Clinical expertise for brands in weaning, feeding and early communication
We help brands make their weaning, feeding and early years products and content accurate, evidence-based and trusted by parents.
Who We Work With
Parents are surrounded by products and advice, and they can tell when something has been written with real clinical knowledge behind it. We partner with brands who want that knowledge built in from the start.
Weaning food brands
First foods and textures that match how babies actually learn to eat.
Tableware, cup and utensil brands
Feeding tools designed and described around oral motor development.
Infant feeding brands
Breastfeeding products and support, with guidance parents can rely on.
Parenting platforms and media
Educational content, campaigns and features that need a clinical voice.
Early years brands
Products and content linking feeding, play and early language development.
Our Areas of Expertise
Between us we cover the whole picture of early feeding, from the first feed to family mealtimes, and how all of it connects to communication.
Weaning
Readiness signs, first foods, baby-led and spoon-led approaches, texture progression, gagging vs choking.
Infant feeding
Breastfeeding, bottle feeding, responsive feeding, reflux and feeding difficulties.
Fussy eating
Food refusal, picky eating, mealtime routines and positive family mealtimes.
Oral motor skills
How chewing, drinking and eating develop, and the cups, utensils and textures that support them.
Early communication
The link between feeding and speech, early language development and play.

What happens on the discovery call?
It's a free 15-minute chat. We'll ask about your brand, your goals and who your audience is, and talk through where clinical input would make the biggest difference. There's no obligation.
