Evidence Hierarchy & Standards

How We Check Every Single Milestone

Parenting advice in India is flooded with conflicting WhatsApp forwards, commercial pushes, and outdated advice. Here is the strict clinical standard behind all milestones in Jagruk Family.

Our 3-Tier Evidence Standard

Every milestone card carries a visible evidence badge so parents always know where the advice comes from.

1
Strong Evidence

Official Health Directives

Directives backed by national and international health bodies: Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP), FOGSI, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), WHO, and ICMR.

Examples: UIP Immunisation schedule, FOGSI antenatal checkups, Newborn vitamin K.
2
Established Guideline

Clinical Consensus

Accepted clinical practices and peer-reviewed pediatric or obstetrics standards published by AIIMS, AAP, NHS, CDC, and Indian statutory regulators (IRDAI, SEBI).

Examples: Screen-time boundaries, term insurance ratios, postpartum depression screening.
3
Traditional & Cultural

Traditions Checked by Science

Careful Indian customs evaluated against modern infant safety. We affirm loving cultural practices while drawing a hard line on dangerous habits.

Examples: Coconut oil massage (safe) vs kajal in newborn eyes (unsafe, lead risk).

Our Four Non-Negotiable Rules

Zero Sponspored Health Advice

We never accept commercial sponsorship or brand kickbacks for recommending vaccines, baby foods, formula, or medical treatments.

Never Overrule a Doctor

Jagruk Family organizes timing and preparedness. Your personal pediatrician and gynecologist always have final authority.

Honest Uncertainty

When evidence is mixed or emerging, we say so plainly. We never pretend clinical consensus exists where opinions still diverge.
