Infant Clinic

It's not always easy to know whether treatment is the right option for you. To help parents and carers understand the options, we run a free drop-in infant clinic.


Our infant clinic usually takes place on the first and third Tuesday of each month from 1-3pm. There's no need to book.


Infant clinic dates are displayed on our home page in the Events section. We also regularly update our social media pages. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to receive our updates.

Supporting Feeding Beyond Tongue Tie

While tongue tie can cause feeding challenges, it is not the only factor. Musculoskeletal tension or alignment issues in newborns can also impact latch, comfort, and feeding behaviours.


At Kube Medical, our integrated team includes Chiropractors, Osteopaths, and Physiotherapists with specialist experience in supporting babies, children, and pregnant women. This means that if your baby’s feeding difficulties are not solely due to tongue tie, we can offer a broader clinical perspective and help you access the right treatment pathway.
