Editorial standards

The CribStack Journal exists to answer the questions that actually keep new parents up at night — clearly, calmly, and without the fluff. This page explains who writes it, how, and the limits of what it can do.

Who writes these guides

Every guide is written by parents on the CribStack team. We are not a content farm and we do not publish anonymous, keyword-stuffed filler. We write the guides we wished we’d had at 3am with a newborn.

How we research

Each guide is a plain-language summary of advice from national public-health services and established child-health bodies — for example the NHS (UK), the AEP (Spain), the ISS (Italy), THL (Finland), the Sundhedsstyrelsen (Denmark), and equivalent bodies in each country we publish in. We summarise their guidance; we do not invent our own. Every article lists its sources at the bottom so you can read the original.

This is not medical advice

CribStack is not a medical device and our guides are not medical advice. Babies differ, and guidance changes. For anything about your own baby, always follow your midwife, health visitor, pediatrician, or doctor — and seek urgent care when your instinct says to.

How we keep guides current

Each article shows its publish date, and an “Updated” date when we revise it. When the underlying public-health guidance changes, we revisit the affected guides rather than leaving stale advice in place.

How we handle other languages

Our guides are published in several languages. Each language is written natively — adapted to local terminology, health services, and how parents in that country actually speak — rather than run through machine translation. Country-specific topics (registering a birth, parental leave, routine health checks) are researched separately for each country, not translated from another.

Corrections

If you spot something that looks wrong or out of date, please tell us at start@djump.io. We’d rather fix it than be right.
