Rules that apply to baby products
| Area | What to know |
|---|---|
| Product safety | Products must meet UK safety rules and carry the right marks. Journalists and reviewers may ask for test evidence. |
| Sleep products | Any sleep claim must be consistent with safer sleep advice. Never imply a product prevents sudden infant death. |
| Infant formula | Infant formula for babies under six months cannot be advertised in the UK. Follow-on formula has strict rules too. |
| Health claims | Claims about development, colic or immunity need strong evidence or should not be made. |
General guidance, not legal advice. Check with a product safety or regulatory expert.
Two kinds of review
Editorial reviews and awards
Parenting titles and buying guides test products independently. Send samples, accept honest results and never ask for approval of the review.
Parent creators
Parents with an audience can share real use. Gifted or paid posts must be clearly labelled as ads, and children’s privacy must be respected.
Stories parents want to read
A real problem solved. The founder who could not find what they needed and made it.
Expert advice. A midwife, sleep consultant or paediatric expert adds trust, as long as their advice is independent and accurate.
Sustainability. Reusable, second-hand and longer-lasting products, with claims you can prove.
Value. What parents really need, and what they can skip. Honest guidance builds trust.
Parenting titles in our network
Most UK parenting coverage is earned. If you sell in North America, our publication network includes parenting titles such as Scary Mommy, Romper, Fatherly, Today’s Parent in Canada and Parent Herald. Booked features go live within 14 days of approval or you get a 100% refund.
Listed in our network, October 2026. Terms, including link treatment, are confirmed in writing before you book. Google asks that paid links are marked as sponsored or nofollow.

Baby brand PR questions
What does PR for a baby brand do?
It earns reviews, buying-guide places and stories that help parents trust your products, while keeping safety and honesty first.
Can you get our product into a buying guide?
We pitch with samples and evidence, but editors and testers decide. Guaranteed features are available only in titles from our publication network.
Can we use parent influencers?
Yes, if posts are clearly labelled as ads where gifted or paid, and children’s privacy is respected.
Do you work with baby brands outside the UK?
Yes, including overseas brands launching in the UK and UK brands entering the US.
What claims should we avoid?
Any health, sleep or development claim you cannot prove, and anything that conflicts with safer sleep or feeding guidance.
How much does baby brand PR cost?
There is no fixed price. Every campaign is planned around your goal and the titles you need. Share your goal and budget in the form below for a personalised plan.
