In the recent article from Dr Sara Watkin, she shares why growing misinformation and politicised health messaging are making evidence-based newborn care harder to protect and why clarity and science matter so much in giving babies the safest possible start.

☀️ Vitamin & nutrient deficiencies in kids

Even in Cayman, children can still experience vitamin D deficiency. High temperatures often keep children indoors, which can reduce their sun exposure. While avoiding the hottest hours of the day, where possible, is advised, getting a safe amount of sunlight each day - in the morning or late afternoon, is essential for strong bones, healthy growth and overall development.

Vitamin & nutrient deficiencies seen in children include:
Vitamin D, A, B12, Iron

Watch for:
Fatigue | Weakness | Slow growth | Irritability | Pale skin | Vision issues | Bone pain

Tips for healthy growth:
🥦 Eat nutrient-rich foods
⚡ Get activity, sun & fresh air (morning/late afternoon)
💊 Supplement if needed
🌟 Track growth & schedule check-ups

Regular well-child check-ups help catch low vitamin or nutrient levels early, keeping kids healthy and growing strong!

Please note we’re closed today, 26th January, in honour of National Heroes Day.

We will reopen tomorrow, Tuesday, 27th January, at 8:30 AM.

We hope you have a great day!

👂Ear infections are one of the most common illnesses in children!

Look out for signs like:
- Tugging or rubbing the ear
- Complaints of ear pain
- Fever
- Fluid draining from the ear

Most ear infections improve on their own within 2 - 3 days, but some can be more serious and need medical attention.

🎄✈️ Holiday travel plans? Travelling for the holidays is exciting but with a current measles outbreak in the USA - a popular destination for Cayman travellers, it’s important to stay informed and take practical precautions.

Ever wondered why some doctors say paediatrician and others say pediatrician?

It’s not just a spelling difference!
In the US, “pediatrician” is a broad term — covering everything from general children’s care to newborn specialists.

In the UK, though, it’s more specific:
👧 Paediatrician = children’s specialist
👶 Neonatologist = newborn & neonatal care expert

Here in Cayman, our doctors come from both systems (and several others too!), so understanding the difference helps you know your doctor’s training and background.

Dr. Sara is both a Paediatrician and Neonatologist, formally accredited in neonatal medicine.
