✨ Practice Update from Dr B ✨

On Sunday, shortly after announcing the maternity leave starting, Dr B unexpectedly went into preterm labour and welcomed her baby into the world earlier than anticipated.

At this stage, both Mom and Baby are recovering well. Baby is currently receiving some extra support in the NICU and we are grateful for the excellent care being provided.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding and support as Dr B had to begin her maternity leave sooner than expected. Any outstanding results, referrals or follow-up items that still need attention will be attended to over the coming days but we appreciate your patience while Dr B is in hospital recovering from her CS as well as tending to her new born baby in the NICU. Nina-Joy will be in office still and seeing to all the admin related queries - if there is anything urgent please see your child’s Paed or your family GP.

Thank you for your kindness, patience and well wishes during this special and unexpected time ❤️

‼️‼️ Practice Closed: A Little Update ❤️

After much consideration and strict instructions from the doctor, the time has come for me to officially stop working and begin my maternity leave🤰

As I prepare to welcome our little one, I will be on maternity leave until further notice. Once baby has safely arrived, we will be sure to share the happy news with you all.

In the meantime, please keep an eye on our social media pages for updates regarding my return to practice and when appointments will become available again.

Thank you to each and every one of you for your kindness, understanding, encouragement and support throughout this special season. It has meant so much to me and my family.

Wishing you all good health, happiness and many beautiful moments over the coming months. I look forward to seeing you again when I return 🌸 and I will miss you all.

Nina-Joy will still be responding to WhatsApp messages, calls and emails during working hours only while I am on leave.

Lots of love,
Dr B

🌈💙 Slipper Day at the Practice! 💙🌈

Yesterday, Dr B swapped her usual work shoes for a pair of slippers in support of the incredible work done by the Reach For A Dream Foundation. It was absolutely adorable seeing our little patients’ reactions to the different footwear and the smiles it brought throughout the day! Even my little one joined in the fun 😊

Reach For A Dream does remarkable work in bringing hope, joy and special memories to children facing life-threatening illnesses, helping to make their dreams come true when they need it most.

If you would like to support this wonderful cause, you can donate here:

Thank you to everyone who helped raise awareness and joined in the fun. Dr B is proud to support the amazing work that Reach For A Dream does in changing children’s lives.

Wishing all our families a happy, healthy and wonderful weekend! 💕✨

🌬️💙 World Asthma Day today 💙🌬️

Asthma is a common condition in children where the small airways in the lungs become sensitive and inflamed they may swell, narrow and fill with mucus. This can make it harder to breathe, causing coughing, wheezing, chest tightness or shortness of breath - especially with exercise, colds or allergies.

The good news? With the right treatment, kids with asthma can live full, active, happy lives! 🏃‍♂️✨

💡 A quick reminder for parents:
- Reliever pumps help quickly open the airways when your child is struggling with acute episode of tightness/wheezing
- Controller pumps work over time to reduce inflammation and prevent flare-ups - these need to be used regularly, even when your child seems well.

Keeping asthma well controlled is key to fewer flare-ups, better sleep and more playtime which Dr B is passionate about getting children to live full, happy and active lives ❤️

If you’re ever unsure about your child’s symptoms, medications or asthma plan - please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help every little set of lungs breathe easier 💙

Two big things for today to end off a very busy week at the practice:

1. Today we celebrate World Autism awareness day and I wore my Autism awareness scrubs to help celebrate today ❤️💚💛💙 a reminder to celebrate differences and always spread kindness. Understanding is everything 🤗
2. Flu season is around the corner in-fact we already seeing cases, and I’ve officially had my flu vaccine done by 💉✨

Staying healthy isn’t just about treating illness - it’s about preventing it too. As a mom and a healthcare provider, protecting myself means I can continue to care for my little one and all of you ❤️

A gentle reminder to all my patients and parents: now is the perfect time to get your flu shot and keep your family covered for the season ahead. For ages 6 months upwards 🤗

Let’s keep our little ones (and ourselves!) safe, healthy and thriving 🌿 feel free to book with Sr Megan Benn (her online bookings have opened) or at your local sister/clinic/pharmacy

If you have any questions about the vaccine, I’m always here to help!

05/03/2026

I often see children who are more tired than usual, struggling to concentrate, or looking pale. One common cause is iron deficiency.

Iron is essential for healthy growth, brain development and energy levels.

Signs to look out for:
• ongoing tiredness
• pale skin
• headaches
• poor concentration
• shortness of breath with mild activity

Some children are more at risk, including picky eaters, teenagers, and children who drink large amounts of cow’s milk.

If you are concerned about your child’s energy or development, a simple assessment and blood test can help us identify iron deficiency early and treat it appropriately.

Supporting healthy growth now makes a real difference long term.
