A little prep goes a long way when flying with a toddler ✈️👶🏽
From snacks and comfort items to planning ear pressure relief during take-off and landing, small preparations can make a big difference. A calmer flight means a happier toddler—and a much smoother journey for you too. 💛

Diaper rash is common and thankfully, with the right care, it’s easy to manage. Here are a few simple tips to help soothe your little one’s skin:

- Change nappies as often as possible, especially when soiled, and always apply a good barrier cream.

- During bath time, give your baby a few minutes of nappy-free time to let the skin breathe.

-Remember, some diaper rashes are actually contact dermatitis, which is a type of eczema.

-If the rash persists or worsens, ask your paediatrician to take a look and guide you on the best diapers or creams to use.

A little extra care goes a long way in keeping your baby comfortable and rash-free. 💛

Preventing mother-to-baby transmission starts with one crucial step — knowing your HIV status. Early testing allows moms to get the right treatment and care, dramatically reducing the risk of passing the virus to their babies during pregnancy, birth, or breastfeeding.

Let’s prioritise awareness, testing, and support. Every mom deserves a healthy pregnancy, and every baby deserves the best start in life.

Protect yourself. Protect your little one. Get tested.
