Not every sniffle needs a cancellation 🤧

Moderate illness, like a cold, runny nose, or mild fever, is usually not a reason to delay childhood immunisations. If you're unsure, give your vaccinator a call before cancelling. Staying on schedule helps keep children protected from preventable diseases 💙

⭐Today is Safe Sleep Day - for babies ⭐

🐣It's an oppportunity to raise awareness of the need to ensure every pēpi has a safe sleep, every time.

🥰At Wairarapa Hospital our midwifery team is proud to promote and support safe sleep for babies.

🌸Every day they share knowledge and guidance with parents and whānau around the four Foundations for Safe Sleep:

❣️Face up, face clear – always place pēpi on their back, with no pillows, toys or loose blankets.

❣️Flat and firm – use a flat bed and mattress with firm sides such as pēpi-pod, wahakura or bassinet.

❣️Free – provide a smoke, v**e, alcohol and drug-free environment.

❣️Fathers and family – can help support and encourage breastfeeding as a protective factor, as well as help protect babies during every sleep.

Founded by Hāpai Te Hauora, the Foundations for Safe Sleep provide a practical framework that helps health professionals, parents and whānau create safe sleep environments in everyday life.
