to match you across devices. Letting that change with a single tap is an easy way for an account to get hijacked or for someone to lock themselves out by fat-fingering a new address. So we do the swap manually and confirm it's really you first. What stays with the account Everything moves across with you. Nothing is lost in the swap: Your purchase and access level (Blueprint or the Movement Mastery Method) Your child profiles, including any premature/corrected-age settings Routine progress and the week you're on Saved exercises (the ones you've hearted) and any community posts The only thing that changes is which inbox the sign-in links land in. Once it's done After we confirm the swap, sign in fresh with the new address: 1. Go to guide.babyacrobatics.com. 2. Enter the new email and tap Sign In With Email Link . 3. Open the email titled "Your Baby Acrobatics Login Link" in that inbox and tap Access your guide . The link works for 30 minutes. 4. You're back in, with everything where you left it. If the old email and the new one belong to two different people - say you bought it and now your partner wants their own login - you don't need a swap. Both of you can have your own access. See share access with your partner.

How to change the email on my account

Routines refresh weekly. Force a refresh in a few taps.

If you updated your baby's birthdate and the routine is still on the old week, the saved birthdate is almost always fine and your device is showing you an old copy of the page. The routine week is worked out fresh from the birthdate every time the page loads, so a clean reload fixes it. Try these in order. 1. Hard-refresh the routine page On a phone: pull down from the top of the routine screen to refresh. On a desktop browser: Cmd+Shift+R (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows). That pulls a fresh copy and rebuilds the week from the new birthdate. For most people this is the whole fix. 2. Fully close and reopen the app If a pull-to-refresh doesn't do it, fully close the app (swipe it away, or close the browser tab) and reopen it from guide.babyacrobatics.com. If it asks you to sign in, tap Sign In With Email Link , enter the same email you bought with, and open the link we send. Then go to the routine page. A fresh session loads everything again, including the current routine week. 3. Verify the birthdate actually saved This is the most common real cause when the routine still looks stuck after refreshing. Here is where to look: 1. Open the Settings page. 2. Scroll to the Children section and open your baby. 3. Check the Date of Birth / Due Date field. If it isn't the date you meant, fix it and tap Save . The routine is built from this date, so the saved value has to be right before the week will move. More on this in editing your baby's birthdate. If your baby was born early and you marked them premature, the routine also uses your gestational weeks to set a corrected age, so the week shown can sit a little behind your baby's actual age. That's the corrected age at work, not a stuck week. See premature and corrected age. 4. Still stuck after 24 hours If the birthdate is correct, you've refreshed and reopened the app, and the routine is still on the old week the next day, email support@babyacrobatics.com with the email on your account. We'll sort it out. Why this happens There's no "current week" saved on our side to update. Every time you open the routine, your baby's age is worked out from the saved birthdate right then, and the week comes from that. So once the birthdate is correct, the right week is already waiting on the next clean load. The thing that holds onto the old week is your device showing a page it loaded earlier, which is what steps 1 and 2 clear.

I updated my baby's birthdate but the routine is still on the old week

Enter the real birthdate and turn on the premature option. The app corrects the age for you.

