Public health officials
say the number of reported cases of meningococcal meningitis disease
this year could again reach record levels. Since the epidemic broke out in 1991, 150 people have died of the disease in the Auckland district, with Maori, Pacific Islanders, and children under 5 years of age being the most at risk, followed by adolescents. It is estimated that one in every 100 Pacific babies is at risk of developing meningococcal disease. Click here for more information on meningitis or email. Amazing Mum
Mum and Dad were watching TV when Mum said, "I'm tired,
and it's getting late. I think I'll go to bed." How were Mothers created? To read one beautiful version, click here.

When you visit your Plunket Nurse Marilyn will have visited you for a short period at home and she will continue to offer advice and information as part of your clinic visits. To enable you to make the most of your clinic visits, please remember the following points: Bring with you two cloth nappies and your WellChild book. When you arrive, weigh your baby using the scales in the waiting room. This saves time during your appointment, as Marilyn has a lot to get through in the 20 minutes she is able to spend with you. If you have any particular questions you wish to ask Marilyn, write them down before you come. Make your next appointment while you are with Marilyn, and please try not to change it unless absolutely necessary. Donations to Plunket are gratefully accepted and enable us to offer more support, information, and events to the Community. Thank you, and enjoy your babies.
