New baby? We’re here to help.
Dr Briony Andrew, Dr Rhiannon Smith and our team of Specialist GPs are keen to work with your family to help improve any feeding, sleep, or unsettled infant behaviour issues.
Do you have questions about breastfeeding? Not sure what normal infant sleep looks like? Keen to find out ideas about how to keep baby settled?
Dr Briony Andrew and Dr Rhiannon Smith are GPs with Advanced Diplomas in Obstetrics and have been guiding families through pregnancy and the early years for over a decade. They have also undertaken further training and qualified as International Board Certified Lactation Consultants. They are passionate about breastfeeding medicine and providing evidence-based advice when it comes to sleep and improving cry-fuss behaviour in babies. All the GPs working at Adelaide Mums and Babies clinic have NDC Accreditation and are expertly placed to assist with breastfeeding, unsettled infants and infant sleep issues.
We are keen to work with your family to help improve any challenges you are facing with your baby.
In addition, we are passionate about providing high quality care in the fields of women’s health, pregnancy care, sexual health, contraception, fertility, mental health and general practice more broadly. Our clinic at Rose Park is a welcoming space for families to get the medical care they deserve.
We have been busy creating online education courses to make transitioning to parenthood that much easier…
Our first one is an extended version of our much-loved class “Bringing Baby Home”. With 6 months of access, this will become your go-to resource. We recommend completing it before the end of your pregnancy, but we promise you will be coming back to it for the whole of the Fourth Trimester and beyond.
For those who have attended the in-person Bringing Baby Home Class, the online course has additional content as well as the added advantage of being able to go back and review the topics that are now so much more relevant after having your baby – especially our modules on breastfeeding, sleep, looking after yourself and your partner and managing an unsettled baby.
Our Rose Park and Ashford clinics are a welcoming space for families. Our friendly reception staff are more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Bookings can be made online through HotDoc (click the ‘Book at Rose Park’ or ‘Book at Ashford’ button on top right of this screen), emailing or calling the clinic.

New Australasian Diabetes in Pregnancy Society Guidelines Released!
What’s changing?
Raised glucose thresholds for the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT):
- Fasting: from 5.1 → 5.3 mmol/L
- 1-hour: from 10.0 → 10.6 mmol/L
- 2-hour: 8.5 → 9.0 mmol/L
Revised early screening:
Only women with specific risk factors will undergo non-fasting HbA1c testing in the first trimester. If their HbA1c is elevated this will prompt an early OGTT. It is expected that less women will require an early OGTT
Other women continue standard OGTT at 24–28 weeks, but fewer will repeat the test
Why the change?
- To avoid unnecessary diagnoses and interventions—which can bring anxiety, stigma, dietary restrictions, and changes to birth plans.
- To prioritize resources for women and babies at meaningful risk–without compromising safety
What this means for pregnant women
- Universal OGTT screening remains standard.
- Early, targeted screening for high-risk individuals.
- Raised thresholds mean some low-risk women will no longer face a GDM diagnosis.
If you`re pregnant or planning pregnancy, check in with your healthcare provider to see how these new guidelines apply to your care.

Dr Briony represented Adelaide Mums and Babies Clinic at the Still Aware fundraising lunch yesterday. There is still so much to be done to improve still birth rates. 1 in 135 babies are born without breath; 6 every day in Australia. It’s not rare and we need to continue the conversation.
She was also lucky enough to bring home one of the raffle prizes!

Inducing Lactation - With Dr Rhiannon Smith
🌈 Happy Pride Month! 🌈
As the month rounds out, we wanted to share with you the amazing process of inducing lactation, which is a way for same-sex parents, transgender parents, or parents who had their baby through surrogacy, to breastfeed their baby.
Dr Smith is very well versed in this area and has supported many families throughout this process over the years.
To offer this service to LGBTQIA+ parents is such a privilege, and we are so passionate about empowering and supporting families to reach their breastfeeding goals.
