About minidodo

Why this site exists

minidodo started during the newborn weeks with our own baby, somewhere between a 3 a.m. feed and the tenth open tab about whether that little squeak was normal. Every small worry turned into a frantic search through forums, ads and advice that argued with itself, and none of it sounded like it was written by someone who had actually been up all night.

What we wanted was simple: the boring, solid answers from sources doctors actually trust, written kindly, kept in one cozy place, and findable with one hand while the other holds a small person. We could not find it, so we built it, for our baby and for yours.

How guides are sourced

• Every guide cites official health organizations (NHS, the American Academy of Pediatrics, WHO, CDC, The Lullaby Trust, NICHD) or peer-reviewed papers via DOI links, which are designed never to break.
• Every link is machine-checked to be alive before it ships, and each guide shows when its links were last verified.
• Where numbers appear (temperatures, diaper counts, timings), they come straight from those sources, not from parenting folklore.
• Guides stay universal: no country-specific numbers or schedules, so the advice holds wherever you are reading from.

What this site is not

minidodo is not medical advice, not a diagnosis machine, and not a substitute for your pediatrician. It is the calm friend who says "here is what the good sources say, and here is when to stop reading and call." Every guide has a red box for exactly that moment, and thewhen to call for help guide is the master list.

Found a mistake?

Medical guidance evolves, links move, and typos sneak in. If something looks off, check the primary sources linked at the bottom of every guide, and trust them over us.
