Feed Eat Speak

Fantastic experience: Stacey was recommended to us by our ENT Consultant at the Cromwell. Our son had just been diagnosed with an unsafe swallow. In spite of seeing other SLT’s and using thickener, our little boy continued to have a ‘wet sound’ when drinking fluids. Stacey really came to our rescue. She started from scratch and forensically came up with a treatment plan that has resulted in us not hearing any wet sounds at all. Our little boy is now doing really well. We really do regard Stacey as our Knight in Shining armour. I’d highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: Stacey helped with my son’s feeding issues and improving my milk supply, I cannot recommend her enough! Extremely helpful and took the time out to understand what was going on with my son. Thanks Stacey!

Fantastic experience: Stacey has been fantastic at helping us through our son's feeding aversion and helping us with his weaning journey. She is patient, empathetic, and has provided us with invaluable advice and guidance. It's a relief to know that should we have any other issues, we can go back to Stacey. Stacey's assistant (also called Stacey!) has been very helpful and professional as well.

Fantastic experience: Stacey is an amazing therapist! After just two sessions, my toddler’s eating and swallowing habits improved dramatically. Stacey is kind, knowledgeable, and she made us feel comfortable every step of the way. Her positive, warm approach truly made a difference. I highly recommend her!

Fantastic experience: Stacey provided an extremely helpful and thorough service. She was great with my son and made him feel very comfortable in the session. Her follow up was great and we have received ongoing support from her where required

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend Stacey enough for anyone who is in need of feeding help with a baby. She takes on board what you are saying as the parent (which not every consultant/therapist does!) and allows your concerns to be heard. Even through a difficult journey, having Stacey there makes you feel better about the situation. Highly highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: There is no one else I would ever go to for support with baby feeding/weaning. My daughter was born with a cleft palate (hole in the roof of her mouth) so feeding and weaning was challenging from day one. As soon as we were ready, we visited Stacey who gave us the confidence and tools to progress with weaning in a safe and confident way. Her professional and supportive approach is second to none and her “bedside manner” with babies is incredible. We feel incredibly lucky to have been able to work with Stacey and we’re so grateful for her expert advice and support.

Fantastic experience: Stacey was fantastic from the start, providing insightful guidance and valuable support for our son's feeding challenges. Her expertise made a real difference, and we've seen a noticeable improvement since working with her. We highly recommend Stacey to anyone in need of feeding support for their child.

Fantastic experience: Stacey was incredibly supportive, sensitive and helpful. We had a few sessions, all of which very useful, and we saw so much progress with each one. Would highly recommend her to anyone who needs support

Fantastic experience: Stacey was extremely helpful and more importantly approachable when consulting with our son, she answered any questions we had and went above and beyond to point us in the right direction to get to the bottom of our problems. Thanks Stacey x

Positive experience: I went to visit Stacey at her clinic with my son. She gave us insight into interception and did a feeding plan for my son which I shared with the nursery. She was attentive and understanding overall we had a good experience

Fantastic experience: We have been trying to wean our little one since 5.5 months. When he was 11 months old, I decided to get some help. He was not interested in foods, gagging, being sick sometimes. There was no set meals as he just was not interested and hated trying new things. He would scream and cry to get out of his chair and avoid eating. We saw Stacey twice and it has changed our lives. She noticed he had tongue tie that had been missed by GPs and health visitors. This explained his difficulty in trying to break down his foods to eat. Stacey referred us to a tongue tie specialist and we were able to get this sorted. Before, we did not have a breakfast, lunch or dinner as he was just not interested. Now we cannot go a day without offering all three meals, with some snacks in between. We still have a long way to go with trying new things and for him to gain better confidence with his eating but we would not have got where we are without Stacey’s help. All throughout, Stacey was kind, understanding and helpful which is exactly what a panicked and worried mother needs in these type of situations! Thank you so much Stacey.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Stacey enough. She provided us with support and guidance when we were struggling with our little girl's eating. She was open and understanding.

