Week 4 = officially pregnant! 🎉

This is the week your missed period and that positive test finally line up. Sore breasts, exhaustion, and maybe even a little nausea might be making their debut.

Save this post for pregnancy test tips + to pick your practitioner, and comment below if you just got your BFP 👶🤍

Dankie Sarina en GROOTfm 90.5 vir die voorreg om te gesels oor immuniserings.

Gaan luister gerus na die podcast.

PS! Ek glo met my hele hart dat elke ouer n ingeligte besluit maak oor wat hulle voel die beste is vir hulle gesin.

Die belangrikste is dat jy as ouer wat daardie besluit neem, niemand se goedkeuring nodig het om jou soos 'n "goeie" ouer te laat voel nie.

Ouerskap verg reeds so baie van ons as ouers, dat ons mekaar eerder moet ondersteun en keuses respekteer, as wat ons probeer kompeteer met wat van ons die beste ouers maak.

Want kom ons wees eerlik, ons almal het al gevoel ons kon "beter" wees met een of ander aspek van ouerskap😉

"It takes a village to raise a child but it takes a community to support the parents".

Lekker luister🤩

🦠 RSV & YOUR BABY — what every parent should know (from your friendly neighborhood RN)
RSV is one of the most common causes of respiratory illness in infants, and it's going around right now.

✅ Watch for: runny nose, cough, low fever, fussiness, decreased appetite

🚩 In babies, these can look different than in adults:
Fast or labored breathing
Grunting or flaring nostrils
Extra irritability or unusual sleepiness
Poor feeding / fewer wet diapers

🛡️ Prevent it: wash hands before touching baby, keep sick visitors away, cover coughs, ask your pediatrician about the RSV antibody vaccine (nirsevimab) for babies

VERY IMPORTANT!!!

🚨 A note for EVERYONE: please don't touch, hold, or kiss someone else's baby without asking first.

Babies' immune systems are still developing, and something mild for you (like a cold sore or "just a little sniffle") can turn serious fast for them. If you want to say hi, admire from a distance, ask before you reach out, and always wash/sanitize your hands first.

Parents — it's okay to say no, even to family. Your baby, your rules 💙

🏠 At home for mild cases: saline drops + gentle bulb suctioning, cool-mist humidifier, small frequent feeds, lots of cuddles and rest

When in doubt with a baby, always get it checked — better safe than sorry 💙

Not medical advice — talk to your pediatrician about your baby's specific situation.

Is your baby's spit-up actually something more? 🍼

Save this for later, and always discuss it with your health care provider before starting or stopping any medication. 💛

Feeling so grateful today 🩷

Reading through these words from the families I get to work with reminds me exactly why I love what I do.

Supporting moms and babies through this journey isn't just my job, it's my passion — and seeing that reflected in your kind reviews means everything.

Thank you for trusting me with your little ones.

Here's to many more journeys together! 🤍👶

Every new parent has been there — that moment of panic when something doesn't seem right with your baby. 💛

Diarrhea in babies is more common than you think, but knowing what's normal, what's not, and when to act can make all the difference.
