First Year Dad.
Field Guide — Beta Open

The App Built for First Year Dads

Track milestones, get weekly survival tips, and actually know what's happening with your baby.

Why First Year Dad?

Research shows that fathers who are actively engaged in the first year improve their child's cognitive outcomes by up to 33% (source: AAP). Yet most baby apps are built for moms — treating dads as helpers rather than parents.

First Year Dad is built from the ground up for the dad experience. The tone is real. The tips are practical. The milestone tracker is yours.

Whether you're in week 1 just trying to survive, or week 40 watching your baby pull to stand — this app keeps you present and informed for every moment of the first year.

What's Inside

Milestone Tracker

Know exactly what to look for and when. Track every first — first smile, first laugh, first steps — with a photo and a date stamp. Built so you never forget the moment it happened and always know what's coming next.

Weekly Dad Tips

Bite-sized, practical advice calibrated to your baby's exact age in weeks. No fluff, no generic parenting advice — just the actionable intelligence you need for the week ahead, written for dads not textbooks.

Baby Development Guide

Understand the science behind the sleep regressions, growth spurts, and developmental leaps. Know what your baby's brain and body are doing right now and why. Be the dad who actually has the answers.
