Lucinda A. Burns is a Pediatrician based in Randwick, NSW. Her practice is at 22-32 King St, Randwick, NSW 2031. She helps families at important points in a child’s life, especially when it comes to newborn care and long-term health support.
Lucinda focuses on caring for children and babies who need extra medical attention. This includes babies affected by Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS). These conditions can be tough for families, and the care often needs to be steady and ongoing, not rushed.
She also looks after kids with hepatitis and hepatitis C. Hepatitis can mean different things depending on the child and the cause, so she aims to explain what’s happening in plain language and then plan the next steps in a practical way. In many cases, that means working out how to monitor progress and keep the child as comfortable as possible.
Alongside the child’s health, Lucinda understands that what happens during pregnancy and early life can affect families well beyond birth. She works with issues like postpartum depression, which can impact bonding, sleep, feeding, and how parents cope in the first months. At times, treating the child and supporting the family needs to go hand in hand.
As a paediatrician, her work draws on medical training and ongoing learning in children’s health. While she keeps things grounded and easy to follow, she also knows when a case needs closer follow-up or extra support from other services. If research or new approaches are relevant to a particular situation, this is usually discussed as part of planning care.
