After childbirth, everyone focuses on the baby, but who is checking on the mother? 🥺

Hormonal changes, sleepless nights and the demands of motherhood can affect your emotional wellbeing.

❤️ 7 WAYS TO CARE FOR YOUR MENTAL HEALTH AFTER BIRTH:

1️⃣ Acknowledge your feelings — It’s okay to feel emotional or overwhelmed.

2️⃣ Get enough rest — Sleep whenever possible and accept help.

3️⃣ Talk to someone — Share your worries with your partner, family or someone you trust.

4️⃣ Eat well and stay hydrated — Your body and mind need proper nourishment.

5️⃣ Stay gently active — Short walks can help improve your mood.

6️⃣ Be kind to yourself — You don’t have to be a perfect mother.

7️⃣ Seek professional support — Speak to your midwife or doctor if sadness, anxiety or feelings of hopelessness persist.

🚨 IMPORTANT: If you experience thoughts of harming yourself or your baby, severe confusion, or hallucinations, seek urgent medical help.

💗 A healthy baby matters, but a healthy mother matters just as much!

Did you know that giving your child the wrong medicine or dose can cause serious harm? 😟

Here are important safety tips every parent should know! 👇

💊 1. NEVER GUESS THE DOSE
Always check the correct dose for your child’s age, weight and the specific medicine.

🥄 2. AVOID KITCHEN SPOONS
Use a proper oral syringe or medicine measuring device.

🚫 3. DON’T GIVE ADULT MEDICINES
Never give adult medications to children unless specifically instructed by a healthcare professional.

🌡️ 4. BE CAREFUL WITH FEVER MEDICINES
Too much paracetamol or ibuprofen can be harmful. Follow the correct dose and timing.

💉 5. DON’T MISUSE ANTIBIOTICS
Not every fever or cough needs antibiotics. Only use them when prescribed.

🔐 6. KEEP MEDICINES LOCKED AWAY
Children may mistake colourful tablets and sweet syrups for sweets.

📅 7. CHECK EXPIRY DATES
Never use expired medicines. Follow storage instructions.

📝 8. RECORD MEDICATION TIMES
This helps prevent accidentally giving the same medicine twice.

🚨 WHAT IF YOUR CHILD SWALLOWS MEDICINE ACCIDENTALLY?

❌ Don’t force vomiting.
❌ Don’t give home remedies.
✅ Seek urgent medical or poison-centre advice immediately, even if your child looks fine.

❤️ REMEMBER: Medicines can save lives when used correctly but cause serious harm when misused.

💬 Parents, does your child willingly take medicine, or is it always a struggle? 😂👇

Is your baby holding onto furniture, pulling themselves up or trying to stand on their little feet? 😍

This is an exciting developmental milestone that shows your baby is developing stronger muscles, balance and coordination!

💕 WHEN DO BABIES START STANDING?

Many babies begin pulling themselves up to stand while holding onto furniture between 9 and 12 months.

Some may start earlier, while others take a little longer.

Standing independently usually comes later, as your baby develops better balance and confidence.

💗 HOW CAN YOU HELP YOUR BABY LEARN TO STAND?

✅ Give your baby plenty of supervised floor play to strengthen their muscles.

✅ Allow your baby to practise pulling up using sturdy, stable furniture.

✅ Place interesting toys on a safe, low surface to encourage your baby to reach and stand.

✅ Let your baby practise moving sideways while holding onto furniture. This is called cruising.

✅ Allow your baby to go barefoot indoors on a safe, non-slip surface to help develop balance.

❌ Do not force your baby to stand before they are ready.

❌ Avoid baby walkers with wheels. They can cause serious injuries and do not help babies learn to walk sooner.

⚠️ IMPORTANT SAFETY TIPS

🚨 Secure heavy furniture and televisions to prevent them from falling onto your baby.

🚨 Keep hot drinks, sharp objects and electrical cables out of reach.

🚨 Lower your baby’s cot mattress as recommended before they can pull themselves up.

🚨 Use safety gates around stairs.

🚨 Never leave your baby unattended on a raised surface.

🏥 WHEN SHOULD YOU SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE?

Speak to a healthcare professional if:

• Your baby seems unusually floppy or stiff.

• Your baby consistently uses one leg or one side of their body more than the other.

• Your baby cannot bear weight through their legs when supported as they get older.

• Your baby loses a skill they previously had.

• Your baby is not pulling up to stand or showing progress towards standing by around 12 months.

💕 REMEMBER: Babies develop at different rates. Some stand early, while others need more time. Encourage your baby through safe play without rushing them.
