I have been delivering versions of this 2 hour workshop to NHS, Voluntary Sector and Public Health staff in person across the country between 2013 and 2020, and delivering it online to closed groups over the past 2 years, and I am now making an up to date version of it available via public webinar. If you are a health professional who wishes to know more, please join us.
Get in touch to register interest or if you would like to do a group booking for a session in your local area.
Here are some comments about the version delivered in April 2021:
“I attended your webinar on infant feeding yesterday – thank you. It was really insightful and extremely valuable.”
“It was really helpful to have the current evidence on colic, reflux etc and the scenarios were really useful, thank you.”
“Thank you so much for your talk, very interesting and informative!”
“Thank you again for a brilliant and very informative session this morning.”
“I’ve just sat in on your zoom talk about colic, reflux and allergies which was brilliant – thank you! It’s always been a bit of a gap in my knowledge so was really helpful.”

Here’s some parent feedback from a recent live session:
“I attended a [colic, reflux, allergies] talk last week with Shel. Really enjoyed the evening. Shel answered all my questions and more. I’m due to have my 4th child and I’ve had problems with feeding, colic and milk intolerance with all 3. I feel much more confident and aware of how to deal with any of these problems if they arise with number 4. I would 100% recommend you attend: the information on hand is invaluable to parents. I have in the past been to doctors, hospital, I’ve tried various products and nothing really helped, I just felt like I was doing something wrong. Shel goes through many scenarios and provides you with the knowledge, understanding and support to enable you to deal with these problems and more, should they arise. Thank you Shel.”
