The Early Parenting Collective with Jayne Vidler

12/06/2026

That was one SUPER productive day! 🚗💨

I’ve just wrapped up a full-day online business intensive with my incredible business mentor and I absolutely loved it.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the in-person intensives too, but there was something magical about staying home, wearing my PJs, drinking cups of coffee, and staying focused on one project all day long.

I may have started the day with slightly delusional expectations that my course would be completely finished and ready to launch by 5pm... 😂

Realistically, I knew that wasn't going to happen.

What I did gain was so much clarity.

✨ I worked out how long each module is actually going to take to create (spoiler alert: much longer than I originally thought!).

✨ I mapped out pricing options to make the course accessible for families.

✨ I refined how the course will be delivered so parents can either work through the entire program or jump to the sections that are most relevant to their family and situation.

✨ I completed the content for the Intro Module and Module 1, which feels like a huge milestone and means this course is now really starting to come to life.

And honestly, that's exactly how it should be.

Because the course is built around what I'm calling The Tongue-Tie Roadmap.

Just like any road trip, there isn't one fixed path.

You can take a U-turn.
You can reverse.
You can revisit the same section multiple times.
Or you can take a completely different exit altogether.

The goal isn't to tell families what decision to make.

It's to help them navigate the journey, understand their options, and make the decision that feels right for them and their child.

From here, the plan is to dedicate one day each week to course creation so everything is ready to go when my new website and learning platform launch.

For now, here's a little sneak peek at the roadmap that's been taking shape behind the scenes. 💕

And to everyone who has already shared their experiences, thank you. I've been reading every comment. I haven't forgotten about you, and I'll be coming back to respond properly soon. Your experiences are helping shape this course in ways that will benefit so many other families.

This Friday I’m spending the entire day in an online business intensive with my incredible business mentor,

From 9:30am until 5pm, my focus will be on continuing to build something I have dreamed about creating for a long time — The Tongue-Tie Roadmap.

This course is being designed for parents of babies and toddlers with tongue ties, lip ties and buccal ties. But unlike many courses, its purpose isn't to convince families to release or not release.

Its purpose is to provide balanced, evidence-informed information so families can make the decision that is right for their child.

For some families, a release feels like an easy decision.
For others, it's a decision that comes after weeks or months of questions, research and uncertainty.
And for some families, the answer is a firm "no" — but they still want to understand what to watch for, how to support their child's development, and what options are available.

I want this course to answer the questions parents wish someone had answered for them.

So I'd love your help.

💛 If your baby or toddler had a tongue tie, lip tie or buccal tie...

• Did you choose release or not?
• What information do you wish you'd had sooner?
• What questions were hardest to get answered?
• What do you know now that you wish you'd known at the beginning?

Your experiences may help shape this course and support other families navigating the same journey.

I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments or drop me a DM.

I've been a little absent from social media these past few weeks.

Between creating and recording my conference presentation, supporting families in clinic, and then being completely taken down by a nasty illness, posting has definitely fallen to the bottom of the priority list.

The reality is that sometimes there simply isn't much left in the tank for content creation, and that's okay.

So instead of a perfectly curated post, here's a photo of Misha and I enjoying some much-needed couch snuggles a few weeks ago. 🐾❤️

I'm back to feeling human again and looking forward to sharing more with you soon.

Breastfeeding Conferences aims to offer quality educational programs in a variety of formats. Online and face to face, because networking and sharing ideas are an important feature of our seminars.

When families come to see us, it’s rarely just about one issue.

It might be feeding, sleep, unsettled behaviour, or development.

But underneath that is often:
• Exhaustion
• Overwhelm
• Conflicting advice
• Feeling unsure what to trust

Our approach is holistic.

We consider:
• Baby’s feeding and development
• Your wellbeing and capacity
• What’s realistic for your family
• Practical, sustainable strategies

Support isn’t about doing everything perfectly.

It’s about finding what works for you, your baby, and your family as a whole.

One of the biggest challenges IBCLCs share with me is feeling like they have to figure everything out on their own.

Clinical decisions
Complex cases
Business structure
Client flow

It can feel isolating, especially in private practice.

Mentoring creates space for:
• Talking things through
• Gaining perspective
• Building confidence in your decisions
• Feeling supported while you grow

You don’t have to do this alone.

If you’ve been thinking about getting support, this could be a really helpful next step.

You’re welcome to reach out at any time.

DM me if you’d like to join or find out more.

One of my amazing mentees/colleagues/friends recently gifted me this mug… and honestly, it couldn’t be more me.

We had a conversation a while back about how often I get asked if I’m a midwife.
I’m not.

I’m a registered nurse with postgraduate experience and qualifications in maternal and child health, special care nursery, paediatrics… and of course, my IBCLC certification.

For the longest time, my go-to response has been:

“I do b***s, not vaginas.”

Because that’s exactly what I’m trained in.

Breastfeeding.
Infant feeding.
Babies.
Motherhood.

And supporting families through all of that.

So Sara had it put on a mug for me… and I absolutely love it.