Enter your baby's real birthdate, then turn on the "born early" setting and enter how many weeks gestation they were born at. From there the program corrects the age on its own, so the weekly routine matches where your baby is developmentally instead of how many days have passed since birth. Why it matters: a baby born at 32 weeks isn't at the same stage as a baby born at 40 weeks on the same calendar day, even though they're the same age on paper. Corrected age (also called adjusted age) accounts for the early start. How to set it up 1. Open Settings and scroll to the Children section. 2. Tap Add Child (or tap an existing child to open Edit Profile ). 3. Under Date of Birth / Due Date , set the real birthdate using the year, month, and day pickers. Use the actual day your baby was born, not their due date and not a shifted date - the program does the correction math, so a fudged birthdate throws everything off. 4. Tick the box labelled My baby was born early (before 37 weeks) . A short field appears below it. 5. In Born at how many weeks? , enter the gestational weeks at birth, for example 32. The field accepts 24 to 36. 6. Tap Save Profile . That's all. The weekly routine and the exercises it suggests now use corrected age. When the correction is active, you'll see a small adjusted tag next to the week number on your routine - tap it and it confirms the week is based on your baby's corrected age. How the correction is calculated Corrected week = chronological week minus the weeks your baby came early, where "early" means 40 weeks minus their gestational age at birth. A baby born at 32 weeks came 8 weeks early (40 - 32). So at 20 weeks old by the calendar, they show up in the program as 12 weeks corrected. You don't enter any of this yourself - just the birthdate and gestational weeks, and the rest is automatic. If you already added your baby without it Go back to Settings > Children , tap your baby to open Edit Profile , tick My baby was born early (before 37 weeks) , enter the gestational weeks, and tap Save Profile . The routine recalculates the next time you open it. Nothing else to redo. A note on corrected age Using corrected age is the standard pediatric approach for roughly the first two years, after which most babies have caught up and chronological age takes over. Every premature baby's path is its own, though, and some situations need their own pacing. If your baby was premature with complications, or you're working with a physical therapist, follow your pediatric team's guidance for your specific case. See when to consult your pediatrician, not us and medical and orthopedic cases.

Using the app

Quick diagnostic + the fixes that work for most people.

When a video shows "Video failed to load" or just spins forever, it's almost always one of two things: a shaky connection or an in-app browser that handles video badly. Work down this list and you'll clear it. Try these in order 1. Tap "Try again," or refresh the page. The error screen has a "Try again" button right under the message. Tap it once. If you're on a normal browser tab, pull down to reload instead. A lot of one-off failures clear on the second attempt. 2. Check your connection. The video needs a steady connection, not just bars showing. Quick test: open a YouTube clip in another tab. If that won't load either, the problem is your network. Switch from cellular to Wi-Fi (or the other way) and reload. 3. Get out of in-app browsers. If you opened Baby Acrobatics by tapping a link inside Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, or a similar app, you're in that app's built-in browser, and those play video unreliably. Copy the link and paste it into Safari (iPhone) or Chrome (Android), then sign in there. 4. Fully close and reopen the app. Not just switching away. Swipe Baby Acrobatics out of your recent-apps view so it closes completely, then open it again. A stale session is a common reason a video won't start. 5. Switch networks if you're somewhere restrictive. Office, hotel, school, and some public Wi-Fi networks block the video service. So can a VPN. Turn the VPN off, or move to your home Wi-Fi or cellular data, and try again. This is also the usual fix when video seems blocked in your country. 6. Open from the home-screen icon. If you've added Baby Acrobatics to your home screen, open it from that icon. The standalone window plays video far more reliably than any in-app browser. Haven't added it yet? It takes under a minute: install it on iOS or Android. 7. Reinstall the home-screen app. Still stuck? Remove the home-screen icon, then add it again from guide.babyacrobatics.com for a clean start. If a video still won't play after all that, use the contact form and tell us which lesson and what device and browser you're on. We'll track it down. When it's something else A video that plays silently isn't a load failure. Check your device isn't on its silent switch, and that the volume control in the player isn't muted. If one specific video is broken while everything else plays fine, that's on our end, not your phone. Send us the lesson name through the contact form and we'll get it fixed. And if videos are slow to start rather than failing outright, an older phone is the more common cause than your connection - see the app loads slowly on my older phone.

A video won't load or failed to play

Older phones can crawl on the video. Free up memory, update, and use Wi-Fi - or watch on a newer device or print the routine.

