Unsettled babies

Description
Parenting an unsettled baby can be distressing and frustrating, especially when you feel like your concerns are not being heard. My guest this week, Shel Banks IBCLC, is working to help parents to address their worries, calm their babies and ultimately calm them. In our conversation, we touch on colic, reflux and faltering growth, looking at what each term really means and how they can be addressed. We also talk supplements, exclusion diets and probiotics.  Find out more about Shel at www.shelbanks.co.uk or follow her on Instagram @shel_banks or Facebook www.facebook.com/ShelBanksIBCLC Find out more about breastfeeding and chest feeding older babies and children in my book Supporting Breastfeeding Past the First Six Months and Beyond: A Guide for Professionals and Parents Get 10% off two of my books with the code MMPE10 from 21st December 2023.
