How Mindy reviews our content
- A post shows “Medically reviewed by Mindy Motta, FNP-C” and a review date only after she has read the final text. Posts she hasn’t reviewed don’t carry her name.
- Clinical statements are checked against primary sources such as ACOG, the CDC, the FDA, the NIH’s LactMed database and peer-reviewed research, and those sources are listed at the end of each post.
- Product recommendations are made on their merits. Some links earn us a commission; that never decides what we recommend, and every product we feature includes an honest note about its limits.
- Reviewed posts are re-checked when guidance changes. If you spot an error, tell us and we’ll correct it.
