The question every single parent asks me in their first private visit — and the answer that changes how they see the next few months.

"Is my baby doing okay?"

It doesn't matter how many books you've read or how ready you thought you were — that question is sitting there, usually before I've even taken my coat off. And every single time, my answer is the same: it's a completely normal thing to ask, and asking it doesn't mean anything's wrong.

That first visit isn't just a check — it's permission to stop guessing and start feeling reassured. I'm here to talk through exactly what I'm seeing, answer the questions you've been too afraid to ask out loud, and give you something to hold onto for the weeks ahead.

Save this for your first visit — or DM me if you'd like to book one.

Parents once stopped me mid-visit and asked, "Hang on — what are you actually checking right now?"

Fair question. It's not just weight and boxes ticked.

Half the reason I love running these is what happens while everyone's waiting.

Come along for our baby weigh clinic — a quick, friendly growth check with a proper catch-up thrown in. No appointment needed, just pop in, bring the pram and the questions, and grab a coffee while you're at it.

It's a brief check, not a full consultation — so if you need something more in-depth, a longer 1:1 home visit, or you'd like to host a workshop for your group, just get in touch and we'll sort something that works for you.

Would you like to host a workshop for your group or attend one at the everyman, just get in touch.

What I wish someone had told me before my first scan.

That it's okay to feel hopeful and terrified in the same five minutes. That googling everything at 2am doesn't make you dramatic — it makes you human. That "just relax" is, quite honestly, the worst advice anyone will give you. And that needing support through this doesn't mean you're not strong enough to do it alone — it means you don't have to.

This is the part of the journey nobody really talks about out loud. It's normal to feel all of it at once, and none of what you're feeling is wrong.

If this resonates, drop a 🤍 below — you don't have to say anything else.

And if you'd like someone in your corner properly, no pressure, just support — send me a private message.

Reviews like this are exactly why I love running these sessions. 🤍

Weaning is exciting, but it can also feel like a lot, especially the choking worries. Nobody should start it feeling anxious. Thank you so much for such kind words, and I'm so glad you left feeling calmer and ready to get going!

And thank you for all your questions. Every one of them helps the whole room.

Want to join the next weaning workshop at Everyman Cinema Harrogate? Send me a message to join the waiting list. 🤍

Reflux. Colic. Cow's milk protein allergy. Three different things — and on a hard day, they can look almost identical.

All three can mean a crying, unsettled baby who's tricky to feed. That overlap is exactly why so many parents end up confused (and Googling at midnight).

This isn't a diagnosis — only a GP, health visitor or paediatrician can confirm what's going on. But knowing the difference helps you ask the right questions and get taken seriously sooner.

Ever noticed how hands-on NHS support is in the first couple of weeks — and how much more spaced out it becomes after that?

Here's the real timeline: 3 midwife visits in your first 10 days, a health visitor contact around 2 weeks, then the 6–8 week check. After that? Officially, nothing routinely scheduled until your baby is 9–15 months old.

Swipe to see the actual gaps →

This isn't a dig at the NHS — health visiting teams are doing incredible work on very limited time. It's exactly why I do what I do: filling those gaps with unhurried, 1:1 support whenever you actually need it, not just when it's scheduled.

Where would extra support have helped you most?

Reading this made my day. 🤍

A baby weigh clinic isn't just about the number on the scales. It's the chance to sit down, ask the questions that have been going round your head, and leave feeling a bit more sure of yourself. And I'll always take the cuddles. 😊

Thank you so much for such kind words.

📍 Next baby weigh clinic: Tuesday 13th October, Everyman Cinema Harrogate, 10.45am - 12.30pm

Cinema Baby Club members: free. Everyone else: £5 per baby. Just pop in, no booking needed.
