Today is World Down Syndrome Day! 💙💛

As a paediatrician, I have the privilege of supporting many incredible children and their families. While there may be extra health considerations to manage, it is important to remember that a diagnosis is just one small part of who a child is.

My goal is always to ensure every child has the healthcare and support they need to reach their full potential.

Today, we celebrate the unique perspectives, achievements, and joy that individuals with Down syndrome bring to our local communities and we wear our to raise awareness and advocate for the rights, inclusion, and wellbeing of people with Down syndrome.

Tell us how you are rocking your socks today

This is a million-dollar question for every new parent! Since sleep is basically the "holy grail" of early parenthood. question I get asked more than any other, and for good reason—sleep isn’t just a luxury for parents; it’s vital for your baby’s development. And let's face it, its vital for you as well.
A predictable routine signals to your baby’s brain that it’s time to wind down.
My top 3 non-negotiables: 1️⃣ Same time, every night. 2️⃣ Quiet Zone: Dim lights and quiet voices 30 mins before bed.
3️⃣ A clear sensory cue: Like a warm bath or a specific bedtime book.

What’s the one thing that actually worked for your little one? Let’s swap survival tips in the comments! 👇

Dr. Harris will be going live on Instagram on Thursday 19th March at 6:30 pm for an important conversation with Nyssa Mendoza-O’Connor, Counselling Psychologist, who has spent more than a decade helping individuals and families work through emotional and behavioural challenges.
Together they’ll be discussing:
• Teen mental health – what truly affects teens today and how parents can recognise early warning signs
• Social media and how it can influence mood, confidence, and wellbeing
• The emotional pressure surrounding SEA and how families can support healthy mental habits during exam preparation
This is not a lecture. It’s a real conversation about what parents are seeing, what teens are experiencing, and what we can do together to support them.
If you’d like to join us, make sure you follow Kiddiehealth on Instagram, because that’s where the live discussion will take place.

Today, March 13, is World Sleep Day.
Sleep plays a powerful role in your child’s mood, growth, focus, and immune system. Yet many children and teens struggle with consistent sleep routines.
Try these gentle strategies:

1. Keep bedtime and wake-up times consistent, even on vacation.
2. No sugars and no screen time 2 to 3 hours before bed.
3. Create a quiet, comfortable sleep environment
A well-rested child is more emotionally balanced, physically healthy, and ready to learn and play each day.
Rest is a right, not a luxury. Happy !

It’s one of those classic parenting myths: "They have a fever, they must be teething!"

As a paediatrician, I hear this daily. But here’s the truth: Teething itself rarely causes a true fever. While a tooth popping through might cause a slight rise in body temperature (a "low-grade" warmth), a real fever (100.4°F / 38°C or higher) is usually a sign of something else.

Here is the real culprit.

When babies are teething, they chew on everything. Remote controls, the dog’s tail, dusty floor toys, and those tiny hands that just crawled through the kitchen.

It’s not the gums—it’s the germs. That fever is likely a coincidence caused by a mild virus or bacteria picked up during their "explore-with-my-mouth" phase.

Quick Tips for Teething Relief:

• Keep it clean: Regularly sanitize favorite chew toys.

• Cold is gold: A chilled (not frozen) teething ring or a cold washcloth works wonders.

• Watch for other symptoms: If your child has a cough, congestion, or vomiting along with that fever, it’s definitely not the teeth!

Bottom line: If the thermometer hits 100.4°F, don’t just blame the molars. Keep an eye out for other signs of illness and give me a call if it continues.

Teething is one of those parenting milestones that is equal parts "aww, look at that tiny tooth" and "please, I just need five minutes of sleep."