Fantastic experience: We sought the help of Stacey to wean off our 1.5 year old child from milk thickener. Stacey came up with a weaning plan which we were able to achieve our objective in a weeks time. We are grateful to Stacey as we wouldnt be able to achieve this through our NHS speech and language therapist.

Fantastic experience: Travelled multiple times from Staffordshire to see Stacey. She has provided fantastic support for my complex tube fed little girl. She has always had so much time to listen to our concerns and help put a plan together. She has lots of resources in her clinic to find out what works. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Stacey is an amazing consultant. She has transformed our bottle feeding and got us out of many difficult patches with solids. I also have found her online courses really helpful - especially the fussy eating one. Her approach is completely practical and she is very down to earth. We are huge fans! I've recommended her to many other mothers.

Fantastic experience: Stacey has helped us immensely. Our little one was a slow weaner and Stacey really reassured us and gave us tips to help. He is doing well and we know Stacey will be there should be need her again in this journey!

Fantastic experience: My 16 week old daughter Mia has suffered feeding difficulties, silent reflux and trouble with trapped wind,discomfort and pain since she was born. She's seen the GP numerous times and been treated with prescribed dairy free formula,infacol,dentinox, lactose reducing drops. I've been reading non stop about different remedies and help but no methods worked until I read your elevated side lying bottle feeding article. Well...it has completely cured Mias feeding difficulties, I was told by the health visitor and the GP to feed her in a sat upright position and wind for minimum of 30 minutes following each feed,so your article was the opposite but after trying it once Mia was like a different baby-enjoying her feed,burping halfway through and finishing her bottles in about 30 minutes instead of 3 hours! I honestly cannot thank you enough for your magical advice. Grace and baby Mia x

Fantastic experience: Stacy is truly exceptional! Her professionalism and warmth made our daughter's assessment a breeze. She effortlessly put us and our three-year-old at ease, creating a wonderful experience for all. I highly recommend Stacy for anyone seeking top-notch speech therapy services. Thank you, Stacy, for your outstanding care!

Fantastic experience: Stacey has been absolutely phenomenal!!!! We came to her desperate for our baby to be assessed for her feeding difficulties since weaning started at 6 months. (vomiting after every meal with purees , solids etc and struggles when manipulating her food around her mouth. We felt at a loss previously having been to professionals that couldn't diagnose her issues, and didn't assess baby properly, It was only when we got baby assessed by Stacey that she diagnosed baby with tongue tie ! This wasn't picked up by any of the other medical professionals we dealt with !! Stacey did a thorough assessment and explained to us what was going on and how she was going to help us . Stacey helped us get the tongue tie divided asap and is now working with us to help baby with her feeding journey now she no longer has tongue tie. We have only seen Stacey twice but our baby has made a lot of progress although she still has a long way to go . Stacey is so knowledgeable and obviously has a wealth of knowledge we feel so grateful to have found her ! Thanku so much Stacey!

Fantastic experience: Stacey and the team have been great at supporting us with our 3 year old's highly restricted eating. Stacey is really empathetic and works with us in collaboration whilst respecting us as experts in our son's needs and recognising what is realistic. Stacey has also provided me with practical, achievable and sensitive support around reducing breastfeeding. Sometimes we have just needed a few video calls to problem solve issues and get us back on track. We know we can always come back for support as needed.

Fantastic experience: Incredibly caring, supportive and thoughtful. Found the sessions extremely helpful and reassuring. Many thanks!

Negative experience: Very unfortunately, our feeding journey was cut short due to an outstanding cancellation fee which I had every intention of paying so instead they cancelled my appointment which I’d paid for and waited over a month for when my child needed urgent attention and they knew I was coming back into clinic. Stacey’s assistant is quite blunt and I’m not sure customer service is a thing to her… they very abruptly threatened that they would use my paid for appointment that I booked over one month in advance to cover the cancelled appointment. As someone who has had to seek advice and speak to many consultants about my daughters needs, and at times has had to open up and show vulnerability to a consultant, I didn’t feel looked after or cared about and to be threatened and then eventually cancelling our appointment is just so petty! Not to mention, Stacey had already met me, we’d already had an appointment - she knew I was juggling a newborn plus my toddler has additional needs plus it was Christmas and new year holidays so there was a lot going on.

