For pediatric professionals

If you are a pediatrician, dietitian, IBCLC, feeding therapist, midwife, or doula, this page is the two-minute version of whether YummyYucky is safe to recommend to the families you work with. Short answer: look at our sourcing and our record, not our marketing, and decide for yourself.

Handouts you can use today, no app required

Free, printable, and sourced. Many professionals use these on their own, whether or not a family ever installs anything:

• How to cut food to prevent choking, by age and shape
• Gagging vs. choking, the difference and what to do
• Foods to avoid in the first years, with the reasons
• The baby poop color chart, shrug vs. call
• The full printables library, and 1000+ food guides with age-by-age prep, cited sources on most pages, and coverage of global and diaspora foods most resources skip

What your families get from the app

• Allergen introductions, dated and watched. Every introduction is logged, a watch window follows each first taste, and reactions are recorded with what, when, and how bad, so a visit starts from a record instead of a memory. These safety features are free on every plan, permanently, as policy.
• The numbers you ask for, free. A visit glance for the newborn checkups averages feeds, changes, nursing minutes, bottle volume and the longest sleep over the days the family fully logged, and a last-24-hours screen puts temperatures, doses, feeds, changes and sleep with their times on one page, ready for a nurse-line call. Families on Plus can also bring the full checkup report, growth included.
• The whole day, one record. Nursing with each side's minutes from a left and right timer, bottles, and combo feeds, so a top-up a lactation plan calls for is logged with the nursing and counted as one feed. Solids, pumping, sleep, diapers, and medicines too, shareable across the family and any caregiver you would want informed.
• Guardrails on what gets logged. A dose of 0, one with no unit, or one far above any infant dose is refused wherever a dose is logged, and voice logging asks rather than guesses when a word like “dairy free” could change which food it was.

For orthotists, eye teams, audiologists and orthopedic teams

This is for the orthotists, pediatric physical therapists, orthoptists, pediatric ophthalmologists, pediatric audiologists and pediatric orthopedic surgeons who prescribe, fit or follow children wearing helmets, eye patches, hearing aids or braces. Once a family turns on the wear tracker, which is free on every plan, this is what they see:

• Hours on, beside your goal. Each day's hours worn sit next to the daily goal the family types in from you. The app shows the two side by side and never says whether a day was enough.
• The schedule. A family can start from a published schedule, one that builds up over the first days or steps down over months, or enter yours, and the app tells them to check with you first (for a helmet, Hanger Clinic, Gillette Children's or Nicklaus Children's; for an eye patch, Newcastle Hospitals' example; for a hearing aid, the example from Success For Kids With Hearing Loss; for a clubfoot brace, step-downs from the Ponseti International Association and eight hospitals; for a hip harness or brace, step-downs from the International Hip Dysplasia Institute, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and SickKids).
• Skin checks. A check of the skin where it sits, with an optional photo kept in the family's private health photos. An answer the care handouts say to call about is answered with a prompt to call you, or the child's doctor where the handouts say so.
• The history, for the next visit. Every day back to the first day, with each time on or off logged by whichever caregiver tapped it, and shared across the household's phones.

To recommend it, the practice link and QR card below work for this too. For families, each of these has a day-to-day guide built from the care handouts of children's hospitals and clinics. Each one marks where they differ, sends those questions back to you, and ends at the tracker:

• Helmet: Life with a baby helmet
• Eye patch: Lazy eye patching
• Hearing aid: Baby hearing aids
• Clubfoot brace: The clubfoot brace guide
• Hip harness or brace: The hip harness and brace guide

Our standards, stated plainly

Our guides are built from current published guidance (AAP, CDC, FDA/EPA, NIAID, WHO). 151 of the 160 list their sources on the page, and every one shows its review date. Our editorial and medical policy says what we will not do, and our public changelog records every correction we make. We will also tell you what we have not done: our content has not yet had independent review by a pediatric professional, and we will not pretend otherwise. When a qualified reviewer signs a page, their name and credentials will be on it.

If reviewing infant-feeding content is work you do professionally, we want to hear from you: hello@yummyyuc.ky.

Privacy, because you will be asked

Parent-funded, never data-funded: no ads, no ad trackers, no data sales. The only third-party analytics script is Plausible, a cookieless page-view counter. Voice logging is transcribed on the device. Health photos are walled off from every share and keepsake surface. The full picture is in our privacy policy and plain-English privacy guide.

Recommending, and knowing it mattered

If you decide to recommend YummyYucky, email hello@yummyyuc.ky and we will make your practice a dedicated link and a printed QR card, so you can see whether the recommendation actually helped anyone. No commissions, no kickbacks, nothing to disclose: we do not pay for referrals, we just want to know if the families arrived.
