The Gentle Village Parent Library

Expert guidance for the questions that keep you up at night, from a midwife and IBCLC who gets it.

It's 2am, your baby won't settle, and you're three articles deep into Google feeling worse than when you started. This is the place you go instead. Calm, evidence-based answers you can trust, organised so you find exactly what you need, without the fear, the conflicting advice or the overwhelm.

  • Development, oral function and airway

    Tongue ties, oral function and the things most parents are never told, with real guidance from a specialist who does this every day, not generic internet advice.

    Reflux, colic, poops and food sensitivities explained calmly. Understand what the symptoms mean and what genuinely helps, with no fear-mongering.
