🙋‍♀️ Does this sound familiar?
You finally make it out the door.
You’ve barely managed to get dressed. You sit down at your local café, desperate for caffeine — and then it hits.
You’re leaking. 💧
The baby’s screaming. 😭
They won’t latch long enough to get a full feed, and they’re hungry. 🐛
It’s your first time feeding in public. 🍽️
And your mum leans in and says: 🙋‍♀️
“Have you tried relaxing?” 🤬

🤱Feeding is a learned skill. If it’s hard today, reach out to a qualified lactation consultant (IBCLC) or a GP who works with infant feeding for practical help.

🧘🏼‍♂️This is what self care look like as someone who works at Baby Steps…

🩺 We look after our own health (and our families health).
👉 We pop in to see Kelly (Acupuncturist at Baby Steps) who treats our body aches, and relieves tension and stress.
👉 We get our skin checked by Dr Shaun Segal (Skin Cancer Surgeon at Baby Steps) and he has literally saved our lives!
👉 We take our children to see Dylan Grogan (Occupational Therapist at Baby Steps) to help with their emotional regulation, school adjustments and communication.
👉 We get help from Jen Cuttriss (Sleep Specialist at Baby Steps) to bring our sanity back and get our families on a healthy sleeping routine.
👉 We have Emma Cransberg (Pelvic Physiotherapist at Baby Steps) help us get our bodies back after having a baby - there’s been a lot of those over the last couple years. .physio.collective
👉 We chat to Yoann Roy (Counsellor at Baby Steps) when we need to work through things that feel bigger than we can manage.
👉 And most importantly, we treat ourselves to coffees downstairs at Louis Baxters - the best small dose therapy to carry you through the working day. ☕️

🦣 Parenting is hard. Postnatal depression doesn’t always look like what you expect — and often, parents don’t realise they need help until it’s urgent.
That means sometimes care can’t wait. Appointments may run over, and schedules shift in ways none of us can plan for.
If you’re waiting a little longer, thank you for your patience. It allows us to respond to the unseen struggles that walk through our doors every day.

“Modern day parenting is actually about parents and not about the children. we are stressed, we struggle to interpret our children’s behaviours, we compare our children to others, project our fears onto them. the answer in many cases, is about reducing our own stress. a lot of parenting problems would be solved if all parents looked after themselves - ate well, exercised, meditate, basic self care. 🧘‍♀️
The secret to parenting is in the word. PARENTing.”

For children under 10, a paediatrician is required to make the diagnosis of ADHD and prescribe medication. But due to long wait times across Perth, Baby Steps has developed a new assessment pathway to help families move forward sooner especially when symptoms are clear and urgent support is needed.

The Accelerated ADHD Clinic at Baby Steps Health Centre is designed to fast-track the assessment process for children with clear signs of ADHD. It provides timely access to diagnosis, which is essential for families seeking evidence-based treatment — including medication.

No referral is needed. You can book directly online. Select a GP Developmental Consult with a Baby Steps GP. Please book with either Dr Leon Levitt OR Dr Georgie Stanton, as they are currently the only doctors offering the accelerated pathway while the program is in its early stages.

Here’s how it works:
At your GP Developmental Consultation…
If ADHD symptoms are clear and there are no complicating factors, the GP may:
* Request parent and teacher questionnaires
* Coordinate reports from a psychologist, speech pathologist, or OT
* Order relevant screening tests

(Disclaimer: Notice the use of IF and MAY. Just because you book the appointment, does NOT guarantee a diagnosis of ADHD. This is a clinical decision made by your doctor.)

You’ll return for a second review appointment with the GP to go over all collected reports and questionnaires. From there:
* If the ADHD criteria appear to be clearly met
* And there are no complicating concerns (like trauma, co-occurring conditions, or diagnostic uncertainty)
→ The GP will consult directly with the Baby Steps paediatricians.

If the case is accepted for fast-track, a joint one-hour appointment will be booked where the GP and paediatrician meet with you together.

In this session, the paediatrician will:
* Review all findings
* Confirm the diagnosis
* Provide medical oversight
* Begin a treatment and management plan — including medication, if appropriate.

This pathway typically begins within a few weeks of your initial enquiry. This collaborative model significantly reduces wait times and ensures a smooth handover between providers — while keeping families supported throughout.

Remember the GP Developmental Consult is the entry point for all developmental concerns at Baby Steps.

Your GP will:
* Gather a full developmental and behavioural history
* Identify whether ADHD is a likely concern
* Screen for any overlapping conditions
* Discuss referral options - to Psychology, OT, Speech Therapy, Music Therapy, Dietetics, Physiotherapy…
* Begin the documentation process

If you’ve already had one in the past, but are only just finding out about this new clinic, you will still need to start with a 30 minute GP appointment. Please book with either Dr Leon Levitt OR Dr Georgie Stanton. They are currently the only doctors offering the accelerated pathway while the program is in its early stages.

Is anyone else struggling right now with getting their child to do what you want? 🙋‍♀️
We don’t mean difficult things like eating dinner. We mean the little things like brushing teeth, getting undressed, getting dressed, not killing your sibling.
Dylan (from Capacity Builders) has officially become the Levitt Family OT. And since no family members have been killed since - we can highly recommend him.
If you don’t know Dylan, he speaks fluent kid, and has a ton of strategies to help parents recognise their children’s patterns of behaviour and relate to them in ways that minimise conflict around small everyday tasks. He has a team of superstars in occupational therapy - Sarah Viney, Lynne Scheepers and Megan Reid. We love having them at Baby Steps.
Progress report coming soon.

Struggling to make sense of naps, awake windows, and how much sleep your little one really needs? 😴 Our Sleep Specialist, Jen Cuttriss, has put together free resources on her website sleepthrivegrow.com — including her Sleep Cheat Guide for Parents.

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. 🪿

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.
