Testimonials

Our Founder

A Paediatric Nurse for 23 years, Heidi Young, has worked in many Paediatric Hospitals in Australia and the UK. With experience in Emergency, ICU. Medical, surgical and most other specialities, she has seen it all…twice over!

For the last 9 years, Heidi niched down and has been the Clinical Nurse Specialist in Childhood Allergy at a large Sydney-based children’s hospital.

She has spoken at large events and expo’s, as well as podcasts (most memorably babyology), covering our most emotive topics of choking in an infant and introducing common allergy foods and recognising an allergic reaction.
 
We are now partnered with Playgroup NSW and Calmbirth, and we have many exciting projects in the pipeline. 
“We are on a mission to create a feeling of competence, confidence and self-preparation for the long road of parenting for the modern family!”

Heidi's story

When the baby started choking, my baby first aid training kicked in…

In 2019, I found myself in a Sydney park where a terrifying incident unfolded. A 6-month-old baby began choking on a piece of sausage, her face turning grey, and she stopped breathing. The panic was palpable as her mother cried out, unsure of what to do.

Acting on instinct, I approached the distraught mother and immediately began administering choking first aid to the infant. Despite nearly five back blows, the situation grew more dire, and I feared I might need to resort to chest thrusts or even baby CPR.

Then, a moment of immense relief as the baby expelled a massive vomit. The tension released, and I felt as though I emerged from a laser-focused fog, shaking but grateful.

You see, in that moment, I knew what to do. It was instinctual, automatic. I didn’t pause to think; I simply acted.

And that’s exactly how we want you to feel after completing one of our baby first aid and CPR courses. We want you to be equipped with the knowledge and confidence to act decisively in emergencies, just like second nature.
