Built a parenting app on paternity leave — baby due any day 🙏

Baby is due literally any day. In the weeks leading up to paternity leave I've been building Sprout a one-stop-shop for new parents in the UK.

The problem I was trying to solve: Every app for new parents does one thing. Peanut does friend-matching (women only). Happity does classes. Childcare.co.uk does nurseries. Nothing combines the stuff you actually need day-to-day into one place and nothing includes dads properly.

What Sprout does:

  • Find other parents nearby with babies the same age

  • AI assistant you can ask anything at 3am (including sending photos)

  • Nursery finder with Ofsted ratings

  • Batch-cook recipes for exhausted people

  • Baby gear marketplace

  • Local groups, meetups, stories

  • Private journal with mood tracking

  • Deals on baby essentials

Sprout - New Parents

Hey! So I've been working on a little side project and would love some people to take a look if you get a chance 🙏 It's an app for new parents called Sprout, Local community where you can ask questions and find other parents nearby, batch-cook recipes ,an AI assistant you can ask anything at 3am (including sending a photo if you're worried about something), deals on baby stuff, and a marketplace to swap or give away all the gear they grow out of in five minutes 😅
