“If it wasn’t for Susan, I literally can’t imagine how we would have coped.”

You are exhausted. Everyone has advice. None of it quite fits your baby.
Susan comes in, spots the problem fast, and either fixes it or hands you a routine that does.

One problem at a time.
Clear answers. Practical help.
Results that last.
Settling, waking, and building a routine that actually holds.
Spotting it, managing it, and knowing when it is something else.
Getting a baby onto the bottle. Usually needs a visit.
What is really going on, and how to ease it.
Starting the right way. Vegetables first, puddings last.
Susan's specialism, and more than 30 pairs of them. One shared routine, so you are not doing everything twice.

No downloads. No generic schedules. Susan builds the answer around your baby and your family.
See how it worksNot sure which one you need? Message her and she'll tell you straight. If a call sorts it, that's all you pay. If she thinks it needs a visit, she'll say so upfront rather than take your money for a call that can't fix it.
A clear answer
A focused call to get to the bottom of the problem and tell you exactly what to do.
Best for: sleep, settling, and advice you can act on yourself.
Most families need this one
Susan writes a full routine around your baby and your family. Not a template. A plan she writes for you, then helps you land.
Best for: when you need structure, not just an answer.
Hands-on help
For the hands-on problems. Susan comes and stays until it is solved, teaching you what she is doing as she goes so it sticks after she leaves.
Best for: bottle refusing, feeding, and anything that needs doing rather than explaining.



Susan Whytock, newborn care specialist and baby troubleshooter. The person parents call when nothing else is working.