Fantastic experience: I'm so grateful for Stacey's knowledge and the time she spent with me on a phone session to discuss my child's dysphagia. She was very helpful for the future when so many other healthcare professionals had not been. Stacey provides evidence-based research and ideas. Thank you so much, Stacey, you've made such a big difference in our lives!

Fantastic experience: Stacey helped us so much with my little boys feeding, she helped find us the answer to his problem. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Stacey basically saved my son's life, my sanity and my relationship. I owe her the world. It turned out my son had a severe tongue tie after being misdiagnosed and ignored by every other health professional we had seen - apart from Stacey. After she got his tongue tie removed, my son could start eating - he was so behind - and so nutritionally deficient, that if Stacey hadn't come to the rescue as she did I really fear for where we may have ended up. I now have a happy healthy 16 month old who (mostly) eats everything. I can't thank Stacey enough. I can't recommend her enough. She is remarkable at her job. Don't hesitate to book.

Fantastic experience: After feeling like I had hit so many dead ends with my daughter's feeding, I finally found Stacey. She provided my husband and I with the knowledge and tools to best support our daughter with her feeding. The advice she gave us has been invaluable and I would not hesitate to recommend her. We still touch base with Stacey and she is always welcoming and helpful. Knowing her door is always open should we hit any more bumps in the road provides us with great comfort. Thank you Stacey!

Fantastic experience: Stacey quickly responded to my email requesting an appointment. My consultation session with Stacey about breastfeeding was very reassuring, detailed and tailored to my specific needs. This gave me more confidence moving forward. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: From our very first appointment Stacey has been so supportive. I was really struggling with feeding my toddler and felt like there was nothing that could help. With Staceys amazing help support and wealth of knowledge we have finally seem some light at end of tunnel. We still have a long way to go but for the very first time feeding and meal times dont feel stressful, Stacey understood all the issue were going through. she is absolutely amazing and would highly recommend her. If i could wean all over again i would chose Stacey. Looking forward to continue working with Stacey and raising a happy eater :)

Fantastic experience: Stacey is thorough, knowledgable, trustworthy and diligent, as well being “so fun” that our 3 year old can’t wait to see her again. She really takes the time to explain things and run through options. Highly recommend Stacey for all you SALT needs.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. Great suggestions on how to get my baby interested in food again. Using some tips and seeing a difference just after a day.

Fantastic experience: Stacey worked with us on feeding therapy for our son for nearly 18mths starting Apr21 where she gave us the confidence in his abilities and taught us techniques to overcome food aversion. We found her immensely knowledgeable, creative and empathetic. We are eternally grateful for all that she has done for our family, and would wholeheartedly recommend her services.

Fantastic experience: I have worked with Stacey for both my babies and she has been nothing but supportive, knowledgable and exactly what I’ve needed. Working with her meant I ended up breastfeeding my eldest until she was 21months, despite a low milk supply, and I contacted Stacey before number two even arrived! Couldn’t recommend her more.

Fantastic experience: We were referred to Stacey by our dietitian and were very happy with her work. Stacey helped my daughter with starting to eat solid foods again. I highly recommend your services. Thank you for your help, Stacey!

