This policy explains how Green Mommy Guide researches, writes and updates its content.
Independence
Our editors decide what to cover and what to recommend. Manufacturers and retailers do not review or approve our articles before publication, and we do not accept payment for coverage. Affiliate commissions (see our Affiliate Disclosure) do not change our recommendations.
Research and sources
We base our guides on American Academy of Pediatrics (HealthyChildren.org), CDC, U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and CPSC.gov recalls, FDA, NHTSA car seat guidance, manufacturer manuals, and published certification standards such as GOTS and OEKO-TEX (only when a product's certification is documented). Where a claim matters for safety, health or a buying decision, we link to or name the source. When evidence is limited or mixed, we say so.
How we choose products
Buying guides and comparisons explain the selection criteria we used, such as features, specifications, compatibility, ease of cleaning or maintenance, safety information and published recalls. Specifications come from manufacturers and are checked against the product listing at the time of writing; they can change, so please confirm details before you buy.
We are clear about testing. Unless an article describes how we tested a product ourselves, our recommendations are based on research, published specifications and documentation, not hands-on testing. We never invent test results, star ratings, prices or customer reviews.
Use of AI tools
We may use AI tools to help with research summaries or first drafts. Every article is reviewed and edited by a person before publication, and that person is responsible for checking facts against sources.
Safety-sensitive topics
Follow the American Academy of Pediatrics safe sleep guidance: place babies on their backs on a firm, flat surface in a crib or bassinet that meets current safety standards, with no pillows, bumpers, blankets or soft toys. Check products for recalls at CPSC.gov, follow manufacturer age and weight limits, and supervise babies at all times during bath and feeding. Ask your pediatrician about feeding, health and development questions.
Corrections and updates
If we find an error, we correct it. We show an updated date only when an article has actually been revised. To report an error, please use our Contact page.
