Protect your baby from measles with 2 doses of measles vaccine.

1️⃣ In countries where measles is common, it is vital to give the first dose around 9 months of age; in other countries, at 12-15 months of age.
2️⃣ Give the second dose later in childhood to ensure full protection.

Remember: Infants can be vaccinated around 6 months of age if there is an outbreak or before travel to endemic countries.

Baby rash got you wondering? 👶🏼🌿

Rashes are very common in babies—but not every red bump is the same.

🩺 Baby acne: Small red bumps or whiteheads, usually appearing in the first few weeks of life. It typically settles on its own. Avoid squeezing or using harsh/oily products.

🌿 Heat rash: Tiny red bumps or blisters, often on the neck, chest, back or skin folds. Keep baby cool, dry and comfortably dressed.

🔎 Something else? Eczema, cradle cap, contact irritation and infections can look similar and may need different treatment.

🚩 Contact your paediatrician if:
• Baby has a fever
• There are blisters, pus, crusting or rapidly spreading redness
• Baby is feeding poorly or seems unusually sleepy/unwell
• The rash is worsening or not improving

For babies under 3 months, a temperature of 38°C or higher requires urgent medical assessment.

📍 Pretoria & Gauteng parents—save this for those “What is this rash?” moments and share it with another new parent!

Educational information only. This does not replace an individual medical assessment.
