There’s a growing push on social media towards laser for releasing tongue tie.
In fact, you can book in for the procedure at a dentist, without having a clear, functional assessment.
However the latest research indicates that only around 1% of babies referred for tongue tie release required referral for laser.
Scroll with caution.

A first OT visit can feel unfamiliar.
That’s why sessions are designed to be calm, playful, and led by the child — allowing them to build trust in their own time.

“I know I’m not going to like this…”
Dr Leon explains…
There’s an increasing narrative that the tongue is central to overall body development.
The difficulty with that idea is that it can inflate the perceived importance of the tongue beyond what the evidence supports, and in turn, increase the likelihood of diagnosing tongue tie where it may not be clinically significant.
Tongue tie assessment should be grounded in function — especially feeding — and guided by evidence-based frameworks, not broader theoretical models.

His view: with so much information circulating online, tongue tie assessment should remain grounded in evidence-based medicine. 🔬

Every speech pathologist works a little differently.�Nicole’s approach is calm, thoughtful, and deeply attuned to the child in front of her. 🌿
She pays attention to the small things — how a child responds, what makes them curious, when they feel confident enough to try. 🐊
Nicole creates the kind of environment where communication starts to feel natural. 🐳
We love having her at Baby Steps.

We’re looking to partner with a small, established GP group, paediatric team, obstetric or women’s health practice that is ready to grow — but wants to do it in a purpose-built, well-supported environment.
Here’s what that means practically:
• A brand-new fit-out, designed collaboratively�• 7–8 additional consulting rooms (or a configuration tailored to your model)�• Independence of your own brand and practice�• Access to shared infrastructure, systems, admin, nursing and marketing support�• An embedded referral network within an established multidisciplinary centre
Baby Steps would take on the lease and manage the development. You focus on clinical care and growing your practice — without the operational burden.
We’re located directly above Subiaco Train Station, walking distance to St John of God Subiaco, with strong community and professional referral relationships already in place.

Our Story

Baby Steps Health Centre is a professional caring service for new families led by experienced GP Obstetricians, General and Developmental Paediatrican, Lactation Consultants, Speech Therapists and Women’s and Paediatric Physiotherapy. We offer expert medical health checks, child health appointments and lactation consultant appointments at home or in our centre. Our interdisciplinary services include a Tongue & Lip Tie Clinic and Feeding Assessment Team. We realized there is a service gap to the new family between the time of discharge from hospital up to the 6 to 8 week check with the GP. This is a very scary time for the inexperienced mother and father, where the mother’s body and the baby’s needs and responses are changing frequently, and where there often is a serious difference between the expectations of the inexperienced mother and the reality of parenting a newborn infant. This is a time where more assistance is required not less. This is where Baby Steps can help you. A child health centre with a difference. A difference created by medical and nursing expertise together with onsite women's health physiotherapists, psychologists, speech pathologists, paediatric physiotherapists and podiatrist. An integrated, multidisciplinary private health care centre to assist families in the early stages of parenting.
