Breastfeeding can feel painful, confusing, and hard to troubleshoot alone. Coddle brings guided latch support, baby tracking, everyday guidance, and access to lactation consultant support together in one app. FEEL MORE SUPPORTED THROUGH FEEDING AND BABY CARE Start a guided latch support plan for common early breastfeeding concerns, including: • Positioning and latch • Nipple pain or damage • A latch that slips, clicks, or feels unstable • Questions about feeding and diaper output Check in as things change and return to clear next steps whenever you need them. GET SUPPORT BETWEEN FEEDS Ask Coddle's Assistant about breastfeeding, pumping, bottles, sleep, diapers, growth, postpartum wellbeing, and everyday baby care. Coddle's Assistant uses your baby's age, routines, and logged information to provide more relevant educational guidance. TRACK WITHOUT THE MENTAL LOAD Log breastfeeding, pumping, bottles, diapers, sleep, solids, growth, and parent wellbeing by tap, text, or voice. See clear summaries and useful patterns without trying to remember every detail yourself. STAY ONE STEP AHEAD Smart Reminders use recent feeding and care patterns to send timely reminders when they may be helpful. Next Up gives you a simple view of what may be coming soon, so you can plan without constantly watching the clock. SHARE CARE, KEEP PERSONAL DETAILS PRIVATE Invite family members or caregivers to log and follow your baby's day. Shared baby-care logs stay connected, while personal conversations, pumping and wellbeing logs, reminders, and preferences remain private to each user. TALK WITH A LACTATION CONSULTANT For a limited time, any paid Coddle Premium plan includes one private video consultation with an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. The consultation becomes available once paid Premium begins and is limited to one per eligible baby profile. Request support in the app and we'll follow up by email within 2–3 business days, often sooner, to confirm eligibility and schedule your visit. Additional consultations or follow-up support may be available as paid add-ons. BUILT WITH CARE Coddle is built with parents, lactation consultants, and pediatric-care experts. Coddle provides educational information and parenting support. It does not provide emergency care, medical diagnosis, or treatment. Contact your pediatrician or another qualified healthcare professional with medical concerns. For emergencies, contact local emergency services.

You know the right approach. You just can't find the words in the moment. Every parent has been there — your toddler is on the floor at the grocery store, or screaming at bedtime, or hitting their sibling — and your mind goes completely blank. You know punishment doesn't work. You believe in connection. But when the nervous system is flooded and logic is offline, knowing the theory isn't the same as knowing what to say. ParentScript gives you the exact words. Organized by situation and your child's age (1 through 6), ParentScript is a "Say This, Not That" script library built for parents who already understand gentle parenting but freeze in the moment. Every script is short, practical, and field-tested for real toddler behavior — not idealized parenting content. WHAT'S INSIDE: • Tantrum Toolkit — Always free. A 6-step real-time SOS guide for active meltdowns. Follow the steps while it's happening: acknowledge the big feeling, get to their level, regulate yourself first, offer connection, and move through it together. • Script Library — Browse by situation (hitting, not listening, public meltdown, bedtime refusal, sharing struggles, separation anxiety, and more) and filter by your child's age. Each card shows the exact phrase to use and the phrase to avoid — with a brief explanation of why. • Ask AI — Describe your exact situation in your own words. ParentScript's AI returns: why this behavior is developmentally normal at your child's age, three exact scripts tailored to the moment, the phrases that tend to backfire, and a simple preventive tip. It speaks your language — nervous system, big feelings, co-regulation, connect before correcting. • Favorites — Save the scripts that work for your child. Build a personal reference library of what actually resonates. • Daily Tips — A new parenting phrase or reframe every day, drawn from the script library. WHO IT'S FOR: Parents of toddlers ages 1–6 who are already on the gentle parenting path but want practical, in-the-moment support. If you've ever closed a parenting account and thought "I know all this — I just can't DO it when it's actually happening" — this app is for you. WHAT IT IS NOT: ParentScript is not a clinical tool, a therapy replacement, or a parenting curriculum. It is a practical reference for everyday hard moments. No streaks. No failure states. No judgment. FREE TIER INCLUDES: • Tantrum Toolkit (always free, no account required) • 3 free AI-personalized scripts • 5 script library lookups • Ages 1–4 script library • Daily tip PREMIUM UNLOCKS: • Unlimited script library lookups • Ages 5–6 script library • Unlimited Ask AI • Favorites / saved scripts SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS: ParentScript Premium is available as a monthly subscription ($4.99/month) or annual subscription ($29.99/year).
