Every post: named, cited, dated.
Every blog post on this site carries a named author and a named clinical reviewer. Each post lists at least two primary sources — typically NIH, AAP, IAP, ASHA, or peer-reviewed journals. Each post has a publish date and a last-updated date.
A build-time validator rejects any post missing those fields. We update older posts when guidelines change. We're honest about uncertainty where the evidence is thin.
