About Rowena
I was a registered nurse and midwife before having children of my own. Like many parents, I suffered from chronic sleep deprivation and postpartum depression as a result of the stress associated with caring for crying, sleepless babies. Thankfully, not infant feeding problems.
The challenges I experienced in caring for my babies influenced my professional career. After my youngest started school, I trained as a mental health nurse and later undertook further studies to become a child health nurse and lactation consultant (IBCLC).
From 1995 to 2015 I was employed as a child health nurse to assist parents to resolve infant feeding and sleeping problems and provide parenting advice at an Early Parenting Education Center in Australia. There, I literally worked side by side with parents and their babies for 8 hours a day for 4 to 5 days in a row. Working so closely with families provided countless opportunities to observe first-hand a diverse range of feeding and sleeping problems that trouble healthy babies and toddlers.
My years working at the center provided opportunities to learn what works and what doesn’t when it comes to the care of physically well babies. And how to adapt infant feeding and settling strategies to meet the needs of individual babies and their families.
In 2002, I decided to start an online parenting consultation service. Hence, Baby Care Advice website was developed. Since that time, we have assisted thousands parents from around the globe to resolve their baby or toddler care problems.
What our clients are saying...
Excellent program. I wish there was more education for doctors and speech pathologists about this area. Our paediatricians, neonatologist and speech pathologist had never heard of your aversion theory and the steps to overcome it. There will continue to be misdiagnoses when this behavioural problem continues being misdiagnosed as medical in origin. I certainly won't make the misdiagnosis in the future for my patients and I'm thankful that this experience has taught me about this aversion theory. I'm not a big Facebook person but I've honestly found the FB support group helpful. Thank you so much for your exemplary program
Very grateful for this program! Very practical advice that makes logical sense and is easy to understand. My son started his bottle aversion at 6-7 weeks old we ended up in hospital on nasogastric feeds for failure to thrive and he was diagnosed with a milk intolerance and silent reflux, so he was started on a prescription formula and reflux meds. After reading and completing this program I believe that he had a behavioural aversion as he was very happy between feeds and had been a completely relaxed baby before this timeframe so understanding the involuntarily/voluntary suck reflex made a lot of sense as to why my baby that fed perfectly fine no longer did. This program was life saving and we managed to overcome his aversion in two weeks!
Our 3 month old started having troubles nursing around 3-4 weeks old. We saw several LC who threw around various ideas about a strong let down, tongue tie, weak suck, etc. We did get her tongue, lip and cheek ties released around 2 months and was basically exclusively pumping. Still, bottles were challenging and it got to the point where we had to "sneak attack" (feed her while still asleep) in order for her to take bottles. Reading the book and online program, we kept thinking--this was written about our baby! After several trips to doctor, OT, chiro, dentist- this is what I believe ultimately helped bottle feeding to be a pleasant and happy experience for our baby. And us!
