Relaxing on the couch after a busy day supporting women, mum’s to be, new mums, infants and their families at @junospecialists

When I get home and walk in the door, it’s always lovely to be greeted with excitement, unconditional love and cuddles. Yes, my kids are getting older - and are nowhere in sight!

Let’s talk about the physical symptoms no one warns you about after childbirth. 😮‍💨

✔️ Hair falling out in clumps
✔️ Vaginal dryness that makes intimacy uncomfortable
✔️ Brain Fog
✔️ Waking drenched in sweat
✔️ Random aches from head to toe
✔️ Constipation that nobody mentions

These are so common after birth - you are not alone and you are not going crazy!!

💬 Comment “YES” if you had one of these and thought it was just you.

Two of my newest patients at Juno Specialists! These two tiny 8-day-old twins snuggled together in their pram, are a perfect reminder of the beautiful (and super busy!) early days of twin life. It’s been such a privilege to support their mum with breastfeeding, postnatal recovery, understanding baby cues, and navigating the unique journey of twin parenting. Gentle guidance, reassurance, and tailored care make all the difference in these early weeks.

Flashback - a “low key” photo I took of my third born child when he was 7 days old. Not quite the tiny little newborn- he was a healthy 4.1kg, but I was still able to cocoon him in a wrap for this photo shoot.

A TIP for those new parents who want to get those cute newborn curled up fetal position photos- it needs to be in the first 7 to 10 days, as they then straighten out!

My first child missed out on the better photos…. I had bought my dSLR but had it in auto mode as didn’t know how to use it! I completed a short photography course 2 weeks before my second child was born - this made such a difference to my photos - I could suddenly take lovely portraits and capture a moving toddler. Then by baby number 3 I was able to experiment more with styles, such as this low key photo. (Dark tones)

Has anyone else had any success with capturing those tiny curled up newborn photos? I’d love to hear about it!

I’ll be back in the office next week, squeezed in between Easter and Anzac Day!

I truly believe these 3 simple golden rules are the foundation of an optimal latch. If they’re not right, breastfeeding can become painful, lead to nipple trauma, or reduce milk transfer. But the good news? They’re easy to learn—and they make all the difference.
You’ve got this.

Is your nipple pain due to thrush?
In my experience, the answer is that this nipple pain is usually NOT thrush.

What causes those horrible sharp shooting pains through the nipple and breast? It is thought to be spasm of the ductal muscles that is triggered by the inflammation and swelling caused by a poor latch.

Thrush is still commonly diagnosed and treated and may settle a little with this treatment due to its anti inflammatory properties, but the pain usually comes back as the cause of the problem (suboptimal latch) has not been addressed.

See your LC or come and see me at Juno Specialists in Richmond, or book an online Telehealth consult through Livala and we can assess your individual situation.

When trying for a baby, how long should you try to conceive before seeing your GP or getting some tests done?

The answer is very individual. We have a general rule of thumb in the medical world that is under 35, then try for 12 months. If over 35 then only try for 6 months, but this doesn’t take into consideration any individual circumstances.

Personally, I like to see my patients before they start trying, to identify if there may be any issues worth considering and to ensure optimal health and preparedness, to advise on timing of intercourse etc, and to make a plan about when to return if not pregnant.

And if you are female and in your late 30’s, go and get advice now!

Yes, I am creating a baby poop atlas!
I often get asked by parents whether their baby’s poop is normal - so I have decided to pull together photos of all types of baby poop and create a photographic poop resource for families.

I have been taking photos of poop during some of my consultations but for this atlas to be truly great, I need your help to get more photos of a wider range of poop, to add to my collection!

If you are interested in contributing to my baby poop atlas, please email any photos to hello.livala@gmail.com

And don’t forget to mention in your email if you would like me to contact you when my poop atlas and resources are available!

Thankyou!

Gazing out to new horizons.

This Cup Day weekend I was able to once again climb up to the Mt Buller summit with family and friends to together watch the sun set beneath the ever expansive horizon and the rolling hills in the valleys below.

So peaceful, serene and beautiful. Such feelings of awe, and also feeling so small and insignificant in this place of natural beauty.

It was a privilege to join my colleagues @drednalekgabe and @drbiancamastromanno this morning at the Pink Elephants charity run 🏃‍♀️ by Melbourne.

Pink Elephants are a wonderful charity that support people who have experienced miscarriage and pregnancy loss. Despite miscarriage and pregnancy loss being common, there is still a lack of awareness and support. People don’t talk about it enough and many people dont realise the emotional impact and grief that can be experienced.

If you or someone you know has experienced miscarriage or pregnancy loss, make sure they are aware of Pink Elephants and the wonderful work they do.

It’s been a great couple of weeks away on our family holiday to Vietnam. A long awaited and much needed break for us all!

We have loved experiencing a complete change of pace for two weeks - a change of life, culture, food, weather, transport, accommodation and of course shopping!

I love the throng that is Asia, but I am ready to head home. 😊

I couldn’t believe my photographic luck during a recent trip to the iconic #melbournezoo during the school holidays. This amazing lion came down from the platform in the distance towards us, and looked me straight in the eyes from behind the glass.

Edited to add: don’t you just love his eyelashes!!??

