12.01.2022 Parenting isn’t easy. When we are having a difficult time, there can be an expectation for us to be super heroes and never show weakness. However, expressing weakness can be one of the most beneficial things we can do for our children. When we chat to our kids about our own struggles, we make it OK to be vulnerable. Being willing to share fosters a safe environment for our kids to communicate their own feelings, without fear of judgment. Assured Parenting offers flexible chi...ld health services.

12.01.2022 Is my child overweight? Is my child obese? If you’ve got a kindy kid like me, your child may have had a visit to the school health nurse at school recentl...y and had their BMI checked or weight for height checked. You may have even received a phone call saying that your child has an elevated BMI which puts them in the overweight and/or obese category. The school health nurse might have even discussed strategies with you regarding this. If this has happened to you, how did you feel about it?

Physical play such as throwing a ball or dancing to some tunes improves both a child’s coordination and physical health.

05.01.2022 Solids start at around 6 months so babies can get enough iron and other essential nutrients for growth and development. It helps develop their teeth and jaws, and builds skills needed later for language development. Introducing solids is important for helping babies learn to eat. It is quite the experience for them as they get exposed to new tastes and textures from a range of foods.

02.01.2022 It is tempting to think that the breast was designed to be an organ of nutrition. However, the breast evolved from mucous -secreting skin glands, which are part... of the immune system. While it is undeniable that the breast provides nutrition, it was first designed to protect the infant from infection. In embryology, skin glands with protective infection-fighting effects are very common. The mammary gland evolved from a mucus-secreting skin gland, which would then help protect the skin of the newborn, even if the "newborn" was an egg. Mucous secretions contain lactoferrin, secretory IgA and other infection-fighting proteins like xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) and lysozyme. Those same protective skin mucus secretions are also found in the mammary cells. XOR, as well as being an important part of the innate immune system is also crucial in milk fat droplet secretion. Lysozyme is an anti-microbial but also evolved into alpha -lactalbumin, a nutritional whey protein special to the lactating breast. So both have two roles- one protective, one nutritional. For both though, their immune system function came first. So, the mammary gland went from an immune system gland to a protective and nutritional gland --one that is unique to mammals. Breast milk is more than just food.
