Babies and Children's Health
Parents and caregivers share a common desire for the well-being of their children—ensuring they are happy and healthy. When your child seems unwell, it can be a source of stress for both of you. It's typical for children to encounter bugs, viruses, aches, and irritations while progressing through their growth and development stages. Fortunately, with appropriate care, including vaccinations, most children can overcome these challenges.
Equipping yourself with the right knowledge enables you to recognise signs and symptoms early. Explore the articles below for insights into common conditions affecting infants and children, empowering you to support your child's health journey.
Teething

Teething is a natural process for your baby so you should not be overly concerned about it. Awareness of the symptoms associated with teething will help ease your baby through the process. Extra cuddles and playtime can help distract your little one from teething.
Colic

Colic is a broad term referring to uncontrollable extended bouts of crying in a baby who is otherwise well-fed and healthy. It can be very frustrating and distressing for parents, but it is not a serious condition and will eventually pass.
Nappy Rash

Nappy rash is a common condition that affects many babies. It occurs when the skin in the nappy area becomes irritated and inflamed due to prolonged exposure to wetness and friction. It is a skin condition that is usually treatable at home.
