Editorial Policy

Our promise is simple: clear, data‑driven reviews rooted in real‑home use during nap‑time windows. This Editorial Policy explains how we choose topics and products, conduct research, and keep our recommendations independent.

Independence and Integrity

• No pay‑for‑play: We do not accept payment for positive coverage or placement in rankings.
• Firewalls: Our editorial team operates independently from any revenue partners.
• Samples: We buy most products at retail. When samples are provided, we disclose them and apply the same tests. Brands cannot review, edit, or veto our conclusions.

Sourcing and Fact‑Checking

• We prioritize primary documentation (manuals, safety sheets, warranty terms) and reputable secondary sources (standards bodies and recognized health organizations).
• Claims about materials, temperatures, or food safety are cross‑checked before publication.
• When we cite external guidance, we link to sources and date our citations.

Our Review Process (In Brief)

• Define user problems (quietness, one‑hand use, cleanup, small‑space fit).
• Test hands‑on using standardized protocols (see How We Test) with decibel readings, timed cleanups, and texture assessments.
• Score against weighted criteria and compare across the category.
• Draft, edit, and fact‑check with a second reviewer before publication.

Rankings and Recommendations

• Our rankings reflect measured performance and long‑term value (durability, parts availability, support responsiveness).
• We aim for feeding‑style neutrality—highlighting how products serve puree and baby‑led approaches without prescribing a single path.

Health and Safety Disclaimer

Our content is informational and not medical advice. Feeding decisions are personal; consult your pediatric professional for individualized guidance, allergies, choking risk, and developmental readiness.

Updates, Corrections, and Retests

• We timestamp pages and log significant changes (e.g., formula or parts updates, discontinuations).
• Corrections: Report issues to [email protected] with the page URL and details. Substantive corrections are noted on the page.
• Retests: We revisit top picks and newly popular models, especially after manufacturer revisions or sustained reader reports.

Photos, Video, and Tools

• Images and videos are original unless credited. We stage in real kitchens to reflect real lighting and space constraints.
• We may use measurement tools and software; human editors interpret and verify results before publication.

Conflicts of Interest and Gifts

• Team members may not review products if they have a financial stake in the brand.
• Gifts over nominal value are declined or donated. Loaned units are returned when testing concludes unless purchased for long‑term evaluation.

Affiliate Relationship Transparency

We use clearly labeled affiliate links. If you buy through these links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate status does not influence our criteria, test methods, or verdicts. See also our Privacy Policy for how attribution works.