Baby Acrobatics leans heavily on video, and older phones (roughly iPhone 8 and Android handsets from that era) can crawl when they load it. On a borderline device a single screen might take minutes to appear. The steps below help when the phone is just struggling. If it can't keep up at all, we cover that further down too. Try these first 1. Close your other apps. Swipe Baby Acrobatics and everything else out of your recent-apps view, then open Baby Acrobatics on its own. Freeing up memory is the single biggest help on an older phone. 2. Update your OS and browser. An older iPhone on an outdated iOS is noticeably slower than the same phone running the newest version it can install. Same for Android and Chrome. 3. Switch to Wi-Fi. A weak cellular signal stretches load times on a slow device far more than on a fast one. Move closer to your router and reload. 4. Open the home-screen app, not a browser tab. If you've added Baby Acrobatics to your home screen, that standalone window is leaner than Safari or Chrome. If you haven't yet, it takes under a minute: install it on iOS or Android. 5. Load one screen at a time. Open the routine, let it settle, then tap into a video. Asking a slow phone to render the routine and a video at once is what tips it over. After each step, give the screen a few seconds. On a borderline device a good sign is the screen filling in with content instead of just showing the loading spinner. When your device just can't run it If you've worked through all of that and a screen still takes minutes instead of seconds, the phone is below what the video interface needs. This comes down to the hardware, so there's no setting on your end that will speed it up. Two things that get you using what you bought anyway: Watch the videos on a newer device. Your account isn't locked to one phone, so sign in on a partner's phone, a tablet, or a laptop and watch there. You can read on the old phone and play videos on the newer one. Here's how using more than one device works. Print the routine and skip the screen. The Download printable PDF button on the routine view gives you the session on paper, so you don't need video at all once you know the moves. See printing or saving your routine as a PDF. Still stuck? Tell us your device If nothing above gets it running, send us your phone model and OS version through the contact form and we'll help you find the best way to use your purchase. When this is something else If a video fails outright (an error or an endless spinner) rather than just loading slowly, that's usually the network or an in-app browser, not your hardware. Walk through why a video won't play instead.

The app loads slowly or gets stuck on my older phone

A native app is on the way. For now Baby Acrobatics runs as a web app you add to your home screen, where it gets its own icon.

A native Baby Acrobatics app is in the works. It is not in the App Store or Play Store yet, so for now you use Baby Acrobatics as a web app. You open it in your browser and add it to your home screen, where it gets its own icon and opens full-screen. It looks and works just like a native app. How to install it The whole thing takes about ten seconds. 1. On iPhone or iPad: open guide.babyacrobatics.com in Safari. This part has to be Safari - iPhones only let you add home-screen apps from there, not Chrome. Tap the Share button (the square with the arrow at the bottom of the screen), scroll down, and tap Add to Home Screen . 2. On Android: open guide.babyacrobatics.com in Chrome. Tap the menu (three dots, top right) and choose Add to Home Screen or Install app . 3. Open it from your home screen. The Baby Acrobatics icon sits next to your other apps. Tap it and it opens full-screen, just like an app you'd download. 4. Sign in. Enter the email you bought with and tap Sign In With Email Link . We send you a one-tap sign-in link (no password) in an email titled "Your Baby Acrobatics Login Link." Tap "Access your guide" in that email and you're in. You stay signed in for about a month before you need a fresh link. If you'd like the version with screenshots for each tap, see installing the app on iOS and Android. Why there's no native app We're building the native app now, and in the meantime the web app keeps you fully covered. One nice side effect: new content and fixes reach your phone the moment we ship them. There's no App Store review to wait on and no update to download. The home-screen install gives you that app-like feel today. If something called "Baby Acrobatics" shows up in an app store That one isn't us. We don't publish to the App Store or Play Store yet, so anything listed there under our name is a different product. Open guide.babyacrobatics.com in your browser instead and you'll be in the right place. If you've already added the home-screen app but can't get past the login screen, that's almost always the sign-in link rather than the install. See the login link didn't arrive or what a login error means.

I can't find Baby Acrobatics in the App Store or Play Store

Routines repeat by design at some ages. When to expect a fresh week.

