Pregnancy/Babies/Toddler MN guides

[LittleSilver]

CAVEAT: I have not read any except the Pregnancy guide, which I skimmed in the library once.

Just a bit about them I suppose.

A lot of what I read on MN is good, interesting, etc etc. But I have also read utter tosh/advice with NO evidence base whatsoever and on one or two occasions, dangerous information. Now, I am not saying whoever edited these guides wouldn't have weeded the dangerous stuff out, but I can't really see myself buying a guide authored by a load of random people off the internet.

Also, I am assuming as I haven't found any info on this, that the royalties are going to the site's founders? Again, not really something that I am comfortable with seeing as it wasn't written by Justine Roberts et al.

Would be interested in hearing other people's views on this.

They are bloody genius

It sounds interesting actually, presume it would have a lot of ideas in it if its by so many people? I will have to look in our library if we have it, interested in the toddler one.
Obviously like any book if you didnt agree some of the advice noone would force you to follow it, you read it with your brain?

I clearly don't get it. If these guides are online then surely an e-mail to the web editor can weed out dangerous/ out of date information making them way better than a book.
Plus anyone doing reading must have enough sense to filter info. Possibly not for the baby guides as all intelligence passes from the body with the waters as they break, but by the time they're toddlers some common sense has returned.
