Our Baby Support Assessment is a calm, family-friendly appointment in Northwood for parents who want to understand what might be contributing to feeding, settling, or comfort challenges  and feel clearer on next steps.

You're welcome to bring siblings. We're set up for real life with babies.

You might be looking for support if...

  • Your baby seems unsettled and you're not sure why

  • You're spending long stretches feeding, rocking, or bouncing and it still feels hard

  • Your baby struggles to settle in the cot or wakes very frequently

  • Feeding feels stressful (for you or your baby), even if you're not sure what the issue is

  • You're noticing tension in your baby's body (e.g., always turning one way, feeling stiff, or seeming uncomfortable)

  • You're getting lots of opinions and you just want someone calm to look at the whole picture

  • You want reassurance, guidance, and a plan that feels realistic

You don't need to wait until you're at breaking point. Support can start with simply getting clearer on what's going on.

How a baby assessment may help

Babies are adapting fast. Birth, feeding, digestion, sleep, and sensory input can all play a part in how settled they feel. At Flourish, we take a gentle, evidence-informed approach. Our aim is to understand what you're noticing, assess your babys movement and comfort, and guide you on appropriate next steps.

Your appointment may include:
 

  • Time to talk through your babys birth history, feeding, sleep, and what you've noticed at home

  • A gentle assessment of your baby's movement, comfort, and tension patterns

  • Age-appropriate, gentle care (if appropriate), always guided by your baby's comfort and your consent

  • Practical guidance you can use at home (positioning, handling, and simple strategies)

  • Clear next steps, including when to seek additional support from other professionals if needed

Every baby is different. We can't promise specific results, but we'll always explain what we're seeing and offer clear, appropriate guidance.

What to expect at your first appointment   

  1. We listen first - what's been happening, what feels hardest, and what you're hoping for

  2. Gentle assessment - we observe movement, comfort, and how your baby is coping

  3. Gentle care (if appropriate) - explained as we go, with plenty of pauses for feeds, cuddles, and settling

  4. A clear plan - simple next steps you can try at home, plus guidance on what to look out for

This is a baby-led appointment. We go at your pace.

If feeding or growth is part of your worry

If you’re feeling unsure about your baby’s weight, feeding, or growth (or you’re getting mixed messages), you don’t have to figure it out alone.

 

We run Weigh‑2‑Grow clinics in partnership with Mel, a paediatric dietitian. We have designed this to be a calm space for a weight, length and head circumference check and practical feeding/growth support.

Both Mel and Freya will be on hand to answer your questions where possible.

We can assess your baby’s movement and comfort and offer practical guidance. We will look at how this affects the baby's latch and If you need additional feeding support, we can also recommend appropriate professionals.

That's okay. Babies cry sometimes! We expect it. The appointment is baby-led and we can pause for feeds, cuddles, and settling.
