  1. Allergy researchers call for better food labelling

    by , 30-05-2012 at 21:41 (The Official Bub Hub Blog!)

    My gorgeous little neice recently had a mild reaction to peanuts.


    She is currently in the process of having further testing done but in the meantime we've been told to be vigilant when giving her food.

    Well that is easier said than done.

    Ever cautious while she was in my care recently I began reading labels before giving her the same food as my little boy. Rice crackers? Nope, they may contain traces of peanuts ... Cereal snacks? Nope, same reason.

  2. The 7 best electric breast pumps

    by , 29-05-2012 at 15:09 (The Official Bub Hub Blog!)

    I had an electric breast pump ... for one day.

    In a sleep-deprived haze I failed to read the first instruction - DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER - and I did just that after the first use. So it was "goodbye hundreds of dollars" and "hello manual breast pump" (thankfully it could be used as both!).

    So I am clearly no expert on electric breast pumps. Although I am better informed than my younger brother, who (about 20 years ago) began giggling uncontrollably

    How do you know if your stroller is really safe?

    If you're like me you probably saw that it met with the Australian Standard and you felt comforted by that fact.

    And that would be fine except that according to new data released by people's watchdog CHOICE, only three out of 18 strollers they tested met safety standards outlined in a 2009 voluntary code.

  4. Breastfeeding halves risk of SIDS

    by , 21-05-2012 at 09:17 (The Official Bub Hub Blog!)

    SIDS and Kids has revised their safe sleeping guidelines to include a new recommendation - 'breastfeed baby if you can'.

    The new recommendation is based on research that shows breastfeeding more than halves the risk of sudden and unexpected infant death.

    Review* author and safe sleeping expert Adjunct Professor Jeanine Young says studies conducted over the past 15 years have consistently found that breastfeeding reduces the risk of SIDS.

  5. How much do you know about food allergy?

    by , 18-05-2012 at 20:30 (The Official Bub Hub Blog!)

    How much do you know about food allergies?

    Did you know that the number of children with food allergies continues to rise and that we've seen a boom in the past 20 years?

    Did you also know that is Food Allergy Awareness Week this week?

    We've been chatting with the people at the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute about some new research they have conducted on food allergies.
