Editorial standards
How these guides are written, what they're based on, and what to do if you spot something wrong.
Who writes this site
Adjusted Age is written by Kadeem, a dad whose son was born at 29 weeks and spent 45 days in the NICU. The site exists because of the questions we had at 2am and couldn't find plain answers to. Read our story.
Kadeem is not a medical professional. These guides aren't reviewed by a doctor or nurse, and we don't claim otherwise anywhere on this site.
What our guides are based on
Health and safety information comes from published guidance, mainly from:
- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
- American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)
- HealthyChildren.org — the AAP’s site for parents
- U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
- March of Dimes
- Peer-reviewed research, found through PubMed
AI tools help me research and draft these guides. Each one is checked against published guidance from the sources above before it goes live.
When a guide describes what happened to our family, we say so. Our experience is one family's story, not a rule for yours.
How we keep guides accurate
- In September 2026 we checked every article against its sources and corrected what had changed.
- Guidance that changes often — such as RSV protection and infant formula — is re-checked every year.
- When a guide has been reviewed, it shows a Last reviewed date under the byline and lists its Sources at the end.
Affiliate links
Some guides link to products. If you buy through one of those links we may earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you. As an Amazon Associate, adjustedage.com earns from qualifying purchases.
Commissions don't decide what we recommend. Safety guidance comes first, and a product that doesn't fit it doesn't make the list, whatever it would earn. We don't accept payment from brands to feature or rank a product. Posts with affiliate links say so at the top. Full disclosure.
Not medical advice
Everything here is general information to help you understand your baby's care and ask better questions. It isn't medical advice and can't replace your baby's care team, who know their full history. If you think your baby needs urgent care, call your doctor or emergency services right away.
