Editorial Policy

Our promise is independence, clarity, and repeatability. Every recommendation must be supported by transparent methods and real caregiver experience.

Independence and Ethics

• We do not sell placements. Brands cannot buy higher rankings or guaranteed coverage.
• If we receive samples or loaner units, we disclose them on-page. Testing protocols and scoring are identical for purchased and provided items.
• Affiliate links may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you; they do not influence our rankings, testing, or conclusions.

Sourcing and Verification

• We acquire products through retail channels or labeled samples. We record lot numbers and revision codes when available.
• Claims (materials safety, temperature limits, compatibility) are verified against manuals, manufacturer communications, and our own tests.
• Content related to feeding technique is reviewed for accuracy by an IBCLC and/or pediatric feeding specialist, when applicable.

Review Workflow

1. Plan: Define user needs and test criteria. 2) Test: Run standardized protocols and acceptance diaries. 3) Analyze: Score with documented weighting and note limitations. 4) Publish: Write plain-language guidance and disclose affiliations. 5) Maintain: Re-test on revisions and update with a "Last reviewed" date.

Corrections and Updates

We correct errors promptly. Email [email protected] with sources or photos; we log the request and update pages with a change note when applicable.

Inclusivity and Language

We use judgment-free, inclusive language for all feeding paths. We avoid shaming and center caregiver workload, baby comfort, and safety.

Medical Disclaimer

We do not provide individualized medical advice. Our content is educational and product-focused. For clinical issues, consult your pediatrician or an IBCLC.

This policy applies to all content on familybottlefit.xyz, including reviews, guides, and tools like the Fit Finder.
