Nosebleeds are common in children, especially during warmer months when the air is dry or when little ones are more active. Most nosebleeds are mild and settle quickly with simple home care. If they become frequent or difficult to stop, it may be worth discussing possible triggers such as allergies, dry air, or minor irritation. Guidance can help parents feel more confident when these moments happen.

This day reminds us of the importance of creating environments where every child feels supported, valued, and included. Children with disabilities may need tailored approaches to learning, play, and health care — and understanding their individual needs helps families and communities offer better support. Encouragement, patience, and accessibility go a long way in helping children thrive in their own unique way.

✨ Happy 5th Birthday to my baby boy! ✨
Today you’re five — a whole hand! — and my heart still can’t believe how quickly these years have flown. Watching you grow has been one of my greatest gifts, and motherhood continues to teach me lessons I never expected.

Things I’ve learnt from Deen in these five beautiful years managing my little covid baby
🌟 That tiny humans have the biggest wisdom.
🌟 Keep my world small, it’s full of hearts that keep me safe, happy, and loved
🌟 Joy is hiding in the smallest, silliest moments.
🌟 Every milestone is a big step and sometimes I need to be pushed to get out my comfort zone
🌟If you feel hot and bothered, just takes your pants off 🤭

Thank you, my son, for making me softer, stronger, and more present. For reminding us all to slow down, to play, to laugh loudly… and to appreciate the magic in every day.

Here’s to your big 5 — may your year ahead be full of wonder, Lego masterpieces, superhero capes and all the happiness your little heart can hold. 💙✨

Keeping children safe in the summer sun begins with simple, consistent habits. Covering their skin, applying sunscreen correctly, and encouraging breaks in the shade all help reduce the risk of sunburn and dehydration.

A broad-brimmed hat and UV-protective sunglasses offer extra protection, especially during the hottest parts of the day. Small steps like these make a big difference in keeping little ones comfortable and safe outdoors.

It was a truly special morning spent sharing motherhood journeys, offering advice for expectant mothers and supporting one another. 🌿

A space to talk honestly about parenthood, ask questions, and connect with others walking the same journey.

Just a little reminder that tomorrow morning we gather again at Kenilworth Centre— a safe space to breathe, share, learn, and feel held in the beautiful chaos of parenthood.

Gender-based violence breaks families, silences voices, and steals childhoods.

As a paediatrician, I stand firmly with survivors and advocate for a future where every child grows up in a home filled with safety, dignity and respect.

Let’s teach our little ones what healthy love looks like.

Understanding Heart Problems in Babies ❤️

Some babies are born with heart conditions that affect how their hearts function. These can include:

🔹 Heart murmurs – extra sounds made by blood flow in the heart.
🔹 Holes in the heart – small openings between chambers that may or may not need treatment.
🔹 Valve issues – where the heart’s valves do not close properly.

While this may sound overwhelming, many heart conditions in babies are detected early and can be managed with careful monitoring, medication, or surgery if needed.

Advances in paediatric care mean that most children with heart problems go on to live healthy, active lives.

If you notice your baby struggling with feeding, breathing quickly, sweating a lot, or not gaining weight as expected, it is important to seek medical advice.

Every child’s heart is unique, and with the right care, they can thrive. 💙
