Editorial policy

Baby Soma is responsible for the material published in its journal. AI tools may assist with drafts, rewriting and translations. An author or publisher credit identifies responsibility for the material; it does not establish medical qualifications.

We are not a clinic and do not employ a pediatrician. Publication in this journal does not mean that a clinician has reviewed an article. We do not invent specialist authors or medical reviewers.

Public guidance from health organisations provides context for safety, sleep and development. Use the original sources linked in an article to check the claims they support. The references below are a starting point, not evidence for every number in every guide.

Age tables, wake windows and sample schedules are practical starting points, not clinical standards or an individual assessment. We do not present these numbers as findings from a published analysis of Baby Soma user diaries. A child’s needs and actual sleep may differ from the example.

None of it is medical advice, a diagnosis, or a treatment plan. Sleep guidance assumes a healthy baby developing normally. Anything involving breathing, feeding difficulty, weight loss, fever, unusual lethargy or a sudden change in behaviour belongs with a doctor the same day - no article and no app can triage that.

On safe sleep specifically we do not improvise: we follow the official recommendations and link to them rather than paraphrasing them loosely.

Articles display publication and update dates. A date identifies a version of the text; it does not certify medical review or guarantee that every linked source has been checked again.

If you find an error or an outdated recommendation, send the article link and the source that needs checking. Corrections can change the text, examples or source links.

Baby Soma sells subscriptions to its own app. Journal articles may link to that product and describe its features. Those mentions are product information, not an independent medical endorsement.
