I started MiniMinors after spending two years sleep-deprived, scrolling through generic baby blogs that all said the same thing and none of it was actually useful at 2am.
MiniMinors exists to do the opposite. Every calculator, every guide, every safety lookup on this site is built around one rule: would this have actually helped me at 2am? If the answer is no, we don't ship it.
What I write about
- Infant + toddler sleep (regressions, wake windows, schedules)
- Pregnancy food, medication, and activity safety
- Child development milestones (CDC 2022 framework)
- Daycare cost analysis (state + city level US data)
- US state parenting laws (paid leave, car seat, school cutoff)
- Baby registry essentials (what gets used vs marketing)
- The mental load of modern parenting
How MiniMinors content is built
Every piece of medical, legal, or safety-related content on the site cites primary sources — peer-reviewed studies, ACOG, AAP, CDC, FDA guidance, and state statutes — linked inline. We don't paraphrase generic "expert opinion." If a stat doesn't have a 2024–2026 source, it doesn't appear.
For YMYL topics (pregnancy medication, food safety, child development), pieces are reviewed by credentialed specialists before publication: a pediatric sleep consultant for sleep content, an IBCLC for feeding, an OB-GYN or Certified Nurse Midwife for pregnancy. Reviewer names and credentials appear on each piece where applicable.
Methodology
Read the full methodology page for how products are tested, sources chosen, and the editorial bar. The short version below.
"If a hundred sites have already written about a topic and none of it actually answers the question a tired parent is searching for at midnight, I'd rather not write the hundred-and-first version. I write what I wish had existed."
Why I'm doing this
Two kids, an immigrant family, and a stack of half-finished parenting books taught me that most parenting content is written for the wrong audience — people who have time to read 2,000 words at 9am on a Tuesday. The audience that actually needs help reads in the bathroom at 11pm between feeds.
MiniMinors is for that audience. Short paragraphs. Real numbers. Cited sources. No "in today's fast-evolving landscape of childcare." Just answers.
