The early weeks and months of your child’s life can be exciting — and overwhelming. It’s common for parents to have questions or concerns about feeding, growth, development, or behaviours that don’t feel quite right.
Dr Janaka has a special interest and extensive experience in neonatal and early infant care, and provides thoughtful, evidence-based assessments to support both babies and their families during this critical stage.
Consultations focus on understanding your child’s full history, addressing your concerns, and providing clear guidance you can feel confident about.
Common concerns we assess include:
- Feeding difficulties (breast, bottle, mixed feeding)
- Growth concerns or faltering weight gain
- Developmental concerns
- Excessive crying, irritability, or unsettled behaviour
- Rashes and birth marks
- Neonatal jaundice
- Follow-up for premature infants
- Follow-up of neonatal complications
- Concerns raised by maternal & child health nurses
- GP-recommended paediatric review
