Becoming a mother can bring one thought back, unexpectedly:

“I just want my mum.”

For women without their mothers, this moment can carry a particular kind of grief, one that isn’t always spoken, but is deeply felt.

Because it’s not just about the baby you’re holding. It’s about the mother you no longer have, and what that absence brings back with it.

I’ve written about this, and I hope it helps those of you going through it, or those who have carried it for a long time.

Protect your baby from measles with 2 doses of measles vaccine.

1️⃣ In countries where measles is common, it is vital to give the first dose around 9 months of age; in other countries, at 12-15 months of age.
2️⃣ Give the second dose later in childhood to ensure full protection.

Remember: Infants can be vaccinated around 6 months of age if there is an outbreak or before travel to endemic countries.
