Editorial and review policy
Every guide on this site is written or reviewed by Dr. Samantha Abrahamson, Doctor of Pharmacy and founder of Actually Sleeping, before it is published, and carries the date it was last reviewed. This page explains how we decide what to publish, where our claims come from, and how to get something corrected.
Who writes and reviews
Content is drafted by the Actually Sleeping team from the patterns we see coaching families and from the sources below. Dr. Sam reviews every guide for accuracy before publication and at least annually after. Her credentials, license and NPI are listed on her profile; she is a pharmacist, not a physician, and the site says so wherever it matters.
What we will and will not say
- We explain how medications relate to sleep. We do not give infant dosing instructions; those come from your pediatrician and the product label.
- We follow the American Academy of Pediatrics safe-sleep guidance without exception and will not describe practices that conflict with it.
- We describe our own service factually. Our guarantee is quoted from our Terms of Service, our review counts are current and linked to their source, and we do not publish prices because every plan is custom.
- Comparison content names competitors fairly and recommends them where they are the better fit.
Sources
Medical and safety claims are sourced to the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the National Library of Medicine (including LactMed) and peer-reviewed literature indexed in PubMed. Each guide that makes such claims ends with a numbered reference list linking to those sources. Coaching advice reflects our clinical experience with 700+ families and is labeled as such.
