Parent smarter, dad with confidence.
Baby & Parenting Tools & Calculators
Free tools for every dad — due date calculator, baby feeding calculator, growth percentile tracker, milestone tracker, vaccination schedule, sleep schedule, baby name generator, and cost-of-raising-a-child calculator.
Due Date Calculator
Estimate your baby's due date from your last period, a conception date, or an IVF transfer — with the current gestational week, trimester, and how many days are left to go
Baby Feeding Calculator
Work out roughly how much formula your baby needs each day and per feed from their weight, age, and feeds per day — shown in both ounces and millilitres, using the 2.5 oz per pound rule
Baby Growth Percentile Tracker
See which percentile band your baby's weight, length, or head circumference falls into for their age and sex, using a simplified WHO/CDC reference for the first two years
Developmental Milestone Tracker
See the movement, language, social, and cognitive milestones most children reach by a given age — a curated CDC-style checklist from 2 months to 5 years
Childhood Vaccination Schedule
Turn your baby's birth date into a personalised immunization schedule — every routine CDC dose from HepB to the 4–6 year boosters, mapped to a due date with a past-vs-upcoming checklist
Baby & Toddler Sleep Schedule
See typical sleep totals, nap counts, and wake windows by age, from newborn to toddler — then enter a last-wake time to get a suggested next nap or bedtime
Baby Name Generator
Filter 160+ curated names by gender, starting letter, style, and syllable count, each with its meaning and origin — deterministic, so your shortlist stays put
Cost of Raising a Child Calculator
Estimate the annual and cumulative-to-18 cost of raising a child, scaled from a USDA-style baseline by income, region, and number of children, with a full category breakdown
Museum of Childhood & Family
Wander an immersive museum of childhood and family life — the toys and games that fill a child’s world alongside the milestones of growing up, the everyday objects of raising a family, and fatherhood as told through art and history, each in its own gallery, so you can get to know the stories behind how we grow up and raise our children: where each idea came from, what makes it matter, and the role it plays in family life today.

Fresh guides on new-dad life, baby and child care, feeding and sleep, play and development, and co-parenting and work-life balance, plus practical tips for pregnancy, the newborn days, and every stage of raising a child.
