25.01.2022 Winter is here and families across Brisbane are now legally able to enjoy fire pits in their yards. We love rugging up in front of a fire and toasting marshmallows, but this fun family activity does pose safety risks, especially for enthusiastic little ones. If considering a fire pit this winter we recommend to:... Educate kids about the seriousness of a fire pit Create a 'do not cross line' to keep a safe distance Don't run or play near the fire pit Ensure adult supervision at all times Stop, drop and roll if accidents occur, and of course seek medical attention if necessary : : : : #firepit #firepitsafety #winter #ourpaedicarecommunity #paedicare #paediatricianbrisbane #brisbanepaediatrician #paediatrics #paediatrician #paediatricians #paediatriciannearme #pediatricianbrisbane #brisbanepediatrician #pediatrics #pediatrician #pediatricians #pediatriciannearme See more

20.01.2022 Clubfoot or congenital talipes equinovarus, is a common paediatric orthopaedic condition. A clubfoot diagnosis for your newborn can be overwhelming at first; however in most cases babies who had clubfoot and received treatment are able to lead active lives as they get older. This #WorldClubfootDay read Dr Fifi Djatmikos article on Clubfoot in newborns to learn about diagnosis and appropriate management for optimal outcomes.... Clubfoot can be detected antenatally or at birth by the paediatrician, however if youre concerned about your childs feet after their first year we recommend you speak with your GP in the first instance. : : : : #worldclubfootday2020 #clubfootawareness #ourpaedicarecommunity #paedicare #paediatricianbrisbane #brisbanepaediatrician #paediatrics #paediatrician #paediatricians #paediatriciannearme #pediatricianbrisbane #brisbanepediatrician #pediatrics #pediatrician #pediatricians #pediatriciannearme

20.01.2022 We all know breastfeeding is challenging, especially in the early weeks. Some mums unfortunately experience poor milk supply, breast engorgement, mastitis, nipple issues; and bub can have trouble latching or allergies - just to name a few. For those of you who choose to breastfeed you may like to subscribe to The Australian Breastfeeding Podcast. Each week Registered Midwife and International Board Certified Lactation Consultants Susie Prout will interview new mothers on t...heir breastfeeding journeys. We hope that hearing from experts and other mums on their experiences will help #ourpaedicarecommunity overcome any challenges they may be facing.

17.01.2022 Many first time privately insured mums havent considered choosing their babys paediatrician and dont know they are usually able to do so Just like making the choice of your obstetrician, there are similarly things you may like to consider if choosing a paediatrician to care for your baby.

15.01.2022 One of the key things paediatricians review before baby leaves hospital and at their six week check is their weight. We are able to determine very quickly if baby is receiving enough sustenance by reviewing their weight, their feeding and toileting. It’s normal for babies to lose weight after they’re born usually a maximum of 7-10% of their birth weight in the first week is considered normal. We do however like to see them reach their birth weight again at around two weeks ...after birth. For new parents who are concerned about their baby’s weight take a moment to read the Australian Breastfeeding Association's information on baby weight losses and weight gains. It has some tips on determining if baby is getting enough milk and what you can do if you think they’re not. #ourpaedicarecommunity #paedicare #paediatricianbrisbane

07.01.2022 Christmas is just around the corner and if your household is anything like ours there's a lot of little fingers poking holes in presents, tinsel being worn as scarves and tree decorations found stowed away in all corners of our little ones' rooms - we wouldn't have it any other way!

07.01.2022 As we head toward the end of winter some parents may be planning to start toilet training their little ones. There are bound to be accidents but it doesn't have to be a dreaded task. Check out raisingchildren.net.aus practical guide to toilet training. Some key points to help you plan are: Children might be ready for toilet training if they have dry nappies for up to two hours, know about poos and wees, and can pull pants up and down.... Toilet training equipment includes a potty or small toilet seat and training pants or undies. Try to start toilet training when there are no big changes coming up for your family. Make going to the toilet part of your childs routine. Remind your child to go, and give lots of praise for trying. Toilet training can take days, months or weeks. Be patient and keep encouraging your child. Good luck #ourpaedicarecommunity! #paedicare #paediatrician #paediatricianbrisbane

03.01.2022 Giving birth is undoubtedly one of the most life changing moments a women can experience. All mums have their own individual birthing story; some include wonderful experiences where everything went to plan, and others where plans and expectations were thrown out the window, sometimes leaving mums completely off guard and unable to process the experience. Birth trauma can be physical or psychological, or a combination, and both mother and father/partner or families can be affected. Our friends at Hatch Private Maternity have written an article to highlight birth trauma. Take a moment to have a quick read and share with anyone you know who may need support and resources #ourpaedicarecommunity #paedicare #paediatricianbrisbane

03.01.2022 We love this video highlighting what many of us already know that children with Down syndrome are just the same as all children. They are individuals with ranges of abilities, interests and personalities. However, it can be a lonely place when you first discover your unborn baby or newborn has Down syndrome. New and expectant mums all share a common bond; the need to connect. T21 Mum Australia connects mums to each other through social media to get immediate support from o...ther women who have travelled this path, and connection to state Down syndrome associations for further resources. Please share with other parents who may need support with their child’s Down syndrome diagnosis so they can connect to others to find the help they need. #downsyndromeawarenessmonth #ourpaedicarecommunity #paedicare #paediatricianbrisbane

02.01.2022 Night terrors are not the same as nightmares; they’re very dramatic awakenings that happen during the first few hours of sleep at night. They can be distressing to watch, as your child can be extremely upset, and very hard to console. About 5% of children have night terrors. Rest assured though that night terrors happen in healthy children, and are a part of normal development. They’re not usually associated with serious emotional or psychological problems and your child wil...l most likely grow out of them. Strategies for helping children who experience night terrors: During the night terror, stay calm and don't touch your child unless they are going to hurt themselves. Efforts to settle or help your child often make the episode worse. Keep your house safe at night time. Lock windows and doors, and clear the bedroom floor of objects so they don’t step on things or trip over. Have a regular sleep time with a good bedtime routine to avoid your child becoming too tired. Don't make a big fuss about it the next day. Children can often become upset by your reaction and may become anxious about going to bed.
