You will Google "is this normal" about your baby at 2am more times than you'll ever admit.

Nobody warns you about the identity shift. You're still you, but everything has a new filter on it.

#Fatherhood #NewDad

First two weeks with a newborn: track feedings, diapers, and sleep. Not because you're obsessive. Because the pediatrician is going to ask and you won't remember anything on 3 hours of sleep.

Day 3 with a newborn. The crib you spent two hours assembling? Holding clothes you haven't put away. The baby sleeps in the bassinet next to your bed. The carefully organized nursery is already a mess.

Priorities shift fast when the baby arrives. That's fine. All you really need on day 1 is a car seat, a bassinet, some 0-3 month clothes, and diapers. The rest is nice to have.

Most pregnancy apps are built for mom. That's great, they should be. But nobody built one for dad.

So we did. Dad Suite gives you week-by-week guidance from trying to conceive, through pregnancy, and into baby's first year. Action items so you know exactly how to help. Real talk about what to expect. No patronizing advice.

The app nobody built for us, so we built it ourselves. Live on iOS now.
