chart

'outline childbirth tips' is the definition.
'chart' can be an answer for 'outline' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not certain of the 'childbirth tips' bit.

'outline childbirth tips' is the wordplay.
'outline' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (I've seen 'outline of' mean this (outline refers to the letters on the edges)).
'tips' becomes 'art' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'childbirth' with its centre removed is 'ch'.
'ch'+'art'='CHART'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chart that I've seen before include "Nautical map" , "[LOVE ME DO] became the first of many to ..." , "Marine map" , "series of plots?" , "Visual display of information" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
