QUIZ TIME_ Part 2 🕰️
6 things I always do with my child 🤍

👩🏻‍⚕️ As a Pediatrician:

🫁 Infection Prevention
I always limit visits as much as possible around a newborn, especially during the first few weeks. I make sure everyone washes their hands and avoid exposure to to***co smoke. Newborns are fragile, and prevention matters.

This doesn’t mean staying at home. Going outside and spending time in open, well-ventilated spaces can be very beneficial for both baby and parents.

📈 Growth & Development
I never hesitate to take my child for routine check-ups to monitor their growth and development and make sure their vaccinations are up to date.

👂🏻 Listening to a Mum
I have always listened to my instincts as a mum.
When a mother tells me something doesn’t feel right, I listen. Her concerns should always be heard and taken seriously.

👩🏻‍⚕️ As a Pediatric Nurse:

🌡️ When faced with difficult-to-soothe crying
When my child is unusually unsettled, I take a step back and look at their overall behaviour, skin colour and breathing, and I also think about checking their temperature.

These are reassuring signs that help to stay calm and avoid panicking.

🧠 Mental Health
I always take care of my own mental health too. I wouldn’t hesitate to see a perinatal psychologist if I needed support. Looking after myself is also part of looking after my baby.

👩🏻‍⚕️ Second Opinion
When I’m concerned, I go and see a doctor. And if I don’t feel completely reassured or satisfied after the first opinion, I never hesitate to seek a second opinion.

QUIZ TIME 🕰️
6 things I would never do with my child 🤍

👩🏻‍⚕️ As a Pediatrician:

🫁 Cough
I would never give cough medicine unnecessarily, especially under 2. Coughing is a natural protective mechanism — I would look for and treat the underlying cause when needed.

🦷 Teething
I would never routinely use teething gels. Teething is a natural process, and some products can be unnecessary or potentially harmful.

😴 Sleep
I would never compromise on safe sleep. Baby sleeps on their back, on a firm, flat mattress, with no pillow, duvet, comforter or soft objects.

👩🏻‍🍼 As a Pediatric Nurse:

🤱🏻 Breastfeeding
I would never let pressure or fear take away my right to choose what feels right for me and my baby.

😴 Sleep
I would never let guilt or comparison take over. Every child is different, with their own development and sleep rhythm.

👶🏼 Baby positions
I would never put my baby into a position they haven’t achieved themselves. I would support their development without rushing or forcing it.

One day, you’ll look back on these moments with your baby.

You won’t remember the number of days you breastfed.
You’ll remember the love, the bond, and the beautiful memories you shared. 🤍

Happy Breastfeeding Week!

At the Mother & Baby Clinic at , caregiver training is a part of my work that I truly value and enjoy sharing.

Not all caregiver or nanny trainings are the same.

⭐️ What is usually offered:

-Basic care, routines, and hygiene
-Sleep and feeding guidance
-Developmental milestones by age
-General safety rules
-Daily caregiving tasks

⭐️ What we do differently:

We build on these essential foundations and focus on how development is supported in everyday life within the child’s routines, relationships, and family environment, starting from the very first months of life.

Because every child is unique, observation and adaptation guide everything we do.

-How motor development, sensory needs, and early learning are supported through daily care

-How everyday interactions shape motor, sensory, and cognitive development

-How early experiences influence sleep, feeding, alertness, and participation

-How safety needs evolve alongside developmental milestones and growing abilities

-How to observe the child in context and adapt care to their cues, stage, and family dynamics

⭐️We teach caregivers to observe, understand, and adapt to the child in front of them. Because when caregivers feel empowered and supported, they can bring more confidence, joy, and purpose to their work every day.

⭐️ Development doesn’t happen outside of life.
It happens in it.

*We use the term “caregiver” to reflect the responsibility and sensitivity of the person supporting a child’s development within the family environment.

Medical care is not only about treating illness.
It is a continuous process of prevention, monitoring development, and supporting overall health.

👶 PEDIATRIC CARE (Birth → Adolescence)
0 – 2 years
• Frequent consultations
• Growth monitoring
• Psychomotor and neurodevelopmental follow-up
• Nutrition and feeding support
• Vaccinations and prevention

2 years – adolescence
• Annual follow-up
• Growth and overall development
• General well-being
• Preventive care and vaccinations

From 3 years old
• Annual vision screening
• Regular dental check-ups

Adolescence
• Growth monitoring
• Pubertal development and control
• Physical, psychological and social development
• Overall well-being and guidance during transition

End of pediatric follow-up

Care is progressively transitioned from the pediatrician to the general practitioner at the end of adolescence.

👨‍⚕️ GENERAL PRACTITIONER (Adulthood)

Ongoing medical follow-up
• Clinical screening examinations
• Blood tests and biological check-ups when needed
• Adapted to risk factors, medical history, and symptoms
• Preventive care and long-term monitoring

Preventive continuity
• Vaccination updates throughout life
• Referral to specialists when necessary

Adulthood care
• Gynecological care as a systematic part of women’s health follow-up
• Regular ophthalmology and dental check-ups, as in childhood

Early regular check-ups build lifelong habits, shaped by parents through example and consistency.

🎥Second part of common baby skin conditions

After the first month of life, some skin conditions may appear in babies.
They are very common and mostly linked to skin immaturity and daily environmental factors.
In most cases, they are harmless and easy to manage with gentle care.

• Cradle cap
Greasy, yellowish, crusty patches mainly on the scalp and sometimes on the face.
Caused by skin immaturity and remaining maternal hormones.
Completely harmless and purely cosmetic.

Gentle care tips:
Use a cradle cap–specific shampoo or emulsion.
Brush softly after washing.
A traditional tip: apply a small amount of olive oil and leave it on for 2–3 hours before bath time to soften the scales.

• Diaper rash
Very common at this age due to frequent contact with urine and stools.
The diaper area is warm and moist, which can easily irritate a baby’s delicate skin.

Care tips:
Change diapers frequently.
Choose a diaper size that fits well and is not too tight.
Clean the area gently, rinse if needed, and dry thoroughly.
Apply a zinc oxide–based cream if redness appears.

If the rash does not improve, contact your pediatrician.
Sometimes, diaper rash can turn into a yeast rash.
Yeast is a tiny fungus that naturally lives on the skin but can grow too much in warm and moist areas, like under a diaper.
In this case, a specific antifungal cream is needed, and your pediatrician will guide you.

✨ Gentle routines, patience, and reassurance make all the difference.
See you 🔜

My little recipe for a happy 2026.

🎥 First part of our video on common newborn skin conditions

Many skin issues in newborns have similar origins, mostly related to the immaturity of their skin and the maternal hormones still present after birth.
Newborn skin eruptions may appear at birth or within the first few weeks.
They are harmless, temporary, and require no treatment.

• Infant acne
Small red or white spots, mainly on the face.
Very common, completely harmless, and should not be squeezed or touched.

• Milia
Tiny white bumps caused by small deposits of keratin.
Usually on the nose and cheeks, disappearing on their own.
Do not touch them.

• Erythema toxicum neonatorum
Occurs from birth up to the first 3 weeks.
Despite the name, it is not toxic, causes no discomfort, and needs no treatment.
Can appear as large red patches that sometimes cover the face and body, appearing, fading, and reappearing — all completely normal.

✨ Stay tuned for Part 2! More reassuring and useful info for parents is coming soon.
See you soon!
