Something Feels Off
A guide for parents who know their baby’s feeding isn’t quite right — and want to explore why
Something feels off. Let’s look at the layer underneath.
Most feeding support focuses on position and attachment. That support matters, and for many babies it’s enough. But sometimes it doesn’t reach the layer sitting underneath — the body, the reflexes, the nervous system.
This free guide is about that layer.
- Spot the patterns that are easy to miss
- Gentle ways to look at your own baby, at home
- Possible explanations for what you’re seeing
Almost twenty years working with babies and their families

You haven’t been imagining it.
“They’ll grow out of it.”
“They’re a lazy feeder.”
“They have a strong neck.”
You haven’t quite got to the bottom of it yet — but that doesn’t mean you can’t.
I’m Felicity.
I’ve spent almost twenty years working with babies and their families, across clinics in Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire. The patterns in this guide are the ones I see again and again.
I wrote it for you — the parent who has tried things, read things, asked questions, and is still looking.
Because you’re usually right.
