Reading this made my day. 🤍

A baby weigh clinic isn't just about the number on the scales. It's the chance to sit down, ask the questions that have been going round your head, and leave feeling a bit more sure of yourself. And I'll always take the cuddles. 😊

Thank you so much for such kind words.

📍 Next baby weigh clinic: Tuesday 13th October, Everyman Cinema Harrogate, 10.45am - 12.30pm

Cinema Baby Club members: free. Everyone else: £5 per baby. Just pop in, no booking needed.

Today is World Mental Health Day, so let's say the quiet part out loud: it's not just new mums who struggle. Partners do too. And needing support with how you're feeling isn't a sign you're doing this wrong — it's a sign you're human.

Part of what I check at every visit isn't just baby — it's you too. How you're sleeping, how you're coping, whether you've got someone to talk to.

If today's a heavy day, you're not alone — drop a 🤍 below.

If you need someone to talk to properly, your GP or health visitor is a good place to start — and so am I.

What a brilliant day at the Yorkshire Baby & Toddler Show! 🤍

I loved chatting with expectant and new parents about everything from feeding and sleep to those "is this normal?" worries. It's always a privilege when someone trusts you with their questions.

It was also lovely to meet so many other local businesses supporting families around here. A special mention to:

Thank you to for putting on such a well-organised event.

Returning to work after maternity leave is far more than a logistical challenge it is an emotional transition that requires care, structure, and time.

Balancing your career ambitions with the needs of your growing family often brings up an unexpected mix of guilt, anxiety, and excitement. Please know that feeling conflicted does not mean you aren't ready; it simply means you care deeply.

Here are three ways to make the transition smoother for both you and your baby:

🌿 Phase in changes early: Shift nap times, childcare drop-offs, and feeding routines 2–3 weeks before day one so your baby’s system adapts gradually.
🌿 Expect temporary shifts: It is common for babies to seek extra comfort or wake more frequently at night during major routine changes.
🌿 Prioritise your mental health: Transitioning back to executive or demanding roles requires mental clarity. Setting up clinical, hands-on support at home removes unnecessary friction.

As a Private Health Visitor, I work with parents across Harrogate and North Yorkshire to design bespoke return-to-work plans—covering everything from sleep adjustment and nursery settling to routine planning and emotional well-being.

In 25 years as a paediatric nurse and health visitor, I’ve seen how the shift into parenthood can make even the most confident executive feel completely out of their depth. Navigating midnight feeds, sleep deprivation, and childcare anxiety while preparing to return to work is one of the highest-risk moments for employee burnout and talent loss.

The truth is simple, behind every thriving working parent is a well-supported parent. 🤍

By partnering with forward-thinking HR teams and People Operations, I provide employer-funded private health visiting packages that protect maternal mental health, ease parental stress, and build lasting corporate loyalty.

How We Support Your Working Parents:
🌱Perinatal & Fertility Support: Non-judgmental guidance through IVF, pregnancy, mental health readiness, and birth planning.

🌱1:1 Clinical Home Visits: Unhurried expert care covering feeding, infant sleep biology, baby growth, and maternal wellbeing checks.

🌱Return-to-Work Transitions: Tailored guidance on weaning, nursery transitions, and balancing infant routines with professional performance.

Investing in your employees during their most vulnerable transition isn't just compassionate care—it's smart retention. Let's start a conversation about bringing specialist clinical home visits to your benefits strategy.

What actually happens at a free baby weigh clinic — filmed live at Everyman Harrogate with OoberMama by ooberfit by ooberfit

No appointment, no fuss — just pop in. Here's exactly what I check and why: a weight and growth review against your baby's own centile chart (not anyone else's), a quick chat about feeding and how you're both getting on, and time to ask whatever's been on your mind since your last NHS check.

It's clinical, but it doesn't feel clinical — half the room is usually chatting over a coffee while they wait.

Ever wondered what actually happens at one of these, or been curious to pop in?

Watch this space for the next clinic date.

Packing your hospital bag can feel like packing for a holiday where you don't know the weather, the duration, or what you're actually doing once you get there!

After 25+ years in paediatric nursing and health visiting, I've seen parents bring everything . But when it comes down to it, simplicity and comfort win every single time.
