Medical Advice Disclaimer for Mommy Sloth

Last updated: November 30, 2025

1. We Are Parents, Not Medical Professionals

Mommy Sloth is a parenting website created by Robert and Tara — parents to two boys (one autistic, one neurotypical). We share our personal experiences, what worked for our family, and general parenting strategies that many moms find helpful.

We are not doctors, therapists, or licensed medical professionals.
Nothing on this website is medical, therapeutic, or clinical advice.

The information provided is educational in nature and based on:

• Our personal journey as parents

• Research we’ve personally reviewed

• Real-life routines that help moms feel calmer and more confident

Your situation, your child, and your needs may be different.

2. Always Talk to Your Pediatrician or Healthcare Provider

If you are facing a medical concern, health emergency, or serious behavioral issue:

Always consult your pediatrician, primary care provider, or licensed specialist.

Mommy Sloth should never replace:

• Medical diagnosis

• Professional mental health services

• Speech/occupational therapy

• Emergency advice

• Autism evaluation

• Child development assessment

You should never delay seeking professional help because of something you read on Mommy Sloth.

3. No Mandates, Guarantees, or “One-Size-Fits-All” Solutions

Every child is different. Every mom is different.

We do not promise:

• Specific outcomes

• Developmental progress

• Improvements in sleep

• Emotional or behavioral changes

• Autism-related improvements

• Reduction or elimination of symptoms

Anything we share is what worked for our family or other moms in our community.

Your results may be different.

4. Autism, Neurodiversity, and Sensory Needs

We write about parenting neurodivergent children because we live it every day.
But we are not autism experts, clinicians, or evaluators.

Information about:

• Autism

• ADHD

• Sensory processing

• Delays

• Milestones

is offered as:

• Lived experience

• Support

• Reassurance

• Signs to bring up with professionals

• Questions to explore

It is not:

• Diagnostic advice

• A substitute for evaluations

• Therapy

• Treatment plans

• Professional recommendations

5. Mental Health Content

We talk openly about mom overwhelm, burnout, stress, and emotional struggle.

This is support, not therapy.

Mommy Sloth does not provide:

• Counseling

• Mental health diagnosis

• Crisis intervention

• Professional care

If you are struggling mentally or emotionally:

• Call your healthcare provider.

• Reach out to a mental health professional.

• Seek immediate help if you feel unsafe.

6. Emergency Situations

Do not use this site during emergencies or urgent medical issues.

If you believe you or your child may be in danger:

• Dial 911 (or your local emergency number)

• Visit your nearest emergency department

• Seek immediate care

7. Product Recommendations and Safety

We recommend products based on:

• Our own parenting experience

8. Affiliate Disclosure

• You take full responsibility for your actions

We are parents walking beside you — not above you.

10. Changes to This Disclaimer

We may update this disclaimer as our site grows, our content evolves, or laws change.
We will update the “Last updated” date at the top when we do.

If You’re Unsure, Ask a Professional

We want you to feel calm, not scared.
But if something feels serious or confusing:

Talk to your pediatrician or licensed provider.
They know your child’s medical history — we don’t.

Closing Thought

You’re a good mom.
You’re doing your best.
Use Mommy Sloth as a gentle guide — not a substitute for real medical care.
