Terms of use
Plain and short. The most important line is the first one: this site is for information and encouragement, not medical advice.
Last updated: August 2026
Using this site
You're welcome to read, share, and use Cradle & Compass for your own personal, non-commercial use. Please don't copy the content wholesale to republish it elsewhere, or use it in any unlawful way.
Accuracy
We work hard to cite reputable sources and keep information current, and we show our sources so you can check them yourself. Even so, medical understanding evolves and no resource is perfect. We make no warranty that the content is complete or error-free, and we can't be liable for decisions made based on it. Your provider is the right person to apply any of this to you and your baby.
Affiliate disclosure
Cradle & Compass is produced in affiliation with a home newborn-care and circumcision practice, My Home Circumcision. Some links point to that practice, and referrals help support this free resource. We disclose that relationship wherever it's relevant, and it never changes our commitment to showing the evidence on all sides of a decision.
Links to other sites
We link to outside organizations (like professional directories and research) because we think they're helpful. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content or their privacy practices.
Changes
We may update these terms from time to time. The "last updated" date above will always reflect the current version.
