Feeding, breathing,
and reflux support.
A whole family approach.
How can I help you on your parenting journey?
Successful breast—and bottle-feeding involves many muscles, including the tongue! If your baby is experiencing discomfort or difficulty with feeding or you have concerns about weight gain, it’s a good idea to rule out tongue restriction.
Babies don’t always take to boob or bottle the way we expect them to, which can lead to tears, frustration and worry from everyone. We’ll work together to identify the underlying cause of feeding challenges and address them to suit your family.
Does your baby vomit after feeding? Look like they are always uncomfortable? Or cry for hours and hours? They might have reflux. Infant reflux is not normal but it is treatable. I can help!
Tiny humans need connection, not perfection.
When my second child was born, I expected to ace the early days of parenting. After all, I had done it before. Little did I know that my sweet boy would push me to my limits and beyond. For six solid months, I doubted my ability to love, nurture and nourish this baby I wanted so desperately.
If you are reading this in the trenches of navigating sleep deprivation, feeding challenges, seemingly endless discomfort from your little one, and your own sanity, I see you. You are doing an incredible job.
Parenting truly is the hardest and most rewarding job there is, and you deserve a village of support.
How we can work together.
If you’re anything like me, the last thing you want to do is add travel to your to-do list, especially in the throws of infant feeding challenges. I work best when I can observe your baby at home in your usual routine - pyjamas, messy hair and all!
Due to distance, illness, or just the number of things on your plate, I know home visits aren't always possible. With internet access and some home video, we can tackle your feeding challenges together, wherever you call home.
I’m a firm believer that where there is a will there is a way. I also believe that adding unnecessary stress to a family contributes to infant feeding challenges. When I was navigating my son’s reflux, the last thing I wanted to do was put him in a car seat, which he hated, to drive to a specialist office only to be told that his discomfort was normal and offered a bandaid fix. My commitment to you is to listen to your concerns, educate you on your options, and leave your family more empowered and, hopefully, more peaceful than when I met you.
About me.
Hello! My name is Summer, and I am a paediatric Speech Pathologist and certified in infant feeding and reflux management. I started my career working with children on the autism spectrum and made the switch to feeding after navigating the deep depths of reflux and tongue tie with my secondborn.
When I’m not working with beautiful babies and their families, I am exploring Adelaide with my two boys, curled up on the coach with a good book, or power-walking through our local park.
I can’t wait to meet you!
