The 
Parenting questions, answered by real parents
The Smart Parent is a free community where parents ask questions, share what they have learned and support each other, from pregnancy to the teenage years.
What you can do
Ask anything
Sleep, feeding, health, school or behaviour: post your question, with a photo if it helps, and mark it urgent when you need answers soon.
The most helpful answers first
Parents mark which answers helped, so the best advice is always at the top.

Short reads from parents who have been there. Like them, comment, or apply to write your own.
Message other parents
Find parents in your county and with children the same age, and chat privately.
Safe and kind
Moderators, a language filter, reporting and blocking keep the community respectful.

Questions parents ask about the app

Who answers the questions?
Other parents in the community. Everyone can mark the most helpful answers, so the best advice rises to the top.
Is it safe?
Moderators look after the community. Posts with offensive language are held for review before anyone sees them, anything several parents report is hidden until it is checked, and you can block or report anyone.
Is the advice medical advice?
No. Answers are other parents' experiences. For your child's health, speak to a doctor or nurse, and in an emergency go to the nearest hospital.
