Hi, I’m Sarah Morgan

I read the research, so you can get back to your baby.

I’m Sarah Morgan, a 31-year-old mom. My son, Adam, was born in March 2026, and like every new parent, I found myself searching for answers at 3 a.m.: How much should my baby sleep? Is this normal? When can we start solids? Is it safe?

The internet gave me a hundred confident, contradictory answers. So I started reading what the American Academy of Pediatrics, the WHO, the CDC, and the NHS actually recommend, and the studies behind their advice, and sharing what I found on Instagram (@mama.didyouknow). This site and the Mind Series guides grew out of that.

I’m not a doctor, and nothing here replaces your pediatrician. I’m a mom who reads the research carefully and shows her sources, so you can check every claim yourself. No scare stories, no guilt, just the science.

How every article is researched

  1. Official guidance first. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the World Health Organization (WHO), the CDC, the NIH, and the NHS. When they disagree, we show you both sides.
  2. Then the studies. Systematic reviews and randomized trials carry the most weight; single small or observational studies carry less, and we say so.
  3. A clear evidence grade. Key claims are labeled strong (consistent trials or reviews), moderate (some trials, some gaps), or limited (small or observational studies).
  4. Sources on every page. Each article ends with its references, linked wherever possible.
  5. Dated and kept current. Each article shows when its evidence was last checked, and an update history when something changes.

What we promise

  • We never present opinion as research, and we never hide where experts disagree.
  • We only list a medical reviewer on an article they actually reviewed.
  • We fix mistakes quickly and note the change on the article. Spot one? Email [email protected].
  • The site is supported by our own guides, not by sponsored advice.

Everything here is general information for parents, not medical advice. Every child is different: always talk to your own pediatrician about your child. Read our full medical disclaimer.
