Everyone is talking about milestones. 🤖 Talking, comparing, worrying and panicking. If you’ve been following any of Dr Leon’s advice, you’ll know he strongly believes that the best thing you can do for your child is to give them healthy and sane parents. ☕️ So if you’re at all concerned about your child’s development, try to avoid the online rabbit hole of milestone checklists. 👻

Let us do the work for you. We have collected Perth’s leading specialists in child development - with Occupational Therapists, Speech Therapists, Physiotherapists, Dietitians and Music Therapists all within our centre. 🏥

It’s also worthwhile to mention that we don’t recommend sitting with your concerns and just seeing how they play out over time. Not only because it’s another stress you don’t need to hold onto as a parent, but because your child deserves to develop with confidence. 🦄 Recognising developmental delays early on can give your child the opportunities and support to develop new skills. Research suggests the quality of nurturing and support provided in the early years influences a child’s ability to learn, their behaviour, their ability to control emotions and their risks for disease later in life. If your child does in fact need therapy, the sooner it’s implemented the better the outcomes.

And if you don’t know which health professional to seek out, or you just have general inquiries, make an appointment to see a Baby Steps GP. 👩🏻‍⚕️ They will be able to help with general concerns about your child’s development, and point you in the right direction for more tailored therapies. 🪿

🌞 When it comes to developmental concerns, your GP is the one who can guide the next steps. They’ll listen, assess what’s most relevant, and recommend which specialists or assessments will actually help your child.
Our reception team is here to help with bookings and practical questions, but they can’t decide which pathway or therapy is right — that decision needs to come from a doctor who knows your child’s full story.
If you’re worried about your child’s development, start with your GP. They’ll help make sense of it all, and point you in the right direction.

It’s the small things that matter:
A kind word when life feels heavy.
A calm space when everything else is loud.
Specialists who talk to each other, not past each other.
And a place where every family belongs.

The developmental years of children are the most important years of their life.

Every child is unique, and will develop at their own pace. But when a child’s development varies off course, their path is not always clear. Subtle setbacks are often overlooked, but are still so important to address. Research tells us that early intervention treatments can greatly improve a child’s development.

For concerned parents, trying to figure out the right steps to take can be challenging, especially if your child hasn’t received any formal diagnosis. And we know how frustrating the waitlists are for formal Paediatric assessment.

For all those worried and waiting parents - Baby Steps has many developmental specialists within our centre.

The GPs at Baby Steps have been specially trained in the holistic management of child development and behaviour. They see children experiencing developmental delays, autism spectrum disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorders, learning difficulties and behavioural challenges.

* They listen to parents share their concerns about their children, and take the time to understand their child’s developmental history.
* They offer practical strategies you can implement in your child’s life today.
* They help parents navigate the child development system - finding and accessing the appropriate resources and service providers.

They also have access to all the in-house development professionals - with Occupational Therapists, Paediatric Physiotherapists, Speech Pathologists and Psychologists available for consultation.

The GP approach is child-centred, sensitive, and friendly, and consultations are tailored to the specific needs of individual children.

Baby Steps is here to help your children grow with confidence, one (baby) step at a time.

🦧 Most parents don’t respond to their children the way they intend to. When we’re stressed, we make mistakes, and that’s normal. When our children make mistakes, being hard on them is not going to achieve anything, and certainly doesn’t make them stronger. It’s those moments when they need compassion and understanding the most. And this is exactly what parents need too, when we make mistakes. Parents need kindness and support - not criticism or judgement.

In Light of Current Daycare Safety Stories…It’s normal to feel uneasy dropping your child off. You might ask yourself:
🐝“Have I chosen the right place?” 🐝 “What if they’re not watched closely today?” 🐝“Can I truly trust them?”
Your concerns are valid—and in no way excessive.

Here’s What We Know:
🐛News reports have revealed serious incidents of abuse in childcare settings—cases that never should have happened.
🐛These stories are rare—but they are real. They shine a spotlight on systemic issues like understaffing, insufficient checks, and profit prioritising safety.

So What Does Protecting Them Mean?
1. Stay informed Check your centre’s policies: staff training, supervision levels, safety protocols, or CCTV use. Transparency matters.
2. Keep connected The best centres welcome your questions. They chat about your child’s day. They let you peek in.
3. Be cautious, just enough Positive separation experiences help children develop independence, confidence, and social skills. It’s normal to feel protective — but giving them space to explore (with the right support in place) is an important part of healthy development.

Practical Steps You Can Take Today:
🐞Ask about supervision, staff ratios, and phone policies
🐞Visit early morning or late after nap to observe
🐞Choose a “good enough” centre that invests in safety
🐞Check in regularly—getting happy updates is a good sign
🐞Keep talking to the staff, and your child

Protecting our children means finding the balance — giving them room to grow, while making sure the environments they’re in are safe, well-run, and genuinely attentive to their needs.
Ask the right questions, trust your instincts, and chat with a trusted GP if you have any doubts.

There’s a lot of noise out there about child development — what should be happening, when, and how. It’s easy to feel like you’re behind, or not keeping up.
Asking questions doesn’t mean something’s wrong.
It just means you’re paying attention.
And the best person to ask is someone who’s trained to help — not just well-meaning, but well-informed.

Our Story

Baby Steps Health Centre is a professional caring service for new families led by experienced GP Obstetricians, General and Developmental Paediatrican, Lactation Consultants, Speech Therapists and Women’s and Paediatric Physiotherapy. We offer expert medical health checks, child health appointments and lactation consultant appointments at home or in our centre. Our interdisciplinary services include a Tongue & Lip Tie Clinic and Feeding Assessment Team. We realized there is a service gap to the new family between the time of discharge from hospital up to the 6 to 8 week check with the GP. This is a very scary time for the inexperienced mother and father, where the mother’s body and the baby’s needs and responses are changing frequently, and where there often is a serious difference between the expectations of the inexperienced mother and the reality of parenting a newborn infant. This is a time where more assistance is required not less. This is where Baby Steps can help you. A child health centre with a difference. A difference created by medical and nursing expertise together with onsite women's health physiotherapists, psychologists, speech pathologists, paediatric physiotherapists and podiatrist. An integrated, multidisciplinary private health care centre to assist families in the early stages of parenting.
