Infant Matters
Hi, I’m Kerri! I’m a Registered Enrolled Nurse and Early Parenting Practitioner with over 30 years’ experience supporting families from newborns to kindergarten. With a background in early childhood education I’ve worked in childcare, one of Melbourne’s leading Early Parenting Centres, council sleep and settling outreach programs, and privately—so I’ve seen it all!
As a mum of two, I get how exhausting and emotional those early days can be, especially when your little one won’t settle or life feels like a juggling act.
At Infant Matters, I’m here to make it a little easier. I provide practical guidance, simple solutions, and reassurance so you can make confident choices, build independence, and enjoy a calmer, happier family life. Because parenting is hard, but you don’t have to do it alone.
