We just added a community inside Dad Suite. Not a generic parenting forum. A space specifically for dads going through conception, pregnancy, and the first year. If you're in the app, you're one of us.

Most pregnancy apps are built for mom. That's great. But nobody built the action items, the weekly guidance, or the real talk for dad. So we did.
…and then there were three (expect delays)
Nobody warns you about the identity shift. You're still you, but everything has a new filter on it.
Modern society presents masculinity in isolation. Figure it out yourself. Don't ask for help. Tough it out.
That's against our nature. Men have always relied on community, on other men who've been through it. Somewhere along the way we lost that.
Becoming a father is one of the biggest transitions of your life. You shouldn't have to figure it out alone. That's what we're building.
My son broke his arm at the end of last week. Tomorrow we take him back to hospital and find out if it's healing OK or needs surgery.
I'm feeling anxious
Hoping the worst of the pain is behind him.
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.
The bar for dad content is underground. Either it's a pregnancy app that forgot dads exist, or it's patronizing garbage that treats fathers like they can't figure out a diaper.
Media portrays dads as bumbling fools who somehow also have the perfect house and job. The reality is men are overwhelmed, roles are vague, and nobody's talking to them straight.
That's why we built Dad Suite. Real guidance, real actions, real talk.
Our daughter #breastfeeding means my wife's tiddies have never been bigger or less accessible.
