My approach to sleep solutions is unique - you wont find any one-size-fits-all solutions offered here. Many sleep consultant's and sleep approaches ignore a child's emotions and focus on the physical needs of sleep, nutrition and associations- simply by using a behavioral approach to "FIX" the problem. I tailor your sleep service to fit your family and find solutions that parents are comfortable implementing. Working together to find solutions that are holistic and will benefit both the child’s and the parent’s lives. Check our website for full description of services and rates

They say it takes a village, but sometimes the village is just a series of conflicting Google searches at 3:00 AM. 😴

I’ve been the tired mum. I’ve had the twins, plus 1 - that's 3 kids under 5 in a very short period of time. I’ve felt the 'am I doing this right?' guilt. But I’ve also been the Midwife and IBCLC for over 20 years.

At , we don’t do 'one size fits all.' We look at the science of sleep, the art and skill of breastfeeding, and the power of HypnoBirthing® to find your version of calm. Because you and your baby deserve a plan as unique as your bond.

Twins & Sleep, Yes...they are different! 👯‍♂️

Think your twins should be on the exact same schedule? Amanda Bude knows first-hand that "double trouble" often means double the unique needs! 😴

Even identical twins have different sleep temperaments. It’s okay if one needs more support than the other.

The 15-Minute Guide: If Twin A wakes from a nap, gently wake Twin B within 15–30 minutes to keep your day from spiralling. ⏰

White Noise is Queen: Use it to "cocoon" them so one baby’s 2 AM party doesn’t wake the sleeping beauty. 🔈

Stop stressing the "perfect" sync and start managing the rhythm.

Did you know that how your baby enters the world can set the stage for your first feeds? 👶🍼 As a Private Midwife and IBCLC here on the Gold Coast, I see the "invisible thread" connecting birth and breastfeeding every single day.

Here is why your birth experience impacts your journey, and how I help you navigate both.🧵👇

Birth isn't just a physical event; it’s a hormonal symphony! 🎶

Interventions, high-stress environments, or a difficult birth can sometimes delay the "hormonal surge" of oxytocin and prolactin needed for milk to come in.

A long labor, certain positions in the pelvis, or an instrumental birth like (forceps/vacuum) can leave baby feeling a bit tight or sore.

If a baby’s jaw or neck is tight (torticollis), they can’t gape wide enough for a comfortable latch. This is often where we see those tongue-tie-like symptoms or "lipstick ni***es." 💄

🧠 Birth trauma or a feeling of "loss of control" during delivery can make the early days of breastfeeding feel overwhelming. When you're in "survival mode," it’s hard to focus on the nuances of a latch.

🌈 You Don't Have to Do This Alone
Whether you are still pregnant and planning your Private Midwifery care, or you’re currently struggling with a painful latch on the Gold Coast (or virtually worldwide), I’m here to bridge the gap. I'll address these concerns through my dynamic support (IBCLC, Private Midwifery, HypnoBirthing education and more)

Let’s turn your breastfeeding journey into a smooth and calm one! 🕺✨

Here's my IBCLC and tongue-tie expert perspective! Green p**p is usually a symptom of a mechanical issue, not just a "normal" variation. 🍼

👅 The Tongue Tie Connection
The "Lactose Rush": If a baby has a tie, they can’t "drain" the breast deeply. They get mostly foremilk (high sugar/lactose) and miss the hindmilk (high fat). 💨

The Result: Too much sugar and not enough fat which can cause the milk to shoot through the gut, turning p**p bright green and frothy. 🟢🏃‍♂️

Air Gulping (Aerophagia): A poor seal due to a tie means baby swallows air (listen for "clicking" 🔊). This air irritates the digestive tract and speeds up transit time. 💨🤢

Inefficient Feeding: Baby "snacks" frequently but never gets the fatty milk that turns p**p yellow. 🐥

🔍 What to Watch For:
Clicking sounds while sucking. 👂

Explosive or mucus green stools. 🧨

Gassiness and "colic" symptoms. 😫

The bottom line: It’s often a functional issue (the tongue) rather than a dietary one although it can be milk protein intolerance! According to the well researched website more than 2% (1 in 50) of infants in Australia and New Zealand have a cow's milk allergy.

Laundry on the floor? Toddler screaming? Perfect. That’s where the real magic happens. 🕊️✨

As an IBCLC & Endorsed Midwife, when I offer support by coming to your home in Coolangatta to Ormeau QLD I’m not there to judge your house, I’m there to support your journey in the place where you actually live and feed. It's REAL!

Here's the "No-Stress" Breakdown:

I Come to You 🏠 No packing the nappy bag or fighting Gold Coast traffic. I arrive at your door with 20+ years of experience and my clinical kit. Stay in your PJs, don't bother with shoes.

Clinical Eyes-On 🔍 We find your comfy spot, be it the floor or lounge where I assess the latch, check for tongue ties, and tweak your positioning in the environment where you’ll actually be at 3 AM feeding your baby.

Real-Time Fixes 🙌 We troubleshoot your breast pump, ni**le shields, or settling techniques together. No "pamphlets", just hands-on help and the latest evidence-based practice... so you feel confident.

The Plan 🕊️ You get a clear, evidence-based roadmap tailored to your baby before I leave.

Please remember mumma, that you don't need to have it "all together" to get expert help. 💙

Prefer to come into Clinic or have a Virtual appointment? 🤝
This is a 60 min consultation for families who can already identify what their problem area is and require some additional support but don’t require a full initial consultation.

Follow up phone/email support for 2 weeks included.

Let's bust some breastfeeding myths!! 🙃

As an IBCLC and Midwife, I hear MYTHS often, such as "I have small breasts; I won't make enough milk" 🛑 Let’s unpack why it simply is NOT TRUE.

In a world of Instagram-perfect "lactation hauls" and unsolicited advice, it’s easy to feel like your body isn't doing enough. But let’s look at the clinical facts.

Myth 1: Breast size equals milk supply. ❌ The Fear: "My breasts didn't grow much during pregnancy, so I won't have enough storage." ✅ The Fact: Breast size is mostly determined by fatty tissue, not the amount of milk-producing glandular tissue. Whether you are an A-cup or a G-cup, your body is designed to produce exactly what your baby needs.

It’s about efficiency, not size! Supply is driven by demand, this means that the more frequently and effectively baby removes milk, the more your body makes.

What actually works? At Groovy Babies, I focus on the clinical "Big Three":

The Latch: Is the baby draining the breast effectively?

The Frequency: Are we following the baby’s cues (hello, cluster feeding!)?

The Support: Identifying physical barriers like ni**le shield fit or oral ties.

Feeling worried about your supply? Don’t guess, don't wait but instead get an expert eyes-on assessment. Whether it's a Breast Pump/Fl**ge Fit session or a full Lactation Consultation at my Gold Coast clinic, let’s get your journey back on track. 🕊️
