Canterbury Plunket www.plunket.org.nz Our vision: In the first 1000 days we make the difference of a lifetime. Please do not act in a way that may be harmful to others.

Whānau Āwhina Plunket is a charity, and New Zealand’s largest provider of services to support the health and development of children under-five. We see around 85% of all Kiwi kids, and are committed making sure every single one has the opportunity to be as healthy and well as they can be. We are also dedicated to building the confidence and knowledge of families across New Zealand, and making sure

none are left isolated, disconnected or unable to cope. Our Plunket Nurses offer parenting information and support, as well as developmental assessments of your child through home and clinic visits, mobile clinics and PlunketLine 0800 933 922 (a free 24/7 telephone advice service for parents). We also organise parent groups, parenting education, toy libraries, drop in centres, play groups, early childhood education and education in schools. Find out more at: https://www.plunket.org.nz/

Infant capsule covers are useful for protecting pēpi from the elements while you’re walking to and from the car, but they need to come off in the car. These covers limit your ability to observe baby while driving, and restrict the air flow around them which can make pēpi overheat – especially in warmer weather, or when we have heaters on to keep warm.

Thank you to the lovely Whānau who came along this morning to the Kaiapoi Community Garden. It is such a beautiful space and Cassandra had so many tips and tricks on how to get started in your own garden. The little ones loved pottering in the sandpit and mud kitchen.

Keep an eye out on our page for hopefully another session in Spring 🌼🌼

We want to keep our tamariki warm in winter – but big puffy jackets, snow suits or other bulky layers are unsafe to use in child restraints. The harness needs to be as close as possible to your child’s body to be effective in a crash and layers compress, making the harness loose.

Take jackets or other outer layers off before buckling your tamariki in. You can put a blanket over the top of the harness to keep pēpi warm, or for older tamariki you can pop their jacket on backwards over the top while they’re in the car.
