## What is Day One Dad?

Nobody hands dads a manual on day one. Day One Dad is the first-year toolkit built specifically for new fathers.

Becoming a dad is one of the biggest transitions of your life—and most fathers are sent home with a car seat and a lot of unanswered questions. Day One Dad helps you move through your baby’s first year with practical, personalized support for your baby, your partner, and you.

WHAT YOU GET WITH A SUBSCRIPTION

DAILY GUIDANCE FOR YOUR BABY’S STAGE

Open the app each day for clear guidance matched to your baby’s exact age—what may be happening now, what to expect, and one practical way to show up. No endless feed. No overload. Just what matters today.

A 24/7 AI COACH

Questions about soothing, sleep, feeding, or what to try next? Ask Coach for practical guidance shaped by your baby’s age and family profile. It is always available, never judgmental, and designed to help you find the next step.

A FIRST-YEAR PLAYBOOK

Explore stage-based guides covering sleep, feeding, soothing, bonding, partner support, dad wellbeing, and when to contact a professional. Each guide gives you the big picture and something useful to try today.

DAD HQ—SUPPORT FOR YOU, TOO

Check in on your energy, stress, patience, connection, and sleep. Get a personalized Dad Plan, own real responsibilities at home, build confidence through small wins, and reset safely when the pressure spikes.

BUILT FOR DADS, START TO FINISH

No cutesy tone. No treating dad like the backup. Day One Dad speaks directly to fathers as capable, primary parents.

Day One Dad is a subscription app. Start your 7-day free trial, then continue with a monthly or annual plan—and show up with more confidence, from day one.

Day One Dad provides general educational and supportive information. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Great app for new dads getting a grip on dad duties! Very helpful to just utilize this app for all my questions, or lack of knowledge, to help guide me as a new parent. I use the AI coach instead of google/chatGPT as it’s tailored to my profile - pretty sweet