Seeing the same exercises week after week is almost always the routine working the way it should, not a glitch. Your weekly routine is built from your baby's age, and in the early months the set of foundation exercises is small on purpose. Let's walk through what's normal at this stage, and how to spot the rare case where something really is off. When repetition is normal In the newborn months (roughly the first two months) the routine pulls from a small pool of foundation moves: tiger hold, side-lying play, gentle vestibular work, visual tracking. That repetition is the point. Babies learn movement by doing the same thing over and over, and at this stage the foundations matter more than variety. You may also notice the routine offers a few different flows for the same week. For the youngest babies the routine view shows Gentle Flow, Active Flow, and Calm Flow. Those names describe the pacing and intensity of the session, not three sets of different exercises, so you will see the same handful of moves arranged differently. As your baby gets older, the number of exercises in each session grows (from about four moves in the newborn weeks up toward nine later on), and the week-to-week rotation becomes much easier to spot. If the routine adds a new exercise or two as your baby ages out of a stage, that is the system advancing. When something might be off So when is it worth a closer look? If you are past the early weeks and the routine truly has not shifted for two or more weeks, work through this: 1. Check the birthdate. Open Settings, find your baby in the Children section, and confirm the date of birth is right. The whole routine is derived from your baby's age in weeks, so even a small mistake in the birthdate locks you onto the wrong week. 2. Reload the routine. The routine is calculated fresh every time the page loads, so a stale view is the most common reason a change doesn't appear. Fully close the app and reopen it, then open the weekly routine again. If you are in a browser tab instead of the home-screen app, reload the page (Cmd or Ctrl + Shift + R forces a clean reload). 3. Account for a recent birthdate edit. If you changed the birthdate a moment ago, the new week may take a fresh load to show up. See routine week not updating after a birthdate edit. Still stuck If the birthdate is correct, you've reloaded, and two or more weeks have genuinely passed with no change, send us your account email and your baby's birthdate through the contact form or email support@babyacrobatics.com. We can look at what your account is generating and sort it out.

My routine hasn't updated - same exercises for weeks

How to revisit past routines and exercises you've done.

You can get back to any exercise from an earlier week through the Exercise Library, which keeps every move that's ever shown up in a routine. The routine view itself shows your current week only. We don't have a past-week archive yet, so an earlier week's exact session isn't saved somewhere you can pull it back up. To repeat an earlier routine or revisit specific exercises, the Exercise Library is the place. The reason it's not stored: your week is worked out from your baby's birthdate each time you open it, not saved week by week. Once your baby moves on, the old week's layout isn't kept around. Get back the exercises from an earlier week Every exercise that has ever shown up in any week's routine lives in the Exercise Library. So even without the original session, you can find the moves again. 1. Open the Exercise Library from the sidebar. 2. To find a specific exercise, type its name in the Search exercises box. To browse a session's worth at once, tap a phase filter along the top: Connection, Warmup, Mobility, Strength, Acrobatic, or Cooldown. 3. Tap the heart on any exercise card to save it to your Favourites. 4. Once you've favourited a few, a Favourites button appears with the phase filters. Tap it to show just the ones you saved. That gets you the exercises themselves. The exact session shape, the flow label, the order, and the pacing of that week, isn't stored anywhere, so you'd put those together yourself. Save a week before it changes If you want to hold onto a week you liked, save it as a file while it's still your current week. Open the routine and tap Download printable PDF at the top. That gives you a copy you can keep, print, or send to a partner, even after your baby's routine has moved on. Use the in-app button, not your browser's print option, which comes out blank. More on that in printing your routine. Still seeing the same week? If your routine hasn't changed and you're wondering whether it's stuck rather than just early, that's a different thing. In the first stretch, week-to-week repetition is intentional - babies need reps. See why hasn't my routine updated for how the weekly routine advances.

Where do I find previous weeks' routines?

Yes - use the Download printable PDF button on the routine.

Yes, you can save your routine as a PDF and print it or use it offline. Use the "Download printable PDF" button built into the routine. Don't use your browser's print menu - the routine view is hidden from browser print, so it comes out blank. Download the PDF 1. Open the routine you want. This works on your weekly routine and on any of the starter routine pages. 2. Find the "Download printable PDF" button below the routine title, near the exercise count and duration. When the page first loads, the button may briefly say "Loading..." while it pulls in the photos. Wait a second and it switches to "Download printable PDF." 3. Tap it. It builds the PDF on your phone and downloads it. On the weekly routine the file is named after the week and your baby (for example, week-3-routine-mia.pdf). 4. Open the downloaded file to save it, print it, or share it. That's it. No extra account or login needed to open the PDF once you have it. What's in the PDF It's a paper-friendly layout of that session: each exercise with its number, its phase (warm-up, mobility, strength, and so on), a short how-to line, and up to three demo photos so you can see the position. The one thing that doesn't carry over is the video. PDFs can't hold video, so for an exercise you've never done, watch the demo in the app the first time, then the printout is enough for repeat sessions. The pages are A4 sized; most home printers fit that onto Letter paper without cutting anything off. Using it away from your phone Print it and tape it to the wall or the changing table so you're not holding a phone over your baby. Save it to a tablet or a second phone if you'd rather have a screen. Hand it to a grandparent or babysitter. The PDF works on its own, so they can run the session from paper without logging in. If someone in your household wants the full video demos too, they can sign in on their own phone with your same access - they don't need to buy it again. See sharing access with your partner or family. When this doesn't apply Browser print-to-PDF only works on plain text pages elsewhere in the app. On the routine view it prints blank, so use the button instead. If you want everything offline (no signal at the park or on a plane), the PDF covers the session plan, but the in-app videos still need a connection. There's no offline video download yet.

