When you’re up at 2am with two babies and you need a real answer, you deserve to know that the information you’re reading is accurate, sourced, and written by someone who has actually been where you are.
That’s what TwinParents is built around. Here’s what we promise you and how we hold ourselves to it.
We go to the actual source
When an article on this site says “research shows,” there’s a real study behind it. Not a blog post summarizing a blog post that once skimmed an abstract. I read the original research: the peer-reviewed study, the CDC data, the AAP guideline. I check what the study actually found, how big the sample was, and whether the conclusions hold up.
Every article that cites research links directly to the source so you can check it yourself. You’ll find a Sources section at the bottom with journal names, years, and links.
We tell you when we don’t know
Not every question has a clean research-backed answer. When the evidence is mixed, we say so. When a study has limitations, we name them. When something is based on our experience rather than a clinical study, the article makes that clear.
We’d rather be honest about uncertainty than give you false confidence.
Nobody pays us to say anything
TwinParents has no sponsored content, no affiliate links, and no product partnerships. No company pays us to recommend their product. The site runs on advertising and nothing else. What you read here is what we actually think, informed by what we actually found.
This is a two-person operation
TwinParents is a husband and wife project. I do most of the writing, Paul handles the technical side, and we both check and double-check the cited sources before anything goes live. We’ve been running this site together since 2006, the same year our twins were born. You can read more about us on our about page.
We fix what we get wrong
Research evolves. Sometimes we miss something. When that happens, we update the article. If you spot an error or something that looks outdated, we want to know. You can reach us on our contact page.
The standard is simple: if you read something here and wonder “is that actually true,” the answer should be traceable to a named source and accurate to what that source actually found.
