25.01.2022 COVID-19 outbreak has gotten us confined within the four walls of our home. No fixed work-routine, increasing number of patients, and feeling of isolation has been keeping everyone on their toes, even at night. Naturally, sleep is the last thought in mind filled with disrupting thoughts about family and friends. Difficulty in sleeping is pretty common even in normal times; however, the added stress and emotional turmoil are only converting the difficulties into disorders. Bei...ng exposed to a lot of screen time does not help either. Focusing on proper stress management, building healthy daytime habits, and keeping the electronic devices away before going to bed can help you sleep better at night. Also, if you are suffering from sleep disorder or insomnia, it is recommended to consult a professional. For assistance with healthy sleep habits, explore our comprehensive range of sleep diagnostics services. We also provide mental health support for stress and anxiety management. Our lines are open at (03) 97029300 throughout Victoria or book online at https://betterhealthfamilyclinic.com.au/cont/online-booking

23.01.2022 Childbirth is considered premature if the baby is born three weeks prior to the due date, usually before the beginning of the 37th week of pregnancy. 1 in every 10 babies in Australia suffers from premature birth. Nevertheless, postnatal care for preterm babies is not much different from that of term babies. Postnatal care of your preterm baby includes -Immediate skin-to-skin contact with the mother -Additional heat source -Bundle up the baby for an extra layer of warmth... -Earliest breastfeeding/cup feeding -Delay bathing for at least 48 hours -Frequently measure temperature, heart rate, and respiratory count Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is also a great method to keep the baby’s heart rate and breathing stable, ensure better weight gain, and increase breastmilk supply.

19.01.2022 Patient-centered care is indispensable as every human being, irrespective of their illness, deserves to be treated with respect, dignity, and most importantly, compassion. Some might call it placebo, but patients respond more positively to the care when the GP regards their opinion and makes them feel included in every step of the process. Here at Better Health Family Clinic, we address every patient as an individual and not just the disease they are carrying. Thus, patient-centered care is considered a right and not a luxury. A safe environment is ensured for everyone to feel comfortable to share their symptoms, ask questions, and take part in choosing the regimen.