Can I print the routine to use without my phone?

Where the weekly routine comes from, why exercises repeat, and how it advances as your baby grows.

Your weekly routine is a ready-made session of exercises matched to your baby's stage. You don't build it or pick a level. Open it, follow the exercises in order, aim for about 4 sessions a week. As your baby grows, the routine moves on by itself. The adaptive weekly routine is part of the Movement Mastery Method. The Blueprint includes 5 starter routines and the full exercise library, but not this stage-by-stage weekly routine. If you want the difference spelled out, see does the Blueprint include weekly routines?. Where to find it 1. Tap Routines in the bottom bar (it's the calendar tab). 2. On that page, tap your baby's Weekly Routine card at the top. 3. You land on the current week: a list of exercises grouped into phases, with a session length and exercise count up top. If you have more than one child, the routine follows whichever child is selected. Switch children from the dashboard or their profiles. How it's built The app works out your baby's age in weeks from their birthdate, and that age is what the routine matches. There's no setup and nothing to recalculate. The week is worked out fresh every time the page loads, so it advances on its own as your baby ages into a new stage. For the youngest babies there are a few flows to choose from on a given day, shown as coloured pills near the title: Gentle Flow - soft movements and calming touch. Active Flow - more energetic, playful practice. Calm Flow - relaxing stretches and soothing connection. All three appear in roughly the first two months, then it narrows to two, then to a single flow as your baby gets older. They're different pacings of the same stage-appropriate work, not different programs. Tap a pill to read what it's for, and pick whichever suits the moment. The one outlined is the suggestion for today. Why the same exercises come back This is on purpose. Babies learn a skill by repeating it, so familiar moves return across days and weeks, most of all in the early months when the pool of exercises is small. Recognising exercises means it's working, not stuck. If you genuinely think the week isn't advancing, see why hasn't my routine updated?. Tracking your sessions At the bottom of the routine there's a Mark Complete button and a row of circles. Tap it after a session and one circle fills in. Four a week is the goal; circles 5 to 7 are a bonus if you do extra. Tapped it by mistake? Tap today's filled circle to undo it. There's no per-exercise checkbox. To save individual moves instead, tap the heart on any exercise in the Exercise Library. More on that in tracking progress and marking things complete.

Filtering exercises to your baby's stage The routine is already matched to your baby, so you don't need to filter it. If the wider Exercise Library feels too advanced, open it and turn on the Suitable for [your baby] toggle. That trims the list to exercises that fit this week. There's no separate age slider; the toggle does the age matching for you. If a new week hasn't shown up Because the week is worked out from the birthdate each time the page loads, a missing new week is nearly always a stale screen. Pull down to refresh, or fully close the app and reopen it. If it still won't move after a couple of weeks, check the birthdate first, then see why hasn't my routine updated?. To revisit an earlier week, use the Exercise Library and your Favourites; the routine view only ever shows the current week. See where are previous weeks' routines?.

How the weekly routine works

Yes - lesson completion, weekly sessions, and exercise favourites. Where each one lives.

