If your baby is unsettled, crying more than expected, struggling with feeds, or not gaining weight as you hoped — it can be incredibly hard to know what to do next.
Many parents are told to “wait and see”… but when things aren’t improving, the biggest challenge becomes knowing who to see, when, and why.
This step-by-step roadmap is designed to help you navigate the Australian health system with more clarity and confidence.
Inside this guide, you’ll learn: • Where to start (GP or Child Health Nurse)
• How to tell if things are improving or worsening
• Which health professionals can help — and what they actually do
• When to escalate care (and how)
• How to navigate private vs public paediatrician pathways
• When more specialised support (like gastroenterology) may be needed
This is not a medical guide — it’s a navigation tool to help you make informed decisions and advocate for your child.
Created by a health professional and parent, this guide is designed to simplify a complex system and help you feel more confident taking the next step.
