My routine hasn't updated - same exercises for weeks

Seeing familiar 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 some exercises stay in the mix for weeks at a time on purpose. Let's walk through what's normal, and how to spot the rare case where something really is off.

One thing to check first: new routines land on Monday. The current week stays in place all week long, so if you're checking on a Wednesday, you'll still see Monday's routine - that's expected, not stuck.

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.

Repetition isn't only a newborn thing, though. At any stage, individual exercises can stay in the routine for several weeks - sometimes much longer - while they're still the most useful work for that stage. What should change from week to week is the overall mix: most Mondays bring several new exercises alongside the returning foundations.

You may also notice the routine view shows a few flow names for the same week. For the youngest babies the view labels Gentle Flow, Active Flow, and Calm Flow. Those names describe the pacing and intensity of the session, not three sets of different exercises, and the routine itself always follows the gentle pacing. 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 the whole routine - not just one or two familiar foundation exercises, but the entire list - has stayed identical 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 Mondays have genuinely passed with the entire routine unchanged, send us your account email and your baby's birthdate through the contact form or email [email protected]. We can look at what your account is generating and sort it out.
