Space for you as a new parent
The early months can bring joy, questions and a need to be heard.
A changing rhythm
Becoming a parent is a significant change. I bring my previous experience as a midwife and health visitor to the way I listen to parents, while working in a separate role as a homeopath.
When your baby is unsettled
Crying and unsettled periods can be difficult to cope with. If you are worried about your baby, contact your health visitor, midwife or GP. Seek urgent medical advice if your baby seems unwell. Do not delay getting help in order to try a complementary approach.
Care for the person caring
Parents need space to talk, too. A consultation is an opportunity to describe your experience and ask questions about the way I work. I do not claim that homeopathy treats colic or other conditions in babies.
Choose with clear information
There is no good-quality evidence that homeopathy treats health conditions. Always check any remedy or complementary product with your baby’s healthcare professional first.
This is a personal reflection, revised from the original journal. It is not medical advice. Read about homeopathy and the evidence.