Fantastic experience: Thank you for all your help, I was really nervous about my little one moving from the breast to nothing, as she would not take a bottle and within a week we had slowly moved the breast away from night time feeds and it was such a relief! Thanks so much Natasha

Fantastic experience: Stacey really helped us put the last puzzle pieces together of our baby's feeding difficulties. Stacey immediately put us at ease, really listened and worked with us to trial strategies to help our little one. Stacey also helped me to step back and look at the whole picture - she help me prioritise what was most important instead of worrying about everything. And I was worrying about everything as a new Mom. Stacey was also able to answer all our questions and concerns and explained things in a way that really made sense. Stacey provides a first class service, responds quickly to any queries over email and provides an empathetic, caring space. I only wish we'd found Stacey and her team sooner than we did. Thanks so much, Stacey!

Fantastic experience: Stacey is an absolutely amazing lady. She is very knowledgeable and skilled and we finally have got to the bottom of my 18 month old's feeding problems. Stacey really took her time to understand my daughter, as she is very complex, and was very thorough with her assessment. I would recommend Stacey to anyone having feeding difficulties, I wish we had heard of feedeatspeak sooner!

Fantastic experience: We were referred to Stacey by our respiratory consultant and I am so pleased we were. Stacey was extremely knowledgeable and professional. She was also brilliant with my daughter. I feel like we have a great plan moving forward and that I have her support should I need to see her again in the future. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Fantastic experience: We met Stacey at Royal Brompton after our Son had been poorly on and off quite badly for more than a year. Stacey was so lovely with him (and us!). She was super thorough in her exploration of his issues and listened to our concerns and experiences as parents with empathy and total understanding. She was able to take the trauma out of various tests by her manner and lovely personality, our Son hardly felt he was in hospital! Stacey’s follow up communication and advice following the treatment plan has been amazing. Thank you Stacey!

Fantastic experience: Stacey has been wonderful to work with. She’s incredibly personable and seems to take genuine interest in her patients. She was very thorough in her investigations as to my daughters condition and I am grateful. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable and helpful when assessing our 11 month old daughter's feeding issues. Thank you Stacey!

Fantastic experience: Stacey was professional, knowledgable and sensitive. She included us in the assessment and we left with a plan we felt confident with.

Fantastic experience: Stacey helped me to successfully introduce a bottle to my bottle refusing 7 month old and helped with weaning onto solid foods after a rough start to our solids journey. I would strongly recommend Stacey's support if you are struggling with feeding challenges.

Fantastic experience: I can’t thank Stacey enough. She gave me so much time and was so understanding. The information she gave me to progress to the next steps of my daughters journey was so detailed and personal, it makes me feel confident on how to continue our weaning journey! I think more than anything she was the first person to not make me feel like I was crazy, she made me feel validated and important too. She is just amazing, can not recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: Stacey has been a great support with our son. We’ve had weaning issues from young and Stacey’s support and guidance has been invaluable.

Fantastic experience: Stacey was excellent at assessing my son and coming up with practical solutions to his issues. We only needed one session and his bottle feeding improved dramatically. We’ve never looked back! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Stacey is absolutely incredible. She has supported me at multiple stages of my breastfeeding journey, including antenatally, and has always given brilliantly bespoke, compassionate and effective advice. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I started following Stacey (@feedeatspeak) whilst I was pregnant as she was a feeding specialist and I knew BF was so important to me. She has a wealth of free advice on her page and using this my BF journey began really well and has continued as such. At 7 months my baby went on a nursing strike and I panicked. Stacey was calm, reassuring and pointed me towards the right information which has meant that we have continued feeding and life is once again peaceful. I cannot recommend Stacey enough, she is amazing. Without her I know my feeding situation would be so very different and my stress levels would be through the roof!

Fantastic experience: I had a couple of scary gags with my 6-month old during baby led weaning and I developed an (unfounded) crippling fear around choking. I spoke with Stacey via zoom and she helped me completely change my frame of mind around solids. She gave practical advice on how to prepare food, but also listened to me and offered warm support about the emotions I was feeling. I highly recommend speaking with her regardless of the issue you might be facing with tour little one!

