What our guides are for
Our guides give parents practical, accurate and calm information about crying, sleep, growth and pregnancy. They are general information, not medical advice, and they are never a replacement for a doctor, midwife or health visitor who knows you and your baby.
How a guide is made
We want to be transparent about this. Our guides are drafted with the help of AI writing tools and then edited by the Babymind team. AI helps us research, structure and adapt each guide into 12 languages. It does not decide what the guidance is.
- Medical statements are checked against published guidance from recognised health organisations (listed below). Where sources disagree or evidence is weak, we say so instead of picking a side.
- Figures such as growth percentiles, sleep amounts or pregnancy measurements are taken from the original sources, for example the WHO Child Growth Standards tables, and are never generated by an AI model.
- Every guide lists its sources at the end of the article.
- The same facts in every language. Translations are checked so that numbers and recommendations do not contradict each other between languages.
Our guides are not individually reviewed by a doctor. That is exactly why we tie every health statement to published guidance, show those sources, and tell you clearly when to contact a professional.
Sources we rely on
We give priority to official guidance and systematic evidence: the World Health Organization (WHO), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the UK National Health Service (NHS) and NICE, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NICHD) and peer-reviewed studies in journals such as Pediatrics. Popular ideas that lack good evidence are clearly labelled as such.
Safety rules we follow
- Safe sleep advice follows the AAP's 2022 recommendations: baby on their back, on a firm and flat surface, in their own sleep space.
- We do not give medication doses, feeding plans for weight concerns or anything that should be decided by a clinician who has examined your child.
- Every guide says when to seek medical help, and urgent warning signs are stated plainly.
- On sensitive topics, such as pregnancy weeks close to viability, we avoid statistics that could frighten or mislead without medical context.
Updates and corrections
We review guides when official guidance changes and when readers point out problems. The date shown under each guide is the date of its last change. If you find an error, write to info@babymind.app with the page address. We check every report and correct confirmed errors promptly.
Independence
Babymind makes a parenting app, and where one of its features is genuinely useful we mention it. Our guides contain no paid placements or sponsored content, and every guide can be used on its own, without the app.
