We all lose our cool sometimes. Parenting is hard and when we’re tired, stressed or overwhelmed it can spill out in ways we wish it hadn’t. The important part is what happens next.
Acknowledge it. Apologise, without excuses. Reconnect.
A simple, sincere “I’m sorry” shows our children that grown ups make mistakes too, and that taking responsibility matters. Then comes the hug, the reassurance, the reminder that they are loved and safe.
As Becky Kennedy shares in her TED Talk, it’s not the yelling that defines us as parents, it’s what we do after.
Repair keeps the connection strong, even when we’re not perfect.

Fevers can be really worrying, especially in little ones.
A fever is temperature of 38°C or above and it’s often a sign the body is fighting off an infection. Most fevers settle on their own, but there are times when seeking medical advice is important.
You should seek urgent medical help if:
• Your baby is under 3 months and has a temperature of 38°C or higher
• Your baby is 3 to 6 months and has a temperature of 39°C or higher
• They seem unusually sleepy, floppy or hard to wake
• They have difficulty breathing
• They have a rash that does not fade when you press a glass against it
• They have a seizure
• They show signs of dehydration, such as fewer wet nappies or no tears when crying
For older babies and children, trust your instincts. If they are not themselves, not feeding, or you’re worried, it’s always okay to get them checked.
Fevers are common and most are mild, but knowing when to seek help can make all the difference. Knowledge brings confidence, and that confidence helps you stay calm when it matters most.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of coughs and colds. RSV infectinos usually get better by themselves, but can sometimes be serious for babies and older adults.

RSV infections are very common. Almost all children get them at least once before they’re 2 years old.

They're not usually serious, but some babies and adults have a higher risk of getting seriously ill, particularly:

babies under 6 months old
young children who were born prematurely
adults over 75 years
babies, children and adults with a weakened immune system, or long-term lung or heart conditions
people who smoke to***co and babies exposed to to***co smoke

In babies, RSV is a common cause of a type of chest infection called bronchiolitis.

This can cause breathing problems and may need to be treated in hospital.
RSV can also cause a serious lung infection (pneumonia) in babies and older adults.


Swipe for symptoms and when to get advice from medical professionals.

Wishing a very happy Lunar New Year to everyone celebrating!
Lunar New Year, often called Chinese New Year, is celebrated by many communities around the world including in China, Vietnam, Korea and across East and Southeast Asia. It marks the start of the lunar calendar and each year is represented by one of the 12 zodiac animals.
This year welcomes the Year of the Horse. Children born in the Year of the Horse are said to be energetic, confident and full of spirit. They’re often described as independent little adventurers with big hearts and natural charm, ready to gallop towards new experiences.
Here’s to a year filled with courage, kindness and lots of happy, healthy little ones.
