Building a product with a newborn and a 9-5. Here's what nobody tells you.

My daughter is 3 months old. I work a full-time job. I'm also building a product.

Here's what my "founder journey" actually looks like:

Coding at 5:30am with one eye open

Falling asleep mid-commit

I built a baby tracking app with mental health breaks for dads. Looking for honest feedback.

4 months ago my daughter Emma was born. Like most of you, my wife and I couldn't remember anything through the sleep deprivation. Who fed her last? When was the last diaper? No idea.

I tried Huckleberry, Baby Buddy, a few others. They're good apps. But I'm a developer, and I wanted something specific that I couldn't find:

An app that tells me "you're doing fine" instead of just showing me charts.

73% of millennial dads report parenting anxiety. I'm one of them. Every app showed me data but none of them helped with the "am I screwing this up?" feeling.

Baby Tracker for Dads - The baby tracker that cares about dad's mental health too

73% of millennial dads report parenting anxiety. No baby app addresses this. I built Baby Tracker for Dads after my daughter was born. Every app gave me charts—none answered "Am I doing this right?" Dad Co-Pilot is different: → One-tap logging (feeds, diapers, sleep) → "Is this normal?" insights based on CDC/AAP guidelines → Mental health breaks (breathing, stretches, dad jokes) → Partner sync without competition → True night mode for 3AM Built solo in 3 weeks. Free to download.

Build baby tracking app for dads like myself.

New dad here (4 months in, still alive, minimal crying from me). Like a lot of you, I wanted to help track feeds, diapers, sleep all that stuff. Problem is, my wife tried every app out there and hated them all. Too cluttered, too pink, too much. When I offered to help log stuff, she'd get annoyed because "I was messing up her system." Classic. So I did what any sleep-deprived dad with a coding background would do: I built my own. It's called Dad Co-Pilot. Super simple interface, easy to log stuff fast (one-hand friendly for when you're holding the baby), and syncs between parents so we're not duplicating entries or stepping on each other's toes. Not trying to sell you anything it's free to use also have paid features. Just genuinely wanted something that worked for how I parent, not an afterthought bolted onto a "mommy app." Would love to hear what features matter most to you guys. Still actively building this thing and real dad feedback is way more useful than my own guesses at 3am. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ba...