Yes. Baby Acrobatics keeps track in three places, and none of it needs setting up. You tap as you go, and it follows your account to any device you sign in on. The three things you can track: video lessons you've finished, routine sessions you've done this week, and exercises you want to save. Here's where each one lives. Video lessons The Movement Foundations video course remembers which lessons you've watched. 1. Open a lesson and watch it. When the video reaches the end, the app marks it done for you. 2. To mark it yourself, tap Mark complete at the bottom of the lesson. It switches to Completed with a green check. 3. Changed your mind? Tap Completed again to clear it. The course page shows your overall progress as a bar with a percentage and a count, like "6 of 20 lessons completed." That count climbs as you finish lessons. The video course is part of the Movement Mastery Method. The Blueprint on its own doesn't include it. If you're not sure which you have, see Blueprint vs Movement Mastery. Routine sessions this week The weekly routine counts how many sessions you've done, so you can see how steady you've been without keeping notes. 1. Open your routine and work through the exercises. 2. At the bottom, tap Mark Complete . One circle in the row fills in. 3. Tapped it by accident? Tap today's filled circle to undo it. Four sessions a week is the goal, so there are circles for four, with a few extra (5 to 7) for the days you do more. The count resets on its own when a new week begins. The adaptive weekly routine is a Movement Mastery feature. The Blueprint's 5 starter routines still let you mark a session done, you just won't see the week-by-week tracking. More on how the routine itself works in how the weekly routine works. Saving exercises you like There's no separate "saved" list to build. You favourite exercises one tap at a time. 1. Go to the Exercise Library. 2. Tap the heart on any exercise to add it to your Favourites. Tap it again to remove it. 3. Once you've favourited at least one, a Favourites filter appears at the top of the library. Tap it to show only your saved moves. That's the way to come back to specific exercises instead of searching for them each time. The search box ("Search exercises...") and the phase filter are still there if you'd rather find something fresh. What you can't track yet There's no per-exercise "done" checkbox inside a routine. Tracking works at the session level (you finished a session) and the lesson level (you finished a video lesson), not for each individual move. Favourites are the closest thing for marking specific exercises. If exercise-by-exercise tracking would help you, tell us through the contact form. Requests like that shape what gets built next. If your progress looks wrong on one device Your progress lives on your account, not the device, so it shows up wherever you sign in with the same email. If it looks out of date on one phone, pull down to refresh the page, or fully close the app and reopen it. That pulls the current state from your account. If a finished week still won't move on, see why hasn't my routine updated?.

Refunds

Full refund within 30 days, no reason needed. Here's how to request it.

Baby Acrobatics comes with a 30-day money-back window from the date you bought. No reason needed, no form to fill out, no penalty for asking. If it isn't a fit, email us and you get your money back. This covers both the Blueprint and Movement Mastery. How to request a refund 1. Email support@babyacrobatics.com from the address you used at checkout. 2. So we can find your purchase fast, include your Stripe receipt number or just the email on your account. Say "I'd like a refund" and that's enough. You don't have to explain why. We reply within a business day. Once we process it, the refund goes back through Stripe and we close your account access. That's the full picture, so you know what to expect. What happens after you ask You get a reply confirming the refund has been issued. The money lands back on your card or in your bank account within Stripe's usual window, typically 5 to 10 business days depending on your bank. Your account access ends when the refund is processed. One thing we want to be upfront about: a refund closes your access to the whole program , not just one piece of it. There isn't a "refund the upgrade but keep the Blueprint" option. So if you've added Movement Mastery on top of the Blueprint and you only want to undo part of it, have a look at the next section before you ask. Worth knowing before you request If the real problem is the wrong tier, you can switch instead of refunding. The Blueprint upgrades to Movement Mastery for the difference, and you keep everything you've already done. See Can I upgrade from Blueprint to Movement Mastery?. If you upgraded to Movement Mastery and now want out, email support@babyacrobatics.com. Because a refund closes the whole account, we'll walk you through what you'll lose before we process anything, so there are no surprises. If you bought expecting a different format, a paperback or an App Store app, the refund still applies. The format itself is explained in Is Baby Acrobatics a paperback or digital? in case that clears it up first. You don't owe us a reason A line about what didn't work genuinely helps us improve the program, but it's never required. We keep the request simple so it's easy to ask. When this doesn't apply If you're past the 30-day window, email support@babyacrobatics.com and tell us what's going on. We'll take a look. If a charge on your statement doesn't look like it came from us, check the descriptor on the charge first. If it isn't a Baby Acrobatics purchase, we won't be able to refund it from our side, and your bank is the right place to get it sorted.

