Babies sleep better when they are in close contact with their parents.

This is the biological norm.
Your baby won’t be “spoilt”
Your baby won’t become “dependent”
Your baby won’t be “unable to sleep on their own”.

Your baby will feel loved, connected, calm, regulated, soothed, warm, comfortable, safe…

When your baby’s rapidly growing brain feels all of the above, it can form all of the intricate networks it needs for healthy development.

Never, ever let anyone tell you otherwise. Humans aren’t exempt from biological norms.

Merry Christmas everyone!

It’s been a big year of babies. Thank you so much to all the families who let me be part of their journey.
I also have the great privilege of working with many fabulous lactation consultants, GPs, midwives, Child and Family nurses and osteopaths. Thank you for all your support and advice throughout the year.

I’m taking some time off between now and the 15th January.

Have a fabulous time with your loved ones over the next couple of weeks.

here’s to 2026!
Lots of love

Large breasts can be tricky. Gorgeous Miss A feeds comfortably because her mum uses some rolled up burp cloths to lift and stabilise the breast so that bub can snuggle in and latch well without needing to hold the weight of the breast.

Remember that the breast should be the stable object, your baby is the moving part!

4 days post tongue tie release for this little darling. Nice wide diamond that is healing beautifully. This sweet baby couldn’t lift his tongue before, now he has perfect sleeping posture with his tongue lifted right to his palate. This helps encourage nasal breathing, which widens the nasal passages, reduces snoring and helps with optimal airway development.

A great catch up today with these three amazing women! Three of the best osteopaths in the Illawarra and Shoalhaven region for treating bubs.

Body work for babies can be awesome for helping with breastfeeding issues, resolving birth trauma and much more.

(It’s also fab for mums too)

Thanks for a lovely lunch, Jenny, Amy and Nicole!

🌸babies respond to the flow of milk🌸

Sometimes a very young baby can be quite sleepy at the breast. Mums are often given the advice to “wake baby up” and keep them drinking.

The problem is that if there’s no active let down, babies just go back to sleep. So instead of
❌ tickling
❌ stripping baby off to a state of being chilly
❌using a wet face cloth
❌blowing on baby’s face

Try
✅ breast compressions
✅ supply line/straw with EBM
✅ switching breasts frequently to trigger let downs.
