Jann P. Foster is a paediatrician based in Liverpool, NSW 2170. The focus of the practice is caring for babies and children, with extra attention on early life health issues where good, calm follow-up can really help.
Many of the cases seen are about the gut and throat in young infants. This includes gastro-oesophageal reflux in infants and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD). At times, feeding problems and discomfort can also link in with tongue tie, which can affect how a baby latches and feeds.
Breathing and sleep are also a big part of the work. Jann looks after concerns like infantile apnea and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) risk questions, along with infant respiratory distress. When babies are born early, there can be extra complications, such as problems related to premature infant care. Some infants also need help with issues like respiratory acidosis, and even more urgent situations such as infantile pneumothorax.
In hospital-style paediatrics, the practice commonly covers newborn and early infant conditions too. This can include jaundice, necrotising enterocolitis, and patent ductus arteriosus. Delirium is considered as well when a child’s behaviour or alertness changes in a way that needs careful checking.
Jann also cares for children with longer-term developmental needs. For example, cerebral palsy is part of the work, including spastic diplegia infantile type. Appointments in these areas tend to be about practical support, clear plans, and helping families understand what to watch for as a child grows.
For families, it’s often reassuring to have a doctor who can join the dots across growth, feeding, breathing, and development. Jann’s paediatric care is grounded in everyday decisions—what matters now, what can wait, and what steps to take next.
