Publish parenting guidance that is
accurate, calm, and up-to-date
USA New Moms is an independent informational website for expecting and new parents in the United States. We write step-by-step baby guides, checklists, and registry advice designed to help families make confident decisions.
What we publish
- Baby registry guides (Amazon and other retailers)
- Practical newborn planning content (diapers, wipes, sleep essentials)
- Checklists and timelines for common baby milestones
- Honest comparisons that help families choose — pros, cons, who it’s best for
What we do not publish
- Medical advice or diagnosis — we link to reputable medical sources instead
- Paid “reviews” that require positive coverage
- Claims we cannot verify or clearly source
- Content designed to mislead visitors into clicking
Our non-negotiables:
clarity, accuracy, transparency
Accuracy & clarity
We write for tired, busy parents. We prioritize clear language, practical steps, and “what to do next” guidance. If a claim is time-sensitive (like retailer perks), we label it and include official sources when available.
Safety-first approach
For topics involving safety — sleep, car seats, milestones — we avoid absolute statements and encourage readers to follow product instructions and consult qualified professionals when needed.
“We will never tell you something is fine when it isn’t, and we will never scare you when there’s nothing to be scared of.”— Audrey Carmichael, Founder of USA New Moms
How we research & verify content
We use a simple verification framework designed for topics that can change — retailer benefits, return windows, welcome gifts, discounts, and eligibility requirements.
What we verify
- Current registry perks (welcome gift eligibility, discount %, return windows)
- Where details live inside the retailer dashboard (e.g. “Benefits” tab)
- Which conditions are “typical” vs guaranteed
- Whether a perk applies to all items or only retailer-sold items
How we verify
- Cross-check official retailer pages and help documentation
- Confirm time-sensitive perks through active registry dashboards when possible
- Label uncertainty clearly — “typically”, “may vary”, “subject to change”
- Link to official pages so readers can confirm live terms themselves
Update cycle & timestamps
We update time-sensitive pages on a scheduled cadence and immediately when major changes are discovered.
Standard schedule
- Every 60 days for retailer-perk pages (registry discounts, welcome gifts, return windows)
- As needed for evergreen guides if new safety guidance is published
- Fast updates when readers report a verified change
What “Reviewed” means
- We re-checked key claims and links
- We confirmed whether terms appear unchanged or changed
- We updated wording to reflect “typical” vs “guaranteed”
- We refreshed references if better official sources exist
Affiliate links & how we make money
USA New Moms participates in affiliate programs including Amazon. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate revenue helps us fund research and keep our content free.
What affiliate links do
- They can generate a commission if you purchase
- They help support the website and fund ongoing research
- They do not change your price
What affiliate links do NOT do
- They do not influence what we say about safety
- They do not guarantee perks, discounts, or eligibility
- They do not replace official retailer terms
Conflicts of interest & independence
Our editorial goal is to help parents — not brands. We keep all recommendations practical and unbiased.
Our approach
- We separate editorial decisions from monetization
- We prioritize official sources and clear caveats when details can change
- We avoid sensational claims, fear-based language, and “hacks” that conflict with policies or safety guidance
- When comparing retailers, we describe who each is best for — not just a “winner”
