Emotional support
Better Beginnings with Dr Miriam Inder
The process of becoming a parent can be tough.
The process of growing a little one and then bringing that little one into the world is extraordinary, and all birth experiences are different. From your first child to your second, third, fourth and beyond. Pregnancy and birth are not always happy and positive and that’s OK.
Pregnancy, birth and becoming a parent can be full of ups and downs. There are big changes happening and not only do you give birth to a new little person but to a new you.
You don’t need to go through any of those moments alone. Whether you’re grieving after pregnancy loss, struggling to process a difficult birth or battling with how you feel about becoming a parent.
Every woman, birthing person and their partner should feel supported during this time and you can be.
Weaning & fussy eating

Nutrition for Pregnancy
Welcome to Nutrition for Pregnancy with Alex Allan Nutrition!
I’M so glad you’re here.
As with most things in pregnancy and parenting, there is A LOT of information about nutrition to navigate, and it can be hard to know what you need to take note of. Our course simplifies it all, empowering you to make the right decisions for you.
Our Nutrition For Pregnancy course breaks it all down so you feel confident you have the information you need and know how it applies to YOU. It doesn’t just give you a list of foods you shouldn’t eat but a foundation for healthy living for your pregnancy, into the postpartum period and beyond.
Get ready to embark on a journey towards a nourished and vibrant pregnancy and 4th trimester making informed choices for both you and your baby’s well-being.
Alex guides you through a number of different nutrition topics to ensure you have the information you need not only during your pregnancy but for labour and into parenthood too.
Eating well doesn’t end when you give birth. You need energy and nutrition for healing and while most of the attention may turn to your little one it’s very important that you and those around you recognise that you need time and support to heal and adjust too.
The simplest place to start is with food.
Feeding support
Milk Making Mama With Maria Betsworth (IBCLC)
Unbiased, evidence-based feeding support that is unique to YOU!
Feeding support can be one of the most lacking areas of support on your parenting journey. You prepare for your birth, create a plan and look forward to the day your little one is in your arms but no one really prepares themselves for those first few days, weeks and months with their little one and the amount of time you’ll spend feeding them.
It’s not until you find yourself at 3am needing advice and help that you start to think about where you can get that support.
We think of feeding our little ones as one of the easiest areas to deal with when looking after a newborn until we get to it. Not only is there the decision of finding the right feeding route for YOU and your baby but then navigating all the different feeding areas and options – combination feed, going back to work, deciding if it’s the right decision FOR YOU to wean off the breast, starting solids and how to combine that with milk, expressing, and more!!
We believe that getting feeding advice and support BEFORE you get to the 3am feed when you desperately need it is so very important and should come hand in hand with preparing for your birth. So, preparing for your feeding journey while you’re pregnant, when you’re not desperately trying to find unjudgmental advice in the middle of the night, is a must.
Maria is an international board-certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) and is here to help and support you through your feeding journey. She can answer all your questions and will listen to your worries, doubts and concerns providing unbiased, evidence-based support that is unique to YOU.
She’s your go-to for all things feeding!
