You don't have to figure out
the first year alone.
A warm community for new parents — swap midnight stories, track milestones, and find your village.
A Day in the Life
Help was already waiting
at every hard part.
Scroll through a real parent's day — and see the Cradle feature that meets each moment.
The middle-of-the-night spiral
Is this normal? Is she getting enough? Why won't he stop crying? The questions that feel too small to call a doctor about — but too loud to ignore.
Open 24/7. Right now, 140 parents are in the 2 a.m. room. Someone who survived this exact night three weeks ago is waiting to tell you it gets better.
Tummy time, take 14
She hates it. You're doing it anyway. You read three different articles and they all said something slightly different.
Log tummy time, first smile, first roll. See how your baby's arc compares to 8,000 others the same age — and get a nudge when something's worth mentioning to your pediatrician.
The midday meltdown (yours, not theirs)
You haven't showered. You ate half a granola bar. You miss adults. You miss yourself.
Find parents within 3 miles hosting a living-room playdate today. Filter by baby age, neighborhood, and vibe — low-key or lively. Some meetups have coffee.
The stroller walk that saved the afternoon
Motion works. You both needed the air. You have forty minutes of quiet and a question you've been meaning to ask a real expert.
Submit a question to a pediatric nurse, lactation consultant, or child sleep specialist. Real answers, not forum speculation — posted within 4 hours.
Bath time, the good part of the day
This is the hour you've started to look forward to. The splashing. The little kicks. You want to remember this.
Add a photo, a note, a voice memo. Your baby's first year in a private scrapbook — searchable by month, shareable with grandparents, yours to keep forever.
One more feed. One more scroll.
The house is quiet. The phone glows. You're exhausted but not quite ready to sleep — because someone might be awake who understands.
A free 45-minute virtual meetup for new parents, hosted three times a day. No agenda, no pressure. Just eight people on a screen who all got up at 3 a.m. last night.
The Village
Everything you needed
but didn't know to ask for.
Someone is always awake.
Open 24/7. Rooms for every stage — 0–3 months, 3–6, 6–12, and a special room just for the 2–4 a.m. crew. No lurking bots. Real parents, real nights.
Every first, remembered.
Log milestones as they happen. See how your baby compares to 8,000 others the same age — and get a gentle nudge when something's worth mentioning to your pediatrician.
Find your 3-mile village.
Parents within walking distance hosting today. Filter by baby age, neighborhood, vibe. Some meetups have coffee.

Member Stories
From the people who
stayed up with us.
"That was the first night I didn't feel completely alone."I found Cradle at 3 a.m. when my daughter was six weeks old and I hadn't slept more than two hours at a stretch in a month. I typed "is this normal" into the chat and within four minutes three other mothers had written back. That was the first night I didn't feel completely alone.
