Little feet and the things they eat
Immunisation
Childhood immunisation is one of the most important things you can do to protect your child’s health. Immunisation helps to protect young children from serious and sometimes deadly diseases, including measles, mumps, and rubella. The earlier a child is vaccinated, the better their chances of avoiding these diseases. Immunisation is also important for protecting the wider community, as it helps to reduce the spread of disease. If everyone is vaccinated, it is less likely that unvaccinated people will come into contact with the disease. It’s also worth noting that immunisation is safe and effective. The risks associated with not being vaccinated are far greater than the risks associated with the vaccine itself. So if you’re considering vaccinating your child, rest assured that you’re making the best decision for their health.
Nutrition & Picky Eaters
As a parent, it can be frustrating to see your child turn up their nose at healthy foods. However, it's important to remember that picky eating is normal, and there are ways to encourage your child to try new things. One approach is to involve your child in meal planning and preparation. By letting them choose which vegetables to include in a stir-fry or which fruits to put in a smoothie, you'll make them feel more invested in the meal. You can also try setting a good example by eating various foods yourself. And don't forget to praise your child when they try something new! With a little patience and creativity, you can help your picky eater develop healthy eating habits.
