A practical month-by-month handbook that tells you exactly what to do — and what to skip — for every phase from day one to the first birthday. No fluff. No lectures. Just the answer at 3 a.m. when the baby won't stop crying.
A book you can actually use, in the moments that matter.
Know what's coming before it hits. Every month, the developmental changes, the sleep shifts, the feeding changes — and what to do about each one.
Skip the 47-paragraph blog post. The crying decoder, the feeding table, and the red/amber ER chart are designed to be skimmed at 3 a.m.
Postpartum recovery, postpartum depression signs in both parents, and how to split nights without losing your relationship.
Clear red flags, amber flags, and the glass test. Print the fridge card. Tape it up. Sleep better.
And just as importantly, not built for everyone.
12 chapters, one for every phase of year one.
Less than a single baby book from the bookstore. More useful than all of them.
Read it. Use it. If within 30 days you don't think it's worth at least ten times what you paid, email us and we'll refund every cent. No forms. No friction. That's the deal.
Is this a physical book or a PDF?
A PDF. You get both files instantly after purchase — the 12-chapter main guide and the printable fridge card. Print them, read them on your phone, send them to your Kindle. Whatever works.
My partner just gave birth — is it too late?
No. The guide covers months 0–12, so you can pick it up at any point in the first year. The "what to expect this month" format makes it useful even months in.
Is this medical advice?
No. It's a practical, opinionated guide from one dad to another. Always follow your pediatrician for medical decisions. The "When to Call the Doctor" chapter tells you exactly when to make that call.
Can I share it with friends?
We ask that you don't redistribute the file. But the printable fridge card is yours to print as many copies as you need for your household.
Email us within 30 days and we'll refund the full $47. No questions, no forms.
Does it cover twins or preemies?
The guide is written for singletons born at term. If you have twins or a preemie, the principles still apply, but you'll need to lean on your pediatrician for the unique parts.
Your baby won't remember year one. You will. Make it a year you were present, prepared, and still sane enough to enjoy it.
