About

“Fostering a nurturing environment for families to thrive”

Adelaide Mums and Babies Clinic is a specialist GP clinic, focusing on providing exceptional care to women and their children, while also offering the broad spectrum of General Practice. Dr Briony Andrew and Dr Rhiannon Smith are both GP Obstetricians and Lactation Consultants (IBCLC) and have special skills in Breastfeeding Medicine. We offer additional support during pregnancy and the first year of life. We are supported by experienced General Practitioners with an interest in Breastfeeding Medicine.

Long appointments allow for thorough exploration of all contributing factors for a wide range of mother-baby pair issues.

We follow the principles of Neuroprotective Developmental Care, pioneered by Dr. Pamela Douglas (GP, IBCLC, researcher and author). We have all achieved accreditation in the Neuroprotective Developmental Care Program and were the first to do so in Adelaide.

Common issues that we are skilled in managing include: breastfeeding problems, unsettled infant behaviour, infant sleep, maternal mental health problems, antenatal care and antenatal education. With our unique skill set we are able to fully examine for underlying medical issues while also assessing “the big picture” and developing individualised management plans.

But we are also GPs! We are happy to take care of anyone who is looking for a compassionate and caring GP.

We offer Telephone and Telehealth appointments for those that cannot make it into the clinic. Medicare Rebates apply to those that have been seen face to face in the last 12 months. All babies under 12 months of age have access to Medicare Rebates even without a prior relationship with the clinic.
