Not sure if your newborn is hungry? These subtle cues often appear before the cry.

👶 Early feeding signs include:

• Rooting (turning toward the breast or bottle)
• Sucking or lip smacking
• Hands near the mouth
• Gentle grizzling or stirring

Crying is actually a late sign of hunger. Offering a feed earlier can make for a smoother experience for both you and baby.

Your midwives are here to support you as you learn your baby’s unique cues and rhythms.

When it’s time to push, you've got options. Some positions to try:

🪑 Squatting (with or without support)
🧎 All fours – great for comfort and rotation – you can do this on a mat or on the bed!
🛌 Side-lying for a gentler approach
🧍‍♀️ Standing

Your midwife or obstetrician will guide and support you based on what’s safest and most effective in the moment.

Sometimes, labour needs a little help to begin and that’s where induction may be recommended for your birth.

Some reasons for induction might include:

🩺 A medical condition
📆 Going significantly past your due date
💧 Waters breaking without labour starting

Induction may involve:
Taking steps to start your labour, the method of induction is based on an assessment completed by your obstetrician.
Your care team will explain what’s involved, monitor you and your baby closely, and support you through the process.

🧘 You can still use pain relief, birth positions and comfort measures during induction.
📣 Ask questions and talk through your preferences – your voice matters.

Adding a new baby to your family is exciting – but it can also be a big shift for older siblings.
Here are some simple ways to help them adjust:

👧 Talk about what’s happening in language they can understand
👕 Involve them in safe, simple tasks like choosing baby outfits. Once the baby is here, ask them to help with small baby tasks too!
🕰 Keep their routines steady
🎁 Offer a “gift” from the baby to big sibling
💛 Make time for one-on-one attention when you can

Transitions take time – and reassurance. Your maternity team can help if you need more ideas.

Mastitis can feel daunting– but you’re not alone and it is treatable. Watch for:

• A hot, red, sore area on your breast
• Flu like symptoms (fever, chills, aches)
• A tender lump

Try these at home:
🥣 Keep feeding or expressing
❄️ Use cold packs + gentle massage
💤 Rest, hydrate and take paracetamol or ibuprofen
📞 Engage your midwife or GP early

Most cases improve quickly. With early care, it doesn’t have to stop you from breastfeeding. Our lactation consultants are here if you need extra support.

17/09/2025

In early motherhood, self-care can feel out of reach. But it doesn’t have to be fancy.
It just has to be something for you.

It’s about celebrating the small wins:
☕ Hot drinks
🚿 Showers without an audience
📱 Muting group chats
🛏 Lying down for 10 minutes
🚶‍♀️ A five-minute walk
🙅 Saying no to visitors
💨 A single, deep breath

You’re doing the big job – you still deserve the small joys.

Welcome baby Shiloh Mia Asmar 🤍

Shiloh was born on Friday 15 August 2025 at 9.06am under the care of Obstetrician Dr Drew Moffrey at Pindara Private Hospital.

Her story is a very special one. Both of her parents, Jaz (born 1994) and Will (born 1993), were also born at Pindara, both delivered by Dr Tim O’Dowd (now retired), who is pictured here with the family alongside Dr Moffrey.

Shiloh is the first Pindara grandchild and the third grandbaby on both sides of the family. Big brother Leo was excited to meet his little sister and welcome her into the family.

Congratulations to Jaz, Will, Leo and baby Shiloh 💛

Did you know staying upright and mobile in labour can help your baby move into the right position?
Here are some great options for active labour:

💪 Standing or swaying – you can use the bed or your birth partner to lean on!
🌀 Birth ball movement – move around on it in a way that is comfortable for you
🧎 All fours for back relief – we can provide you with a floor mat, or you can do it on the bed!
🚶 Gentle walking – stop and lean on your birth partner when you need to!
🛌 Side-lying rest – we can provide you with a peanut ball to keep your pelvis open
Choose what feels right in the moment. Your care team will support you every step of the way.

Today we celebrate the dads, partners and father figures who are there from those very first moments, in the birth suite, during late-night feeds, and through every nappy, cuddle and giggle.

Whether you're a first-time dad, a seasoned parent, a same-sex partner, a solo parent support person or a loved one stepping into the role, your presence, love and support mean everything.

Happy Father’s Day from us 💙
