About Me
I am a registered nurse with the South African Nursing Council (SANC). I draw upon my nursing training and clinical experience to provide helpful, evidence-informed information for mothers, babies, and families. However, my role on this website is that of an educator and content creator, not your personal healthcare provider.
No Nurse-Patient Relationship
Your use of this website does not create a nurse-patient relationship between you and me. The content on this site does not replace an in-person clinical assessment, physical examination, or professional medical consultation. In accordance with the Nursing Act, 2005 (Act No. 33 of 2005) and the SANC Code of Ethics, I clearly distinguish between my role as a registered nurse in clinical practice and my role as a content creator.
For Babies and Children
Content related to infant and child health is for educational purposes only. Every child is unique. What works for one child may not be appropriate for another. Always consult your paediatrician, clinic sister, family doctor, or other qualified healthcare provider regarding any medical concerns about your child, including changes in behaviour, feeding, sleep, growth, or physical symptoms.
For Mothers
Content related to pregnancy, antenatal care, postpartum recovery, breastfeeding, and maternal health is for educational purposes only. Your healthcare needs are individual and may change during pregnancy and the postnatal period. Always seek guidance from your doctor, midwife, obstetrician, lactation consultant, or local clinic for any questions about your or your baby’s health.
South African Context
Where possible, I aim to provide information relevant to the South African healthcare context, including public and private healthcare considerations. However, healthcare resources, protocols, and availability may vary by province, facility, and individual circumstance. Always confirm information with your own healthcare provider.
