About The Baby Insider
Who we are, what we publish, who owns us, and what we are trying to do differently.
Last updated
The Baby Insider publishes evidence-based, clinician-reviewed guidance for parents in the first five years — pregnancy, newborn care, sleep, feeding, milestones, health, gear and the parts of parenting nobody warns you about.
What we are trying to do differently
Most parenting content fails in one of two directions. It is either so hedged it says nothing usable, or so confident it invents certainty that the research does not support.
We try to sit in the uncomfortable middle:
Ranges, not deadlines. Development happens across wide windows. Presenting a milestone as a single date turns normal variation into a failure, and that framing causes an enormous amount of avoidable anxiety. We publish the ranges.
Uncertainty stated plainly. Where the evidence is genuinely unsettled, we say so rather than picking a side and sounding sure.
Named accountability. Every article has a named author. Every clinical article has a named reviewer and a review date. Every source is linked.
Explicit about when to stop reading. Some situations need a clinician, not an article. We say which ones, specifically.
Who owns us
Our advertising disclosure explains the commercial relationships in full, and our evaluation criteria explain the standards we hold products to — including our own.
Our team
Our writers, editors and clinical reviewers are listed with their backgrounds and credentials. Our medical review team are licensed practitioners who check clinical content before it publishes.
How we work
Our editorial process covers sourcing, review, updates and corrections in detail.
The necessary caveat
This site provides general education. It is not medical advice and cannot account for your baby's specific circumstances. Your own clinician's guidance always takes precedence over anything here.
