Hey everyone, Major big wins this past week! Daphne is 6 months so I’ve officially started making oxtail bone broth and following Which Foods When sequence. The chiropractor has noticed more room in the roof of her mouth when adjusting. I have also got my Methylation results back: MTHFR Gene Mutation C677T and A1298C - both heterozygous and associated with increased risk of thromboembolism. Vitamin B12 (378 nmol/L), Serum Folate (54.4 nmol/L), Homocysteine (12.5umol/L). Would methylated B complex tablets be a good start? Overall feeling so relieved and grateful to prioritise the health of me and my family 💕

Hi everyone, my baby is now 10 months old - time truly flies! When he was first born, he didn't latch even though I felt like we tried to do everything right. My baby boy was placed on my chest for skin to skin for three uninterrupted hours, but he never went to latch. We struggled with feeding in those early days and saw multiple lactation consultants both in hospital and once we were home. Feeding was incredibly painful. At one of my private midwife appointments we were told he had an upper lip tie and that it would likely get worse and that he would struggle to ever feed properly or gain weight. I won't lie hearing this really stressed us. Part of me wondered, what if they were right? Without anyone properly assessing the inside of his mouth, we were given a number to have his upper lip lasered and told that this woukd fix everything. Instead my husband and I continued taking him to Simon and we worked gently on his body tension (caused from the way he came out of the birth canal) and supporting him to latch more effectively. Interestingly Simon was never concerned about his upper lip and after learning more about this, what my son had began to seem very normal. As weeks went on, we began to learn more about one another and I stopped pressuring myself and my baby to feed in a cetain way or hold a certain position. When I let go of these expectations, he latched and he figured it out on his own. No cutting, no lasering just time and support. Now ten months later and my baby boy is thriving and we're pretty much breastfeeding pros 🤍

This is a patient testimonial from a child that was booked in for a revision of his tongue tie after having difficulty with speech concentration and swallowing and within two months has had complete resolution and healthy coordination of everything to do with his tongue and mouth and throat

Hey everyone, I feel so informed and empowered with your content about methylation! I have already been told from my obstetrician and midwife to take aspirin and calcium tablets for my next pregnancy to prevent pre eclampsia. It would be interesting to gauge your thoughts and hopefully help other mummas!

After Daphne’s appointment today, I asked for more information about her tongue tie to the chiro (new one since Nov 2025). She said it’s posterior and shallow. Daphne still has a gag reflex when her palate is adjusted. I’m not sure whether the nipple shield is affecting this or if I should try feeding without it. Is there also anything I need to be mindful of when introducing foods at 6 months if Daphne is ready? Thanks heaps ❤️
