Editorial policy

Last updated 21 October 2026

This editorial policy explains how the Tot team researches, writes, reviews and updates the guides, charts and tools on this website, so you can judge how far to rely on them.

Our principles

  • Safety first. Safe sleep and when-to-call advice appear wherever they're relevant.
  • Evidence first. Health facts come from trusted medical bodies, and we link them.
  • Honest about Tot. Tot is our app. In comparisons we say so, describe Tot's limits, and never accept payment for placement.
  • No made-up numbers. We don't publish invented statistics, user counts, ratings or testimonials.
  • A log, not a monitor. We never describe Tot as a baby monitor or as giving medical advice.

How we source information

We rely mainly on:

  • The American Academy of Pediatrics (HealthyChildren.org, the Red Book)
  • The CDC and the WHO Child Growth Standards
  • The NHS
  • The NICHD Safe to Sleep campaign
  • Mayo Clinic
  • La Leche League International and La Leche League GB

Every article lists its sources with the date we accessed them. Where guidance differs (for example US and UK fever thresholds) we say so. Where there's no official standard (for example wake windows), we label numbers as common practice. App comparisons use each app's own store listing and show the date checked.

Who writes and reviews

Articles are written by Muneeb Rana (founder, Xtra App Studios). Health content is reviewed by Safi Ullah Khan. Each health page shows "Medically reviewed by Safi Ullah Khan" with its sources and last-updated date.

Updates and corrections

We review vaccine and safe sleep pages whenever the AAP, CDC or NHS changes guidance, app comparisons every six months, and other guides at least yearly. Spotted an error? Contact us; we fix confirmed errors promptly and update the "last updated" date.
