A lovely visit to a festive Expresso TV studio to A lovely visit to a festive Expresso TV studio to chat about colic: Remember that colic : - is excessive fussiness/ crying in an otherwise well, thriving baby - usually starts at 2-3 weeks of age and ends around 4 months - is harmless to the baby - represents an immature gut AND an immature brain! - does not respond well to medications! - the baby needs a calm environment, lots of holding and white noise - parents need to accept help so that they get enough rest! - this is tough! But this too shall pass. #colic #expressotv #expressoshow #dr_claudia_gray

Finally-a week of school holidays- and hopefully a Finally-a week of school holidays- and hopefully a “circuit break” for the waves of infections which have risen and fallen throughout our very long winter! You see- infections are like waves in many ways: - some are large and last long, some are short and over quickly - sometimes many small waves following in quick succession can join together to form a large, complicated wave or a complicated infection… that’s why some kids get sicker 1-2 weeks into a virus or it feels as if the “coughing has never ended” as they merge from one wave into another. - sometimes we sit in a stormy sea in which the waves are coming from every direction- and really cannot be avoided- such as the typical crèche syndrome in little kids bombarded by snotty noses. Over time, we develop our “life jackets” of immunity to ward off the waves- but little children still have to develop that- so a series of viral illnesses is really the norm. #waves_of_infection #circuitbreaks #dr_claudia_gray

#allergiceyedisease - don’t blink over it! Thi #allergiceyedisease - don’t blink over it! This little boy from my clinic at Red Cross Hospital is smiling- despite red watery eyes- because he can see again! He has an allergic eye disease called VKC (#vernalkeratoconjunctivitis ), which, if left unchecked, can lead to loss of sight. Just 2 months ago he was almost blind- but with specialist care he can see again- but not everyone is as lucky. Itchy, red eyes need to be taken seriously. #itchyeyes #itchyredeyes #dr_claudia_gray Photo published with full permission from the family and child
