Pediatric care, taught well

Know what to do,
before you need to know.

Calm, expert-led courses for the first years of parenthood — from first aid to sleep.

Medically led by Dr. Svenja Schulz-Abdulmajid

German-trained · UAE-based · Updated quarterly

Parenthood doesn't come with a manual. Not a real one.

Just scattered advice, conflicting opinions, and a 3am Google search you already regret.

FirstStepsDoc is the first place to look, before everywhere else.

You're not sure if it's a cold or something worse.

The warning signs that change everything.

Your baby has had a fever for three days.

When to wait, and when to call a doctor.

Your baby won't sleep. Neither will you.

What parents say

I watched the choking lesson on a Sunday. On Wednesday my daughter started choking on a grape. I knew exactly what to do. I'm not exaggerating when I say this course saved her life.
Amira K., mother of two, Dubai
The first thing I've found that actually treats me like an adult. No baby talk, no condescension. Just real medical information, clearly explained.
James R., first-time father, Abu Dhabi
I stopped Google-searching at 2am. That's the best thing I can say about it.
Priya S., mother of a 4-month-old
