The information on Nurse to Nursery is for general education only. It is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for the care of a qualified health professional who knows you and your baby.
Every pregnancy, birth and child is different. Always ask your doctor, midwife or pediatrician about your own situation, and never ignore professional advice or delay seeking it because of something you read here.
If you think you or your baby may need urgent care, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
For a mental health crisis, call or text 988 (the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline). For support with depression or anxiety during or after pregnancy, call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-852-6262.
How we review health content
Our health articles are reviewed by a licensed professional before they are published, and the reviewer’s name and the review date are shown on each article. We base our guidance on current recommendations from organizations such as ACOG, the AAP and the CDC. Medical guidance changes over time, and we update our articles when it does. If you spot something out of date, please let us know.
Faith and medicine
We write from a Christian perspective and include prayers and customs from the Catholic, Orthodox and Anglican traditions. Our faith content is never meant to replace medical care. We believe God works through good doctors, nurses and midwives, and we encourage you to seek their care.