Safety & medical questions

What we can answer, what we can't, and when to seek a clinician.

If something specific about your baby's development is on your mind, ask your pediatrician or a pediatric PT/OT, not us. Baby Acrobatics is a general movement program for typically-developing babies. It gives you a structured way to support natural movement at home. It is not a clinical assessment, and it can't see your baby. A clinician can. So when you're weighing "should I ask you or my doctor?", the honest answer is: ask your doctor. We'll still be here for the at-home part. When to bring a concern to a clinician These are prompts to start a conversation, not signs that something is wrong. Only a clinician who can examine your baby can tell you what they mean. Reach out to your pediatrician or a pediatric PT/OT if: A milestone feels late and it's nagging at you. Rough timings worth a chat: no head control around 4 months, no rolling by about 6-7 months, not sitting by 9 months, no weight on the legs by 10 months. None of these is a diagnosis. They're reasons to ask. You notice a side preference that sticks. Your baby always turns their head one way, always reaches with the same hand past about 6 months, or looks lopsided at rest. Their muscle tone feels notably stiff or floppy next to other babies the same age. You see persistent toe-curling, W-sitting that never shifts, or one leg dragging in a crawl after weeks of practice. Something just makes you wonder. Trust that. Asking costs little. Waiting on something that needed attention costs more. You don't have to pick one or the other Most parents who do both run Baby Acrobatics alongside their PT or OT, not instead of it. The clinician decides what to focus on and what to skip. The program gives you something structured to do at home between appointments. That's a healthy setup, and a lot of families work exactly this way. What we can help with General developmental context and age ranges in the Movement Guide. A library of gentle, broadly-safe exercises - toe massage, side-lying play, slow rocking for vestibular input, plain tummy time - that most babies tolerate well at any stage. A parent community where families compare notes on what's worked for them. What we can't do Assess your specific baby. Tell you whether something is "normal." Tell you to skip or override your clinician's guidance. We never will. If your baby has a diagnosed condition Hip dysplasia or a Pavlik harness, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, prematurity with complications, anything similar: your clinical team leads. See using Baby Acrobatics if your baby has a diagnosed condition for how to fit the program around their care. If your question is whether a particular exercise is safe (hanging, inversions, tummy time), see are these exercises safe?.

When to talk to your pediatrician or pediatric PT/OT

How to approach the program when your baby has a specific medical or orthopedic diagnosis.

Baby Acrobatics is a general movement program built for the typical, healthy baby. It is not a clinical or therapeutic program, and it does not replace the PT or OT care your baby is already getting. If your baby has a diagnosis, your pediatric PT or OT is the right place to start. They can see your baby, assess what's appropriate, and tell you what to do, what to change, and what to wait on. The program can't do that, because it's written for a general population rather than for one baby's situation. Maybe you're here about hip dysplasia and a Pavlik harness, clubfoot casts, or torticollis. Maybe it's a VP shunt, Down syndrome, or cerebral palsy. Maybe it's reflux, a recent surgery or post-surgical cast, or prematurity with medical complications. Whatever brought you, the answer is the same: your clinician leads. Plenty of parents in this spot still want to do something at home alongside their care team. That's a good instinct. The program fits that role well - as a pool of ideas you bring to your clinician, not a plan you run on your own. How to use Baby Acrobatics alongside clinical care 1. See your PT or OT first. Get their read on where your baby is and what's appropriate before you start anything from the program. 2. Bring the program to the appointment. Open the Exercise Library in the app on your phone and scroll through it together. Most exercises have a short demo video, so your clinician can watch the actual movement and tell you what's a yes, what's a "wait until X," and what to skip for now. 3. Follow their call, not ours. For a diagnosed condition, your clinician's guidance overrides anything in the program. If they say wait, wait. 4. Loop back as your baby progresses. A "wait" can turn into a "yes" as healing or development continues. Re-check at each milestone, cast change, or device adjustment. What to bring to the appointment A short list makes the visit more useful: The specific exercises you're curious about. Pull them up in the Exercise Library so your clinician sees the demo video. Any current restrictions: a brace, cast, harness, shunt, or post-surgical limits on range of motion. What you've already been doing at home, if anything. Your questions about positioning, handling, and what's safe between visits. Premature babies If your baby was born early, set the program to use corrected age so the routine matches their stage. Enter the real birthdate, then mark the baby premature and add the gestational weeks. See premature and corrected age for the exact steps. This handles the age math, but it does not replace clinical guidance for any medical complications. The rule above still holds: your clinician leads. If the diagnosis changes whether this is right for you Already bought and the diagnosis changes the math? The standard 30-day refund applies, no reason needed. See how the refund window works. When this doesn't apply If you're wondering whether a symptom in a typically developing baby is worth a clinical visit (head shape, milestone timing, an asymmetry you've started noticing), see when to talk to your pediatrician or pediatric PT/OT. If your question is about the general safety of an exercise rather than its fit for a diagnosed condition, see are these exercises safe?.

