About Cloverlatch

Cloverlatch is built by a new dad, during his son's first year, one week at a time.

When his son was born, he did what every new parent does at 3 AM: searched the internet one-handed, half asleep, and found answers written for "0–3 months" — as if week 2 and week 11 were the same baby. They are not. And the road to that birth had its own missing manual: pregnancies shaped by hyperemesis gravidarum, and c-section births and recoveries, described almost everywhere in clinical shorthand and almost nowhere as lived experience.

So he started keeping the notes he wished he'd found — first the pregnancy weeks, then what each baby week actually looked like: how long the baby could really stay awake, what was normal, what wasn't, and what was about to change. Those notes became Cloverlatch.

How the information is put together

Every page starts from published guidance: pregnancy development from ACOG patient education, sleep durations from the AASM consensus endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the National Sleep Foundation, developmental milestones from the CDC checklists. Health claims are sourced only to primary authorities — ACOG, AAP, CDC, AASM (sleep duration, 4–12 months), WHO, NICHD, and FDA — and health-adjacent pages clear an editorial source-verification review before they are indexed. The lived week then checks those ranges against reality; where the week and the chart disagree, the page says so.

What Cloverlatch is not

It is not medical advice, a sleep-training program, or a substitute for your pediatrician or obstetric provider. It runs no advertising and no trackers in this version. It is one family's experience — told without names and without photos of any child — organized so it might make your family's first year a little less mysterious.

Educational information only — not medical advice. Every pregnancy and every baby develops on their own timeline. If you have any concern, talk to your obstetric provider or your baby's pediatrician.
