Medical Review Policy

Content in our Pregnancy, Birth, Baby, Postpartum, Health, and Nutrition sections touches on medical topics. Here is exactly what “medically reviewed” means on this site, and what it does not mean.

What it means

An article is medically reviewed only when a real, named, qualified reviewer (for example an OB-GYN, midwife, pediatrician, or registered dietitian) has read it and confirmed it is accurate and safe. Their name and role appear in the byline and link to a profile page.

What it does not mean

We do not attach a reviewer’s name to an article they have not actually reviewed, and we do not invent reviewers, credentials, or affiliations. As of this rebuild, no reviewer roster has been established yet — this page will be updated with real names as they come on board.

Unreviewed content

Articles without a reviewer byline are not medically reviewed. Each one carries a visible disclaimer saying so, and none of them are presented as clinical advice. Always talk to your own doctor or midwife about your specific situation.
