Contact
One address, read by one person, usually within a week.
Write to the Lab
There is no contact form, partly because forms lose messages and partly because a plain email means you keep a copy of what you sent.
- Corrections
- The page address and the sentence in question. If you have a source, include it and the correction goes to the front of the queue.
- Questions about a guide
- The age of your child and what is happening at night, in a sentence or two. Specific is answerable; "any sleep tips" is not.
- Press and permissions
- Say what you need and by when. Photographs are public domain, so you do not need to ask to reuse them.
- What we cannot answer
- Anything medical: feeding volumes, reflux, medication, growth, breathing. Those questions go to your paediatrician or health visitor, and no email reply here should be read as a substitute.
What happens to your email
It sits in a mailbox and is answered by Mara Ellison. Nothing is added to a mailing list, because there is no mailing list. If a question turns out to be one a lot of people ask, the answer may become a section of a guide — without your name, your child's age, or anything else that identifies you.
If you would rather your message not be used that way, say so in the first line and it will not be.
