Show Up Fully —
Before, During
& After
From preconception health through your toddler's third year — everything you need to be the most prepared, most present dad in the room. Built from real research and real experience.
Nobody prepares dads.
For any of it.
Not before conception. Not during pregnancy. Not in the delivery room. Not when you bring the baby home. The resources exist — just not written for you. That changes here.
Your biology is half the equation
Preconception preparation is almost always aimed at women — but male factor infertility contributes to roughly half of all conception difficulties. Your 74-day sperm cycle is a direct lever you can pull, right now.
Pregnancy isn't something that happens to her
Nine months of change — physical, emotional, neurological — and most dads go in blind. You don't need to be a bystander. There's a science-backed role for you in every trimester and in the delivery room.
The first years rewire a brain
The newborn months and toddler years are the most neurologically active windows of your child's life. What you do — touch, language, play, presence — shapes the architecture of who they become.
The data is clear.
Most dads are unprepared.
At every stage — preconception, pregnancy, birth, newborn, toddler — the information exists. It's in peer-reviewed journals, neuroscience labs, and clinical studies. It's just never been translated for dads who want the real thing, not the watered-down version.
Papa in Progress exists because I needed it at every stage, couldn't find it, and built it myself.
I wasn't prepared.
I made sure you will be.
When my wife and I started trying to conceive, I did what most dads do: I showed up supportively, took her to appointments, and assumed my job was to be emotionally present. I had no idea my biology was just as much in play as hers.
A fertility specialist appointment changed everything. The research I fell into after that appointment led me down a two-year rabbit hole of reproductive biology, nutrition science, endocrinology, and epigenetics. These courses are what I built from that research — for every dad who, like me, never got the memo. Preconception to toddlerhood, one stage at a time.
I'm not a doctor, and I don't pretend to be one. What I am is a dad who read the actual studies — meta-analyses, Cochrane reviews, WHO reference standards — followed every protocol himself, and wrote down what the science says in plain language. The citations are in every lesson, so you can check my work.

I built the library I couldn't find when we were trying: every claim cited to peer-reviewed research, every protocol one I actually followed, written for dads — not clinicians. If it isn't worth it to you, you get your money back.— Ramiro, founder. Dad of one.
Every lesson names the research behind it — meta-analyses, WHO reference standards, and the researchers who published them. No bro-science, no vague "studies show."

This is educational content designed to help you have better, more informed conversations with your own healthcare provider — not to replace one.

A PDF guide is a condensed, printable reference — the essential information distilled into something you can read once and return to quickly. A course is a structured deep-dive: multiple modules, each building on the last, with science, personal stories, and actionable steps for each stage. Both are valuable; they serve different needs and complement each other well.