This little guy was so much fun in my consulting room this morning! I am used to the bubs and toddlers exploring my room and getting into mischief, but this little guy was exploring things differently, e.g. he was literally was upside down in my toy box with legs in the air (I wasn’t quick enough to get that photo!) and he then wanted to sit on my lap for his heart and chest stethoscope examination, so sweet!

These types of baby and infant consults make my day and constantly remind me why I love my job!

It’s triple the pleasure for me when I get to support these two little ones and their amazing mum throughout their postnatal breastfeeding journey.

What an absolutely amazing weekend we have had at the Breastfeeding Medicine Conference Australia and New Zealand, held here in Melbourne. 😊 Above is a pic of our Victorian contingent!

It was wonderful to listen and learn from the inspiring speakers, to reconnect with colleagues and make new friends with so many likeminded colleagues - doctors, GPs and other health professionals that share the same passion for breastfeeding & lactation.

Can’t wait for the next one!

A wonderful week away to recharge and take in the breathtaking beauty that is Wilson’s Promontory, my favourite place.

It’s a slog packing for tent camping for a family, it was pretty ordinary weather too with rain, wind and wombats trying to eat our food….. but so worth it!

I should mention that my photos are all #nofilter. Such gorgeous colours and landscapes.

There are many reasons why many women do not enjoy being pregnant. There is enormous pressure to feel wonderful and happy during their pregnancy, and many people are too scared to admit they are struggling.

It may be they feel sick or uncomfortable, have had a long and stressful fertility journey and can’t relax until bub is born, they might be anxious about the birth & the future, have trauma from a previous experience, feel out of control, or maybe they are struggling with changing body shape and image, the list goes on.

Know that this is common and normal for so many women. You are not alone. Women need to talk more about this, stop pretending it’s all rosy and that they should be glowing. You’ve got this! And remember to connect and reach out to family, friends and health professionals for support if needed.

Breastfeeding consultations: I love being able to educate and support future parents about preparation for breastfeeding, giving practical tips and strategies to empower them to be best equipped for a successful breastfeeding journey. We go through antenatal expressing if that is of interest, and also cover what not to do!

After birth, I encourage my mums and bubs to come and see me as soon as possible after discharge, to troubleshoot any issues and nip any breastfeeding problems in the bud. I am also a huge fan of undoing and breaking the triple feeding nightmare that so many people experience after discharge and in those early days!

My breastfeeding consults are for 60-75 mins, tailored to you and your individual circumstances.

Perinatal Mental Health - this is one of my special areas of interest.

Pregnancy planning, fertility, pregnancy and the postpartum is often a very challenging time. For many, it is the first time in their life that things are out of their control.

If you feel you need some support on your perinatal journey, advice, practical strategies, further psychological support or referral, or are keen to get your supports in place in the lead up to pregnancy, birth and parenting, get in touch!

I got home from work today to find poor blue bear in ICU, in a full body plaster, full mask CPAP and hooked up to a ventilator. 😱 Apparently he jumped off the top of the stairs without his parachute. Not sure if he will pull through, my son thinks he could be in an induced coma for 3 months! 🛏️ 🏥

✨Dont wait. The time will never be just right✨

Whether it be trying for a baby, applying for a new job, deciding to travel abroad, starting a new training course, getting a puppy, learning a new skill or hobby, reconnecting with a friend or loved one…. the list is endless.

We need to practice living more in the present, take opportunities when they arise, know that there is no such thing as perfection or a perfect time for many things, be brave enough to make those hard decisions and then run with them, to wherever they may lead us.

Breastfeeding: What NOT to do and why!

Women are told all sorts of different techniques to help get a lovely deep painfree latch.

It’s time to explain why so many of these strategies aren’t helpful, lead to a shallow latch that causes nipple trauma and make your pain and discomfort worse!

5 DON’Ts:
#1 Dont use a feeding pillow at the start of a feed
#2 Don’t sit upright hunched over
#3 Don’t shape your breast
#4 Don’t hold baby’s head
#5 Don’t settle for a painful latch

If you need some breastfeeding support, see your local Lactation Consultant or come and see me!

I finally got back on my bike today and commuted to work. 🎉🚴

I have been wanting to cycle into work since we opened in Feb, yet I have always made up an excuse not to. Today was the day!

I might add that I now feel 💯 justified flopping on my couch this Friday night, with my glass of red. 🍷

The message here? Just Do
It! We often spend so much time thinking about doing something, weighing up pros and cons, having anxious thoughts about the what if’s, or find other things to procrastinate on. If we can just take that leap, take action and make something happen, then the rewards follow.

I have decided to start a series of Perinatal Tips that are inspired both by my work as a GP who focuses on perinatal care, fertility, women’s and infant health, and also inspired by my own personal and family life.

Some of you may have seen my “Perinatal Pearls” series of short videos here on Insta and also on my website, but honestly, I think a quick tip is all that many people have the time and memory for!

So here is the first of my perinatal tips, that I personally find helpful and relevant to my own life, or that I find can make a positive difference to my patients during their perinatal journey.

It is also an excuse and motivation to get me out again taking photos, a hobby that I love but often don’t make time for.

When I take photos I am practising mindfulness. I stop, look around me, notice things that I normally wouldn’t see, take a breath and appreciate the world and people around me. Being in the present moment, with no struggle.
