Supporting you and your baby with expert, in-home care

At Nurtured Steps, we’re here to guide families through the early days of parenthood with compassionate, personalised support — right from the comfort of your own home.

Founded by experienced Midwife, IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant), and Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist Melissa, Nurtured Steps specialises in helping parents understand and manage the reasons behind unsettled babies. From oral dysfunction and feeding difficulties to tongue ties and food intolerances, we focus on uncovering the root causes and creating a gentle, effective care plan tailored to your baby’s unique needs.

Gentle, Evidence-Based and Family-Centered

We know how overwhelming those early days can feel-the questions, the exhaustion, and the desire to do what's best for your baby. That’s why our approach is always grounded in empathy, clinical knowledge, and a deep respect for each family’s unique journey.

Whether you’re looking for answers, reassurance, or hands-on help, Nurtured Steps is here to walk beside you — every step of the way.
