There are some health factors that are known to influence a woman’s ability to fully breastfeed her baby. Some of these factors, such as gestational diabetes, PCOS and a high BMI, can be identified during pregnancy. Here at Western Obstetrics, we regularly discuss women’s feeding plans, and screen for lactation risk factors. By doing this we can identify women that may be at risk of breastfeeding challenges and offer extra education and support to help optimise breastfeeding outcomes. This approach is proving to be very successful.

We are proud to share that this week, Dr Prosser and Sharon Perrella’s paper on the Western Obstetrics lactation risk screening tool has been published in the Journal of Midwifery & Women’s Health. You are in good hands at Western Obstetrics with our staff leading the way in skilled breastfeeding support from pregnancy through to early childhood.

At Western Obstetrics, we understand how exciting it is for you and your loved ones to be preparing for a new arrival. From the moment you find out, it’s only natural to start dreaming about the hopes and wishes you have for your baby.

That’s why we’ve created our Wishes for Baby cards, available in our waiting room. Just like big sister-to-be Malaika did for her soon-to-arrive sibling, you can take a moment to jot down your thoughts, dreams, and hopes.

You’re welcome to share your card with us, or simply pop it in an envelope to take home and keep until the perfect moment to share it with your little one.

🤱 World Breastfeeding Week | FUN FACTS
The health impacts of breastfeeding for babies extend well beyond the first 12 months. Breastfed children are less likely to become overweight or obese and have a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes and other chronic illnesses. Breastfeed as much as you can, for as long as you can, to protect your child’s health.

🤱🏼 International Breastfeeding Week – Staff Spotlight: Meet Sharon Perrella

We’re proud to shine a light on the incredible Sharon Perrella, one of our dedicated lactation consultants at Mums and Bubs Clinic.

Sharon is not only a registered nurse, midwife and IBCLC, but also holds postgraduate qualifications in neonatal intensive care, child and family health nursing, and has completed her PhD with the Human Lactation Research Group at UWA.

With over 15 years of NICU experience, a decade in private lactation practice, and a rich background in research, teaching and volunteer work, Sharon offers families a truly comprehensive and compassionate approach to breastfeeding support.

She’s also an accredited Neurodevelopmental Care (NDC) practitioner, giving her a deeper understanding of the big picture when it comes to infant care.

Outside of the clinic, Sharon is a proud mum of three young adults and loves spending time outdoors, cheering on her kids at sport, going for bush walks, and cooking up a storm.

We’re so lucky to have Sharon on our team. 💛 Appointments with her are available at both Mums & Bubs Clinic and Western Obstetrics.

🤱 World Breastfeeding Week | FUN FACTS
Returning to paid work with a breastfed baby is often easier than expected. For babies that are eating family foods, they often need less breast milk during the day. While at work, mums can usually pump just a few times to maintain their milk supply and continue their breastfeeding journey. Breast milk protects babies from infections and this is particularly important when they start child care.