Fantastic experience: I had one of those issues that no matter how much googling I did, I wasn’t going to feel comfortable until I’d spoken to a specialist. My daughter was due to start nursery and around the same time we planned to start weaning her and I was so unsure and nervous about how to approach it. A consultation with Stacey provided us with answers but more importantly gave us the confidence to start our weaning journey. It provided the peace of mind I was looking for.

Fantastic experience: Stacey was an absolute legend and lifesaver! She supported us in working with our very fussy 15 month old. She helped us implement strategies to tackle refusal to try new foods, throwing food and spitting things out. Since we met with her our lives have changed and meal times are a much calmer and happier. Our little one has been trying a huge variety of foods and is totally expanding her palette. I would recommend Stacey to anyone who is having feeding issues, she has a wealth of knowledge and has been an incredible support too, in the most non judgemental way. Thank you Stacey!

Fantastic experience: Stacey was extremely thorough with her assessment on our 9MO who was experiencing persistent gagging over solid food. She made us feel really comfortable and referred us on to a Doctor who was able to cut our sons tongue tie. We can’t recommend her enough, I just wish we went to her sooner!

Fantastic experience: Stacey provided me with invaluable advice regarding breastfeeding and exclusive pumping. The time put into reading over our situation from the documents completed prior to meeting meant I could gain the most out of the time spent talking to Stacey. She is incredibly easy to talk to and provides honest, impartial advice. I will certainly be recommending Stacey to any mums needing expert feeding advice!

Fantastic experience: I had a zoom consultation to plan for my return to work after maternity leave, Stacey was great, answered all questions and came up with a very helpful plan. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I turned to Stacey when I had multiple breastfeeding challenges with my 5 month old. Every feed was a challenge - they were short, she was unsettled, she would get a lot of wind, she had digestion problems and suffered with reflux. I was ready to give up. I felt like it was my only option to stop breastfeeding despite not being ready to. Stacey listened - this sounds so simple, but I genuinely felt like this was the first time all of my concerns had been heard. She observed - after months of feeling like it was me doing something wrong, she reassured me that we were doing just fine, but helped me understand the areas I needed to address. After one consultation I felt like I finally I had a clear plan. As a result, I now have a very happy 7 month old, who is loving food and now we are both loving breastfeeding again. I can’t recommend Stacey enough!

Fantastic experience: Stacey's calm and structured support gave us confidence and reassurance we needed as parents trying to feed their children in the best way possible. Realistic and sensible meal plans as well as advice about challenging behaviours around meal times have really helped us these last few months. Thank you Stacey

Fantastic experience: Stacey helped me when my 9 month old was having issues eating solids. I am beyond grateful for all her support and expert guidance, with her help we managed to come on leaps and bounds and the issues are now resolved. Stacey is warm, professional and amazing at what she does, I am so glad we found her. Thank you Stacey!

Fantastic experience: An absolute saviour. Our little one was 5 months old when we got in contact with Stacey - he was refusing to be bottle fed and whilst his milk intake volumes would be made up during the night, feeding him was stressful! We wanted to ‘fix’ things before we started weaning as we knew that his milk intake might drop even more! A few days after a video call with Stacey where she gave us a plan, we saw improvements. 2 weeks later and it’s like we have a different baby. We’ve now started weaning and are having lots of fun with no pressure! Highly recommend Stacey at Feed Eat Speak for anyone struggling to feed their little one!

Fantastic experience: An absolute savior! My son was 1 year 2 months with a severe aversion to food. He refused to try anything or eat anything and was solely breastfed. I knew he wasn’t getting the nutrition he needed just from breast milk. I was at my wit’s end. I currently live in a location far from any speech/food therapist and was unable to get any help until I found Feed Eat Speak. Stacey was amazing and agreed to take on our case online. She reviewed videos of nour eating and asked a lot of questions creating an accurate understanding and detailed plan. Within a couple of weeks of the plan, he started to eat! I can’t express my joy enough or thank Stacey enough for the help she gave and the confidence she instilled in me. I strongly recommend Feed Eat Speak!
