Every parent is unique
Every BabyCenter member has the right to share and celebrate their unique parenting journey. Our community is a place of personal free expression, where we value the honest exchange of ideas and experiences with support.
Responsibility starts with you
Remember that everything you read in our community areas comes from other members. Because our community is so large, BabyCenter does not monitor or verify information posted by our members. We rely on you to notify us of violations. Information posted in our groups, including advice and opinions regarding medical matters, is the responsibility of the members who create the posts.
To keep this a safe place where differences in philosophies, beliefs, opinions and parenting styles coexist, follow these simple rules.
1. No personal attacks.
2. No racism or hate speech.
3. No attacks on sexual orientation or gender identity.
4. No medical misinformation.
5. Do not intentionally disrupt the Community.
6. No bullying or harassment.
7. No illegal activities.
8. No pornographic material.
9. Do not solicit or disclose personal information or private content.
10. No solicitation, advertising or marketing, except in designated areas.
