About Mil Dias

Mil Dias is an editorial science guide for the first thousand days of life — from birth to age three. The project was born from a personal need: to organize, in one easy-to-consult place, the most solid findings in neuroscience, pediatrics, nutrition, and developmental psychology that make a real difference in parents’ daily lives.

Why it exists

New parents are bombarded with opinions — from click-driven social media, from brands selling solutions, from family traditions that mix accumulated wisdom with myth. Much of this isn’t grounded in science. Some of it is actively harmful.

The idea here is the opposite: to translate solid evidence — from Harvard CDC, AAP, WHO, I-LABS, and peer-reviewed systematic reviews — into welcoming reading, without guilt and without empty prescription. When evidence is weak or contradictory, we say so explicitly.

Who writes it

Daniel Garcia (sole author at this point), a Brazilian software engineer and father. I’m not a pediatrician. Each article is built from the cited scientific sources with editorial care, and — where relevant — reviewed by healthcare professionals before publication. When an article has been reviewed, that’s visibly indicated.

Commitment

This content is informational and educational. Nothing here replaces individual pediatric guidance. If something is worrying you, see a doctor.
