Trust & transparency
How we research, write, review, and correct our content — and how we keep it independent of advertising and commercial partnerships.
ParentVibes is the content and tools platform from ParentVibes, a parenting community supporting families from first hope to first steps. Our mission is to make trustworthy, jargon-free information about conception, pregnancy, and raising children easy to find when parents need it most.
Every health-related article starts from reputable, current sources — including the World Health Organization (WHO), the Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP), the NHS, ACOG, and peer-reviewed medical literature. We summarise that guidance in plain language and, wherever it matters, point you back to the original source or to your own doctor.
We write to inform, not to alarm. We avoid false precision, we describe ranges and averages rather than guarantees, and we clearly mark general information as distinct from a personal diagnosis.
We are building a medical advisory panel of OB-GYNs and paediatricians to review our educational content. As that panel grows, health articles will carry a named 'Medically reviewed by' byline. Until an article is individually reviewed, it reflects our editorial standards and cited sources rather than the opinion of a named clinician — and it is never a substitute for your own doctor.
You can see the current state of our review process on the Medical Experts page.
We sometimes use AI tools to help draft, structure, or summarise content, and to power features such as article summaries and our parenting companion. AI-assisted content is checked by a human against reputable sources before it is published. AI is never used to invent medical claims, and our parenting companion offers organisational support and general guidance — not diagnosis.
Medical understanding evolves, and we update articles as guidance changes. If you spot something that looks out of date or incorrect, please tell us and we will review it promptly. Material corrections are reflected in the page's 'last updated' date.
ParentVibes is free to use. To keep it that way, we show advertising (including Google AdSense) on some content pages, and some links — for example to baby products on Amazon or FirstCry — are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
Advertising and affiliate relationships never determine our editorial recommendations. We do not let advertisers influence the substance of our health content, and product picks reflect genuine usefulness to parents. See our Privacy Policy for how advertising cookies work and how to control them.
We list and partner with clinics and healthcare professionals. Editorial content and tools are kept independent of these commercial relationships, and a partnership is never a substitute for your own choice of clinician.
Every article moves through the same steps, from research to review to ongoing updates.
Plan & research
We start from real questions parents ask, then gather guidance from recognised authorities — WHO, IAP, NHS, ACOG — and peer-reviewed literature.
Draft in plain language
We write jargon-free, India-aware content that explains the 'why', not just the 'what'.
Human fact-check
Any AI-assisted drafting is checked by a person against reputable sources. AI is never used to invent medical claims.
Medical review
Health content is reviewed by a qualified doctor and carries a named 'Medically reviewed by' byline.
Publish with dates
Every article shows who wrote it, who reviewed it, when it was published, and when it was last updated.
Monitor & update
We re-review evergreen content on a schedule; any material correction updates the 'last updated' date.
