🩺 Patients don’t just want good medical care. �✨ When they walk in the door, they want to feel calm, understood and taken seriously.
📈 That part of healthcare often gets dismissed as “the business side.”�🙈 In Australia, a lot of doctors are uncomfortable with that.
🤷 But in private medicine, in 2026, it’s no longer optional.
🧠 The experience around the medicine is actually what patients remember most.

Most parents assume they need a paediatrician.
But a lot of the time, they don’t.
They just need a GP who’s actually trained in baby and child health — and knows what they’re looking at.

Dylan spends a lot of time watching how a child communicates.
How they respond, what gets their attention, what doesn’t.
Then he changes how he interacts to match that.
It’s a small thing, but it makes a big difference.
And it’s what helps them feel comfortable in a therapy setting.

“No risk of bleeding.” That’s how laser gets positioned. Because no parent wants to see their baby bleed.
But a simple scissors frenotomy remains a well-established technique and, when performed by an experienced clinician, carries a negligible risk of significant bleeding.
You will be sold medical procedures on social media. Before you click, just ask yourself, are they feeling my anxieties, or trying to ease them? And if you’re not sure, ask your GP.

There’s a growing push on social media towards laser for releasing tongue tie.
In fact, you can book in for the procedure at a dentist, without having a clear, functional assessment.
However the latest research indicates that only around 1% of babies referred for tongue tie release required referral for laser.
Scroll with caution.

“I know I’m not going to like this…”
Dr Leon explains…
There’s an increasing narrative that the tongue is central to overall body development.
The difficulty with that idea is that it can inflate the perceived importance of the tongue beyond what the evidence supports, and in turn, increase the likelihood of diagnosing tongue tie where it may not be clinically significant.
Tongue tie assessment should be grounded in function — especially feeding — and guided by evidence-based frameworks, not broader theoretical models.

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.
