Apps tell you what to do. Guides explain why.
When a baby arrives, a thousand new questions arrive with them. How much sleep is enough? Is it normal to cry after a feed? When can I introduce egg? Is that green diaper a problem?
Most apps answer with a number or a quick tip. But at four in the morning, holding a newborn, a number is not enough. You want to understand.
The Ribbon Family Guides are written for that: texts written with method, readable in short bits when you have two minutes, always there inside the app when you need them.

Written to actually be read
Each guide is split into short chapters with explicit titles and paragraphs meant to be read in a few minutes. No endless articles that lose you halfway: you find what you are looking for, when you are looking for it.
And each guide is connected to the rest of the app. When you follow a recommendation, tracking is already set up. When you log something, you know where to find the context.
Always yours, always offline
As with everything in Ribbon Family, the guides live on your iPhone. No accounts, no servers, no network required: once downloaded, they are there, even when the Wi-Fi at home does not reach or you are travelling.
