1 - 7 August is World Breastfeeding week.
We know that every mother and baby's journey is different. Come talk to us. We support breastfeeding for as long as possible, but we also understand that for some this is a difficult journey. Do not feel alone in your motherhood journey.

5 facts for mothers:

Your body is ready to breastfeed from the moment your baby is born.
Lowers stress and anxiety.
Breastfeeding sets up a baby's immune system for life.
Breastfeeding fights infections.
The more you breastfeed in the early days, the faster your body makes milk.

Your baby tells you they are hungry by:
*Bobbing their head; turning and opening their mouth.
*Wriggling/clenching fists.
* Putting their hands near their face or chewing fingers.
*Licking their lips, opening and closing their mouth, making suckling noises.

should not be painful. If it hurts, a trained counsellor can help you breastfeed comfortably.

Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, or any mental health concerns, our dedicated team is here to support you. We provide a safe space where you can express your fears and work towards overcoming them.

Don't let fear hold you back from living your best life. Seeking help is not a sign of weakness but a testament to your strength. Let’s honor Nelson Mandela’s legacy by prioritizing our mental well-being and supporting one another in our journeys.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out to us at The Junction Medical Practice. Together, we can conquer fear and promote mental wellness.

🌟 IV Therapy: Choose Wisely! 🌟

Intravenous nutrient therapy (IV Therapy) is booming in South Africa, offering potential wellness benefits. But not all IV drips are created equal! ⚠️

While some treatments are backed by credible science, they also come with risks. 🩺 Dr. Cobus van Niekerk () warns against the rise of IV Bars operating without proper medical oversight.

🔍 What you need to know:

- Life-threatening complications can arise.
- Unmonitored treatments may lead to illegal practices.
- Always choose clinics with qualified medical professionals! Visit The Junction Medical Practice if you feel run down or are considering IV treatments. Our Doctors will assess and guide you, and recommend the correct Medical Formulated Drips.

“You have one body. One life. Don’t trust it to someone who doesn’t have the qualifications—or the right—to treat you.” 💬

Stay safe and informed! 💖
