Articles by Pinky McKay

Pinky McKay, International Board certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), runs a private practice in Melbourne. She’s a best-selling author with four titles published by Penguin; Sleeping Like a baby, 100 Ways to Calm the Crying, Toddler Tactics and Parenting By Heart, endorsed by The Australian Breastfeeding Association, La Leche League International and The Australian Association of Infant Mental Health. Pinky’s gentle parenting techniques offer effective, proven alternatives to “baby training approaches” which may have long term negative effects on infants’ emotional and mental health and undermine parents’ confidence and connection with their little ones. Her real-world experience stems from being the mother of five and grandmother of three.
