Hot water burns in seconds!
Bath time can be fun — but it can also be dangerous if we’re not careful. A baby’s skin is much thinner than an adult’s, and even a few seconds of hot water can cause serious burns.

Before you put your baby in the bath, always test the water with your elbow (not your hand). It should feel warm — not hot.

Keep these safety tips in mind:
🛁 Add cold water first, then hot — this helps prevent the water from getting too hot
🚫 Never leave your baby alone near water, even for a moment
☕ Keep kettles, hot drinks, and pots out of reach of little hands
🍳 Turn pot handles inwards, so they can't be pulled down

✅ Prevention is protection. Simple steps make a big difference in keeping your baby safe.

Story telling is really important for our little ones. Books, rhymes, songs all develop the brain and bonding in a way that cell phones and TV just can't match.

Let’s talk about storytelling!

Did you know that storytelling is one of the best ways to help your child grow and learn? Whether it’s reading a favourite book, singing a fun song, or sharing family tales, storytelling is packed with benefits:

📚 Helps kids learn new words and develop literacy skills
🧠 Sparks creativity and builds curiosity
💬 Boosts communication and emotional understanding
🌍 Opens up a world of cultures, traditions, and ideas

The best part? You can do it anywhere—at bedtime, in the car, or even while waiting in line. Tune in to Side by Side this week for practical tips on making storytelling part of your child’s daily life!

Antenatal checkups can be done at my clinic once you have attended a gvt facility and obtained a file to monitor your pregnancy. Antenatal clients are seen any morning from 08h30 to 09h30.
I am passionate about well mommies and well babies and endeavor to keep you both safe.

🤰🏾Antenatal care is when you get checkups from the clinic throughout your pregnancy. Your health care provider will monitor your future baby’s development and do routine testing to help find and prevent possible problems.

Clinic visits are an important part of making sure that mommy and baby stay healthy during pregnancy. Whether you find out that you are pregnant early on, or a little bit later, it is important that you receive prenatal care. 💙

Pregnancy education week. Private and Public assistance to all Pregnant moms. Please don't delay your check ups.

Today is the first day of Pregnancy Awareness Week: Putting moms and babies first!

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it’s also a time when moms need the right care and support. That’s why National Department of Health (South Africa) uses to highlight the importance of early antenatal care and safe motherhood.

Why is early antenatal care important?
✔️ Checks for medical conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, infections and anaemia
✔️ Free HIV testing and counselling
✔️ Helps you prepare for birth and possible complications
✔️ Teaches self-care, good nutrition and hygiene
✔️ Provides support and education for partners and families

If you think you’re pregnant, don’t wait! Visit your nearest clinic for free antenatal care and ensure the best start for you and your baby. 💕

School holidays are over and school is starting, but there's one thing that will stay the same: playing!

Does your child know how to play safely? Make sure to teach your child important lessons like how to watch out for cars 🚘 and which adults are “safe adults” to speak to if they hurt themselves or need help.

Let's all do our part in building safe, caring communities for our little ones to play in.

Please don't neglect 6mnthy visits from 2years for Vit A, immune booster, and deworming tabs to keep your little one on track.

As kids head back to crèche, playgrounds, and school, it’s more important than ever to keep them protected. It’s best to prevent illnesses, and we can do this by making sure children are immunised and receive vitamin A and deworming medicine.

- Check the immunisation schedule in your RtHB to keep your child up-to-date.
- Missed a vaccination? No worries! Visit your clinic to catch up.
- Good oral hygiene, regular handwashing, and all clinic visits are key to keeping kids healthy!

Let’s protect our children and our communities. A healthy child is a happy child! 🌟
