Frequently asked questions
Questions people actually ask
Is it free?
Yes. Guideline-grounded answers are free forever and unlimited, and no account is needed.
Where do the answers come from?
From actual paediatric guidance. Every answer cites the specific guideline or clinical source it comes from, and states clearly what it does not know.
What happens if my child's symptoms sound serious?
Explicit red-flag rules stop the conversation and tell you to go to hospital now, rather than carrying on with advice.
Why does it ask for my child's age in weeks?
Because answers are personalised by your child's exact age in weeks and their history, which is what makes generic advice useless.
Can I talk to a real nurse?
Yes, on the paid tier. You can escalate to a real paediatric nurse by message within minutes, and every escalation is reviewed to improve the automated answers.
What does the paid tier cost?
12 dollars a month, for nurse escalation, growth and development tracking, and a shareable record for appointments. Answers themselves are always free.
Can employers or health systems offer it?
Yes. Employers can offer it as a family benefit at 4 dollars per employee per month, and health systems can license it for triage deflection.
Why should I trust the parenting answer source check?
It looks at how an answer is sourced, not at your child, and it gives no medical advice. The score comes from your own answers in your browser. ChatParent's free answers cite the guideline or clinical source each one comes from.
Can you trust the answer you found online about your child?
Answer thirteen questions about an answer you found online about your child: where it comes from, who it is written for, its limits and whether it sells something. See what to look into before relying on it. Runs in your browser. No account, no card, no call.
