Calm calculators, templates, and checklists for the newborn shift.

Diapers

Newborn diaper output checker

Check wet and dirty diapers by age and get a calm read on whether today looks typical, worth watching, or worth a pediatrician call.

Open tool Feeding

Bottle feeding calculator

Estimate daily and per-feed bottle ranges, then track the real pattern in DadYolked.

Open tool How do you actually do it?

Bottle feeding for dads

Bottle feeding step by step, quoted from the sources that publish the technique, and the three places those sources genuinely disagree: a nipple that should be full against one that should be nearly empty, two pace windows that meet at exactly one minute, and two AAP pages that publish different amounts for the same age.

Open tool Bath and cord

Newborn skin and cord care for dads

The bath, quoted step by step from the sources that publish the method, plus the one cord figure two sources publish differently: NHS says the stump takes about a week to dry out and drop off, and the AAP says it should fall off by three weeks with a doctor's visit if it is still there. Both reported, neither averaged.

Open tool Mix it safely

Formula feeding for dads

How to make up a powdered formula feed, quoted from the sources that publish the method, plus the four places they disagree: the water temperature NHS publishes for everyone against the one the FDA publishes only for higher-risk babies, whether bottles must be sterilised, how long a made-up feed may be kept, and which tap water to use. Both sides shown, neither averaged.

Open tool Every ride

Car seat safety for dads

How to choose, fit and buckle a car seat, quoted from the sources that publish the method, plus the five places they disagree: one NHS trust's two-hour rule against the Lullaby Trust's statement that no such figure is published, the legal rear-facing age against the AAP's advice to wait as long as possible, whether a car seat is a safe place to sleep, where the seat goes, and the retracted study behind the age that was once published. Both sides shown, neither averaged.

Open tool Sleep

Wake window calculator

Use age and last wake time to estimate the next nap window without pretending babies read schedules.

Open tool Safety first

Safe sleep for dads

The eight safe-sleep rules the AAP and the Lullaby Trust agree on, quoted from both - then the four places their published guidance does not agree: two room-temperature ranges that meet at exactly one point, a six-month window in the room-sharing advice, two swaddling answers in one meta-analysis, and a sofa risk multiplier measured against a different baseline.

Open tool For dads

Postpartum depression in dads

The published figures on postpartum depression in fathers, each quoted from the document that publishes it, and the four places they do not agree - a prevalence range from 2% to 50%, a screening threshold whose validated cut-off for fathers is not the one the AAP publishes, two peak windows that are not the same window, and one named screening visit for a father against four for a mother.

Open tool Preterm

Corrected age calculator for preemies

Work out a premature baby's corrected age from the date of birth and the gestational age at birth, and see both published readings of the two-year window.

Open tool Is this normal?

Reflux and spitting up for dads

Where the published guidance actually disagrees: the resolution answers span 6 to 18 months, new onset at 6 months is a red flag in the same band one source calls typically resolving, and the upright hold collides with safe sleep until you split the clock.

Open tool Fever thresholds

Baby fever: when to call for dads

Every published fever cutoff and call threshold side by side, including the two published boundaries for the under-3-months rule, plus a free checker that says which published rule your reading meets.
