Let's see each other soon!

Stop right there!

In most cases your local Facebook Mums group with 20k people is not the place for these kinds of posts (you’ll probably get 100+, mostly misguided or sometimes blatantly dangerous answers).

It was prior to starting BabyEd, that whilst doing a casual babysit the carer told me to “remember to add a cup of orange juice” to her sons bath, “to prevent measles” (please don’t do this, they will just come out of the bath sticky), that I realised there is sooo much info out there that it is hard to know what is the right and wrong thing to do when it comes to their little ones health.

So where can you trust to turn to for reliable advice in these times?

- If looking online, stick to reputable sources (ie. not the Daily Mail)… look for “.gov.au”
- Even better… download the RCH kids health info app!! It has so many easy to understand fact sheets for parents and it is all best practice and evidence based.
- Call Health Direct/13HEALTH for reliable advice
- Head to the Health Direct symptom checker
- Your area may have a bulk billed home GP service you can take advantage of
- If you can’t get an appointment in person there are many bulk billed telehealth GP services in Australia where you can video chat with a doctor at any time
- Sign up to our online course to learn knowledge and skills in advance when it comes to health and first aid…you’ll also get access to a whole host of resources you can have on hand.

Until the end of July you can access the online course for only $39.50 (RRP $79) with the code “hellobaby”.. simply head to the following link:
