Do you have a newborn baby?

Would you like to feel calm and confident about parenting?

Would you like to reduce your baby’s crying and fussing?

Would you like to be able to filter out all the unwanted advice and information and focus on solutions that work for your family?

If your baby is under 8 weeks and you’re struggling with any of the following issues, I can help:

  • Colic and crying
  • Wind
  • Reflux
  • Suspected allergies
  • Your baby's sleep
  • Breastfeeding and bottle feeding issues
  • Meeting your parenting expectations
  • A difficult or traumatic birth
  • Feeling unsure and unsupported

We’ll use the NDC (Neuroprotective Developmental Care) framework to identify your family’s strengths and build on them, while providing additional support in the areas that are more challenging for you. 

Ultimately, you are the expert in your baby. My role is to help you find the right decisions for your family and to support you along the way. 

As a newborn specialist, I offer a bespoke and comprehensive approach to support you in the early weeks. I have the following qualifications, which informs the support I give:

  • 15 years experience as a midwife
  • Feeding specialist (IBCLC)
  • Accredited Neuroprotective Developmental Care practitioner
  • Holistic Sleep Coach (OCN level 6)
  • Certified practitioner in Brazelton Newborn Behavioural Observations
  • Certified 3 Step Rewind practitioner
  • Accredited training in Perinatal Mental Health (OCN level 4)
  • Accredited training in Infant Allergies, Reflux and Colic (OCN level 3)
  • Sling consultant
While I cannot diagnose medical problems, I can assess any of the listed issues. We can then discuss/implement a comprehensive list of interventions, which have been proven to reduce fussy behaviour in babies, improve feeding and sleep, and improve your confidence and mental wellbeing. If further professional support is necessary, I’ll help you find that support.
