About parent.guide

We publish practical, sourced parenting guidance — written by parents, checked against current medical and safety guidance, and updated when that guidance changes.

Who we are

parent.guide started in 2014 as one parent writing down what she wished someone had told her. It now holds 641 guides covering pregnancy, birth, feeding, sleep, safety and the gear in between, read by [[MONTHLY READERS]] parents a month.

How we work

  1. Parents write itPeople who have actually done the thing write about it. Where a topic needs specific expertise — car seat installation, lactation, sleep safety — we bring in someone qualified and name them on the page.
  2. Health claims get sourcedAnything medical is checked against NHS, AAP or ACOG guidance and cited at the foot of the article. We link to the guidance, not to a summary of it.
  3. We say when we don't knowWhere evidence is thin or genuinely contested, the article says so rather than inventing certainty.
  4. Recommendations are independentNo brand pays for placement or sees a piece before it goes live. If we earn a commission on a link, it is disclosed on the page.
  5. Pages get reviewed, not abandonedEvery guide carries a last-reviewed date. Safety content is re-checked when the underlying guidance changes.

How we fund this

parent.guide is funded by advertising and, on some pages, affiliate commission. That means if you buy through certain links we may earn a small amount at no extra cost to you.

What that never buys

It does not buy a recommendation, a ranking, or a kind word. Commercial relationships have no influence on what we recommend or what we say about it. Any page carrying commission links says so at the top.

Corrections

If something here is wrong, we want to fix it. Email [email protected] and we will check it. Substantive corrections are noted at the foot of the article with the date.

This is information, not medical advice

Nothing here replaces your midwife, GP, health visitor or paediatrician. If you are worried about your child, contact a professional who can actually examine them.
