Today marks World Hepatitis Day 2025 🌍💛 and I'm standing with the Little Liver Champions Coalition (LLCC) to spread this crucial message: "One Life, One Liver – Know Hepatitis, Act Now!" 💉

Here's what every parent needs to know:
✅ Safe testing saves lives - Early detection is key
✅ Treatment should be accessible to ALL children
✅ Prevention through vaccination works - The Hepatitis B birth dose is CRITICAL
✅ We must end the stigma - Knowledge empowers families

Prof Anna Kramvis said it perfectly: "Efficient vaccination against HBV... is the first step to elimination... So many young lives can be saved and suffering averted." 🙏
The Hepatitis B vaccine is truly "low-hanging fruit" - it's safe, effective, and can prevent liver cancer in our children! There's NO room for complacency when it comes to protecting our little ones. 👶💪

Parents: Ask us, your healthcare providers, about your child's hepatitis vaccination status TODAY. Let's protect the next generation together! 🛡️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

🌟 Today, we honour the legacy of Nelson Mandela. His words remind us that authentic leadership isn't about personal gain but about putting the needs of others first.

As we celebrate , let's remember that each of us has the power to make a difference in our communities. Whether it's through 67 minutes of service or a lifetime of compassion, we can all contribute to the freedom and well-being of those around us. 🤝

To my fellow South Africans and global citizens, may we continue to build bridges, break down barriers, and create a world where every child can thrive 🇿🇦

Wishing everyone a meaningful Mandela Day! ✨

Mental Health Awareness Month: Supporting Our Children Through Emotional Storms 🌈

As parents, witnessing our children in emotional distress can feel overwhelming. The good news? You have the power to help them navigate these challenging moments.
De-escalation isn't about "fixing" emotions—it's about teaching our children that their feelings are valid while giving them tools to cope.

When your child is experiencing heightened emotions:
🌸 Stay calm yourself - children mirror our energy
🏠 Create safety - reduce overwhelming stimuli
👂 Listen without judgment - validate their experience
🎨 Offer choices - restore their sense of control
🧘‍♀️ Practice together - model healthy coping strategies

Remember: Teaching emotional regulation is a skill that serves children throughout their lives. Every moment of patient guidance builds their resilience and self-awareness.
Early intervention matters. If you notice persistent changes in your child's mood, behaviour, or daily functioning, don't hesitate to reach out to your paediatrician. Mental health is health.

As your local paediatrician in Mafikeng, I'm here to support both you and your child's well-being. Let's work together to raise emotionally healthy children. 💙

🤧 Winter is here, and with school holidays in full swing, our little ones are spending more time together! Let's teach them these simple but powerful habits to keep everyone healthy:
✅ Always sneeze into a tissue - then bin it!
✅ Cough into your elbow, not your hands
✅ Wear a mask when feeling under the weather
✅ Keep distance from others when sick

These small acts of kindness protect our friends, family, and community. Let's raise thoughtful kids who care about others' health too! 💙

Remember: Good hygiene habits learned now last a lifetime. What other healthy habits are you teaching your little ones this winter?

Why Newborns Shouldn’t Be Given Juice or Sugary Drinks

Your little one may be tiny—but their body is doing BIG work growing every day! Giving juice or sugary drinks might seem harmless, but here’s why it’s a no-go for newborns:

🍼 Their digestive system is still developing and can’t handle anything but breast milk or formula
🦷 Sugary drinks can lead to early tooth decay—even before teeth appear!
🥤 Juice offers empty calories with no real nutritional value for babies
⚖️ It increases the risk of childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes
👶 It can lead to poor feeding habits and a preference for sweet tastes
🚫 It may replace the nutrients they truly need from milk

The best drink for babies under 6 months? Only breast milk or formula. After that, you can slowly introduce small amounts of plain water—but still, no juice until after 1 year (and even then, very limited).

Let’s keep our babies healthy, naturally!
