Bottle Refusal

It is not uncommon for breastfed babies to develop a strong preference for the breast, and completely refuse to accept a bottle.

This can feel incredibly frustrating and isolating for the nursing mother who is then solely responsible for feeding the infant until they are either completely weaned from milk (usually after 12 months) or can begin drinking milk from a cup (usually around 10 months)..

If you are having difficulty introducing a bottle to your baby, or wish to stop breastfeeding completely, we can help you.

100% success rate. 

Having a Baby?

At The Happy Baby Company, our motto when it comes to preparing to welcome a baby is “Start Strong”.

Booked during pregnancy, or within the first 7-10 days post birth, this package offers you a completely bespoke service whereby one of our consultants will visit your family at home, and over the course of a day, teach you everything you need to know about caring for your newborn within the first 3 months.

Maternity Nursing

The role of a Maternity Nurse is to offer guidance and support to parents, and care for the newborn (up to 4 months).

Working with one of our qualified maternity nurses following the birth of your baby (for a few nights, several weeks, or even months), allows for the opportunity to not only physically recover from your birth and get some extra sleep, but to also be supported by an experienced feeding specialist, and sleep expert, who can offer professional, caring and practical guidance in establishing excellent feeding and sleep practices from the very beginning.

About Sarah

Maternity Nurse and Paediatric Sleep Expert

I began my career training as a Paediatric Nurse from 2002 to 2005 at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh. My training gave me a wealth of knowledge and experience in many clinical areas including: A&E, Medical Paediatrics, Speciality Surgery (short stay and long stay), Neurology, Burns, and Neonatal / Special Baby Care, to list a few.

Upon graduation, I undertook further study and training and embarked on a career as a qualified maternity nurse, travelling extensively working with newborns in London, Paris, New York, Dubai and Qatar. During this time, I embraced the opportunity to continue my education and advance my knowledge and skills working alongside speech and language therapists, special feeding therapists, and physical therapists. I also trained as a Birth Doula at the prestigious Mount Sinai Beth Israel Hospital In New York City.

In 2013 I made the decision to return to Edinburgh and began my journey as Director of an incredibly successful Maternity Nurse Agency. I am so proud of the positive impact our company has had on the hundreds of families who have had their lives improved from our help, support and encouragement. At the heart of our team is the core belief that every baby matters, every child matters and every family matters. There is no “one-size fits all”  but rather a personalised and bespoke support package for each and every child and family that we meet.

I have 2 very energetic little boys of my own who keep me very busy and constantly learning. I’m passionate about empowering parents to make informed choices, and most importantly, helping parents to enjoy their parenting experience!