Using Baby Acrobatics if your baby has a diagnosed condition

Our general safety approach - the active-grip principle and where to stop.

The safety disclaimer applies to every exercise in Baby Acrobatics, and you agree to it the first time you open the guide. The exercises are safe when done the way they're taught. That "as designed" part is the whole answer, so it's worth understanding rather than taking on trust. What you're agreeing to Before the exercises start, the guide opens with a safety page (titled "Our Heart-to-Heart on Your Baby's Safety"). By reading it and moving past it, you confirm three things: you've read the safety rules, you'll make your baby's safety your top priority, and you accept the Terms & Conditions you already agreed to at purchase. In plain terms: this is educational content, not medical advice, and you stay the one judging what's right for your baby in the moment. There's no separate form to sign. The rules below are the actual content of that page. The core principle: your baby grips and lifts. You never pull. When your baby actively grips your thumb or a bar and lifts themselves, the load moves through their grip, shoulder girdle, and core, exactly the muscles and joints they're already developing. It's the same load they put on themselves reaching for a toy or pulling up on furniture. Babies are built for it. What's genuinely unsafe is the opposite: an adult pulling or yanking a baby's arm . That can cause "nursemaid's elbow" (radial head subluxation), which is a real injury. Adult-pulled and baby-initiated supported hanging look similar in a short clip but they are different movements with different loads. The rules we teach 1. Baby initiates and grips. Offer your thumb or the bar, let your baby grab, and let them bear their own weight. You never pull or dangle them by the arms. 2. Support at the hips and wrists so you can catch instantly if their grip slips. 3. Your baby decides how long. When they let go, you're done. No counting, no "one more." 4. Stop if your baby resists or seems in pain. A bit of fussing during a new exercise is normal. Hard crying, pulling away, or wincing is a signal to stop and try again another day. You can watch a video demo of each exercise inside the app before you try it, which makes the difference between "pull" and "let them grip" obvious. ⚠️ When the answer is "talk to your clinician first" Some situations call for professional sign-off before you start hanging, inversions, or weight-bearing exercises: Your baby was born prematurely. Your baby has a diagnosed condition affecting joints, posture, or tone (torticollis, hip dysplasia, hypotonia, hypertonia, a brace, a cast). Your baby is recovering from an injury or illness. In those cases, read using Baby Acrobatics if your baby has a diagnosed condition first, and check with your pediatrician or pediatric PT. "Someone in the comments said this is dangerous" This comes up under hanging videos especially. It's almost always reacting to the pulling pattern, not the actual exercise. A clip out of context looks alarming if you haven't seen the same movement done correctly, and most people post the warning in good faith. The fastest way to calibrate your own read: watch the demo in the app a few times, try the exercise gently with full hip support, and watch what your baby actually does. Your own observation beats any comment thread. A worry about one specific exercise or your specific baby The principle above covers the general case. For a worry about one particular exercise, or whether something fits your particular baby, your pediatric clinician is the right person to ask. They can see your baby and we can't.
