What does it mean when a child is stunted?

When a child does not get enough nutritious food over a long time, or keeps getting sick, they may not grow as they should. They can be too short for their age. This is called stunting, and it can also affect how their brain develops and how they learn.

Being short does not always mean a child is stunted. That is why having their growth measured and checked at the clinic is important.

Good nutrition and care from pregnancy to a child’s second birthday help give them a healthy start. Families need support during this time to help prevent stunting.

At your next clinic visit, ask: “Is my child growing well?” Your nurse or community health worker can explain their measurements and help with any concerns.

Share this with a parent or caregiver who needs to know.

Dad, your role begins long before your child can call your name.

During pregnancy, ask how she is feeling and what would help. When the baby arrives, share the everyday work of caring for your little one.

Sometimes support looks like preparing a meal while she rests. Sometimes it means taking responsibility without waiting to be asked.

The first 1,000 days are part of your parenting journey too.

Dad, start today. Ask what she needs, and follow through.

You reach the till and realise something has to go back.

For a parent trying to feed their family, that decision can carry so much worry.

During National Nutrition Week, we are reminded that healthier food environments must work for families’ everyday realities. Nutritious food needs to be affordable and available where people live.

From pregnancy to a child’s second birthday, good nutrition helps lay the foundation for healthy growth and development. When nutritious food is out of reach, giving a child that healthy start becomes harder, no matter how much a parent wants to.

Parents should be able to give their children a healthy start without facing impossible choices.

This National Nutrition Week, let’s call for nutritious food that families can afford and access, so every child has a fair chance to grow great.

Before the first cuddle, your baby’s story has already begun.

The first 1,000 days stretch from pregnancy to a child’s second birthday. This is an important time for their growth and development, and the support a mother receives matters too.

To the woman preparing to meet her baby: you deserve care throughout this journey.

Share this with someone expecting a little one, and ask how you can support her this week.

As today marks the start of National Nutrition Week(9–15 October), we are excited about the outcomes we hope to achieve from this year's theme, “Creating Healthy Food Environments for Better Nutrition”.

A food environment includes the food sold in our neighbourhoods, its price and how it is promoted. It shapes what ends up on our plates and what we can feed our children. Having healthier food environments helps give children a fair start. Pregnant women and families with young children need access to nutritious food, alongside support that helps them care for their little ones.

This Nutrition Week, let’s work together to bring nutritious food within every family’s reach.

Sometimes the support a mother needs begins with someone showing up at her door and asking how she’s doing.

Grow Great Champions meet families where they are. They make space for questions about pregnancy and a child’s early years, including the ones a caregiver may not have had a chance to ask at the clinic.

No parent should feel they have to figure it all out alone. Learn more about our work at www.growgreat.co.za.

When life gets busy, we often reach for whatever is quickest to eat. Sometimes we forget that fruit can be convenient too.

A banana can go in your bag for later. An orange can be a snack between meals. During pregnancy, choices like these can help you nourish yourself while your baby grows.

Follow Grow Great for more practical tips for the first 1 000 days.

Pregnancy can bring so many questions. Sometimes it helps just to sit with other women and hear, “I’ve wondered about that too.”

At Flourish, expectant mothers have space to learn together and talk about what they’re experiencing. The connections made around a table like this can help a mother feel supported well beyond the session.

“Behind every Flourish Host … there is a woman who also needs care.”

Somi Swana shared this after spending time with our Gauteng Hosts. It also captures why our Western Cape team brought Hosts from Cape Town and Worcester together for a day dedicated to them.

Our Flourish Coach Shandre Williams described the gathering as a way to show gratitude for all our Hosts do. They had time to relax and enjoy foot massages. Then they popped balloons to symbolically let go of what they had been holding onto. Shandre shared that the Hosts left feeling “refreshed and renewed.”

A special shoutout to our Western Cape Hosts: Anna Matthews, Brenda Nieuwenhuys, Sophie Hendriks, Zaakira Peck, Nondileko Yozi and Venecia Oliphant. Thank you for the care you give to mothers.

Thank you also to coaches Celeste Williams, Phakama Ndamase and Shandre Williams for making space to care for the women behind that work.
