Your Baby & Toddler

PRACTICAL ADVICE

- MASEGO TSOTETSI

I’m quite sure the Things Your Doctor Wishes You Knew article was meant just for me. Even before I had a baby, going to the doctor was not on my top ten list of favourite things. I have always found it quite daunting and stressful. Add a sick baby to that and my anxiety levels went through the roof. I always take our nanny with us to the doctor but I still have to listen, ask the right questions and soothe my baby at the same time during the appointmen­t. So from now on I will definitely be taking Dr Moore’s advice to record the doctor’s visit on my phone. That way I can play it back to hear what exactly the doctor diagnosed and how she would like the treatment to be carried out at home.
