About This Information
ProbaBaby provides health and wellness information for educational purposes only. This information is designed to support — not replace — the relationship between you and your healthcare providers.
We believe informed parents make better decisions for their families. The information in this app is compiled from reputable sources to help you stay informed and ask better questions during medical appointments.
Not Medical Advice
ProbaBaby does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. No content in this application — including vaccination schedules, growth charts, screening tools, recovery timelines, or educational articles — should be interpreted as professional medical guidance.
The information provided does not create a doctor-patient or healthcare provider relationship between you and ProbaBaby or its developers.
Always seek the advice of your physician, midwife, pediatrician, or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.
Vaccination Information
Vaccination schedules displayed in ProbaBaby are compiled from publicly available data published by health authorities including the World Health Organization (WHO), U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and regional health agencies.
- Schedules shown are general national guidelines and may not reflect local recommendations
- Your pediatrician may recommend a different schedule based on your child's individual health needs
- Regulatory approval information (FDA, EMA, WHO prequalification) reflects published data and may not be current
- Vaccine safety data presented summarizes publicly available clinical evidence and is not exhaustive
- Always follow your healthcare provider's vaccination recommendations for your child
Growth Charts & Development
Baby growth charts in ProbaBaby use the WHO Child Growth Standards, which describe the growth of healthy children in optimal conditions. Developmental milestones are based on published guidelines from organizations such as the CDC and AAP.
- Growth percentiles are statistical references, not pass/fail benchmarks
- Every child develops at their own pace within a range of normal
- A single measurement tells much less than a pattern over time
- Milestone ranges are approximate — significant variation is normal
- Only your child's healthcare provider can properly assess whether growth or development concerns exist
Mental Health Screening (EPDS)
ProbaBaby includes the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), a validated 10-question screening tool developed by Cox, Holden, and Sagovsky (1987). The EPDS is widely used by healthcare professionals as an initial screening instrument.
- The EPDS is a SCREENING tool, not a diagnostic instrument
- A score from this app is NOT a clinical diagnosis of postnatal depression or any other condition
- Many factors can influence your score, including recent sleep patterns and temporary stressors
- Both high and low scores should be discussed with your healthcare provider for proper interpretation
- If you are experiencing thoughts of self-harm, please seek immediate help — contact your healthcare provider, go to your nearest emergency department, or call a crisis helpline
Postpartum Health Monitoring
Postpartum recovery tracking features, including red flag detection for warning signs like excessive bleeding, fever, or severe pain, are based on general guidelines published by organizations such as the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). These features are designed to help you stay aware of potential warning signs, NOT to provide medical assessment.
- If the app suggests you may be experiencing a warning sign, contact your healthcare provider promptly
- Not all warning signs will be detected by an app — trust your instincts
- If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, call emergency services immediately
- Recovery timelines and milestones shown are general estimates and vary significantly between individuals
Emergency Birth Guide
The emergency birth guide provides general reference information compiled from publicly available medical education materials.
- Is intended ONLY for situations where professional help is unavailable
- Does NOT replace emergency medical training or professional assistance
- Should ONLY be used after calling emergency services (911/112/your local number)
- May not cover all possible complications or scenarios
- Emergency contact numbers are sourced from public directories — we recommend verifying your local emergency number
Fertility & Conception Tools
Ovulation calculators, fertile window estimates, and cycle tracking tools use standard calendar-based calculations. These are general estimates based on statistical averages and your provided cycle data.
- These tools should NOT be used as a method of birth control
- Actual ovulation timing can vary significantly from calculated estimates
- Many factors affect fertility beyond cycle timing
- Consult a reproductive health specialist for personalized fertility guidance
AI Predictions & Genetic Traits
Baby photo predictions and genetic trait calculations use statistical models and AI-generated imagery. They are designed for entertainment and to spark curiosity about genetics.
- Predictions are probabilistic estimates, not guarantees
- AI-generated images are artistic interpretations
- Genetic trait probabilities are simplified models of complex biology
- Results should not be used for any medical or legal purpose
- This is not genetic testing or genetic counseling
Emergency Resources
If you or someone you know is experiencing a medical emergency, call your local emergency number immediately or go to the nearest emergency department.
If you are experiencing thoughts of self-harm or suicide, contact your local crisis hotline (available in our Support Resources section), go to the nearest emergency department, or call emergency services.
You can find crisis hotlines and support resources for your region in the Support Resources section of this app.
