Babies feed for many reasons: hunger, comfort, growth. It’s common for newborns to feed 8 to 12 times per 24 hours.

✅ Feeding cues may include stirring, rooting, hands to mouth. Don’t wait for crying

🕰 Some feeds are quick. Some are long. Some are close together

Following your baby’s cues (instead of the clock) helps establish a healthy milk supply and supports responsive feeding.

CMV is a common virus that’s usually harmless but if it’s caught during pregnancy, it may affect your baby’s hearing or development.
Simple hygiene steps can help keep you and your bub safe:

• Wash hands thoroughly for ≥ 15 seconds after handling children, nappies or dummies

• Avoid sharing food, drinks, utensils or kisses on the lips with young children

• Clean toys, bottles and surfaces regularly

Routine CMV testing isn’t standard in Australia, but if you work with young children or feel unwell, talk to your midwife or obstetrician about screening

Prevention is powerful.
These steps help reduce the risk so you can focus on growing your family, safely.

Early labour can feel like a waiting game, but there are simple ways to stay calm and comfortable while you’re still at home.

🌿 Move your body gently

🛁 Use warmth to relax

😴 Rest and recharge

🥨 Eat small snacks to keep your energy up

You don’t need to do it alone. If you’re unsure or have questions, your maternity team is just a phone call away.

A good latch makes all the difference in breastfeeding. Look for:
✔️ Baby’s chin tucked into breast
✔️ Nose clear
✔️ Lips flanged outward
✔️ No pain after initial attachment
✔️ Rhythmic suck-swallow-breathe
Not sure if your baby is well attached? Your midwife or lactation consultant is always there to help.

🎉 Happy Birthday to Us! 🎉

On 30th October, we celebrate 54 years since Pindara first opened its doors under the ownership of Allan and Gwen Ramsay (no relation to Paul Ramsay, founder of Ramsay Health Care - just a great coincidence!😊).

Over the decades, countless patients have trusted our incredible team to care for them. We’re so proud of everyone who has been part of the Pindara story, past and present and grateful for the ongoing trust our community places in us every day.

Here’s to many more years of caring for the community! 💙

They say it takes a village – and it really does. Asking for help doesn’t mean you’re not coping. It means you’re human.

💛 Ask your partner to share the feeding routine. Nappy changes and burping can take time during feeding too.

💛 Say yes when someone offers to cook

💛 Let a friend hold your baby while you shower

💛 Reach out when you need to talk

Let’s normalise leaning on others. You deserve rest, support and connection.

The first few weeks after birth can feel like a blur of feeding, crying, and adjusting. Here’s what’s normal to expect:

🩸 Vaginal bleeding (lochia) that tapers over a few weeks

💧 Breast fullness or leaking as milk comes in

😢 Emotional ups and downs – especially in week one

😖 Afterpains or cramps 🤰

A postpartum belly – recovery takes time

Every body recovers differently. If something doesn’t feel right, check in with your GP or midwife. There’s no such thing as a silly question.

A birth plan is a helpful way to share your preferences for labour, birth, and after-birth care.

Here’s what you might want to include:
👥 Support people
💉 Pain relief options (e.g. gas, TENS, epidural)
🎶 Preferences for lights, sounds or scents
✂️ Your views on interventions (induction, forceps, emergency caesarean)
👶 Skin-to-skin, cord clamping or who cuts the cord
🍼 Feeding preferences – breast, bottle or mixed
🧘‍♀️ Any spiritual, cultural or personal requests

Your plan isn’t a contract – it’s a conversation starter. Your team will work with you to adjust as needed, with your safety and comfort at the centre.

After birth, your baby’s instincts are strong. If placed skin-to-skin, many newborns will naturally seek the breast and begin to feed in the first hour.

This first feed:
🤱 Helps regulate your baby’s temperature, heart rate and breathing
🌿 Encourages bonding and early milk supply
🍼 Supports a calm and confident start to breastfeeding

Your Ramsay midwife will support you with that very first feed. There’s no rush, just connection.
