Quality Guidelines
Great contributions share these qualities. Follow these guidelines to ensure your content is helpful and gets approved quickly.
Be Specific
Include details like ages, products used, and timeframes. "This worked for my 6-month-old" is better than "this worked for us."
Cite Sources
When sharing medical or safety information, link to reputable sources like AAP, CDC, or peer-reviewed studies.
Share Both Sides
Mention limitations or situations where your tip might not work. Honest reviews include both pros and cons.
Use Clear Language
Write for tired parents! Use simple language, short paragraphs, and bullet points when possible.
Respect Privacy
Don't share identifying information about other families. Ask before sharing stories about others.
Stay Supportive
Remember that every family is different. Share what worked for you without judgment of other approaches.
