A BABY'S skin is delicate. Cetaphil Baby’s team of experts share the dos and don’ts for taking care of your baby’s skin. The dos: Washing your baby correctly: Cleanliness around newborns is necessary because their immune systems are still developing. Bathing your newborn 2 to 3 times a week is enough. Also, before you tend to your baby, wash your hands and tell visitors to do the same. Moisturising after bathing: A baby’s skin is usually dry, especially on the face when he or she is getting accustomed to the environment outside the womb. Use a mild baby soap to reduce the risk of excessive dryness and avoid irritation to the eyes. After bathing, apply lotion all over the baby’s body. Treating rashes with care: Rashes are quite…

BOLLYWOOD couple Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani have been trending for their recent wedding in Suryagarh, which is included in India’s Top 15 wedding destinations. The couple chose Jaisalmer’s Suryagarh Palace for its location and its serene surroundings. There is no population in the area for about 10km. Built on the widespread area of about 26 hectares, this hotel dazzles like gold at night. It looks like a royal palace. The interior is done with carvings on the stones. Carvings are also seen on the walls giving the entire hotel a Rajputana look. There are 84 rooms, 92 bedrooms, two large gardens, an artificial lake, gym, bar, indoor pool, five large villas, two large restaurants, indoor games, horse riding, a mini zoo and an organic garden in the palace premises.…

ACCORDING to a new study from Sweden’s Karolinska Institutet, men who have bad co-parenting relationships in the months following delivery are more likely to be depressed when their children are infants. The findings are published in the Journal of Affective Disorders. “We have a lot to gain as a society if we support co-parenting relationships more during the early stages of parenthood,” said Michael Wells, associate professor at the Department of Women’s and Children’s Health, Karolinska Institutet. “One way to do that is to screen fathers for their co-parenting status during infancy and toddlerhood, and to offer interventions aimed at improving collaboration and communication around the child if needed.” Around 9% to 10% of dads experience post-partum depression. Children who grow up with depressed dads are also at a higher…

IT WAS, as I recall, one of those lackadaisical Sunday afternoons in Durban in mid-2017. Nothing scintillating or even remotely titillating in the weekend papers. Siesta beckoned and I was ready to answer the call of St Raphael, the patron saint of sweet dreams, when a sudden shriek from my wife, Kay, pierced the silence. “Dennis, do you realise what day it is? I remember you once telling me you started work as a journalist way back on July 2, 1967. That’s exactly 50 years ago – to the very day!” That was enough to startle me out of my slumber. Fifty years! Now that’s a story worth telling – the story of a young black journalist who, after learning the ropes on several small black community newspapers, knocked on…

HISTORICALLY, the terms “head boy” and “head girl” originated in British boarding schools in the 19th century. They were positions that were often chosen from the senior class and given privileges and duties, such as serving on school governing bodies and serving as role models for other pupils. Other schools and institutions of higher education, including those in other countries such as South Africa, later copied this custom and it is practised today. Similarly, concepts such as “brotherhood” and “sisterhood” remain among the longest-standing traditions and practices used in schools and post-school institutions for leadership positions as well as selected groups for men and women. The numerous and diverse gender groupings present in the institutions, however, are not served by this heritage. In schools and higher education institutions, there is…

LIFE has not been the same for Verusha Ramdin since the death of her husband, leading seaman Amrithlall Tothara Ramdin. However, six years after his death, she got some comfort when he was given a posthumous bravery medal during Armed Forces Day. Armed Forces Day was hosted by the SANDF on Tuesday in Richards Bay. Ramdin, 41, from the Bluff, died while trying to rescue three staff members of the Department of Public Works from a gas-filled sewage pit at the Durban Naval Base on February 17, 2017. His colleagues – Able Seaman Francois William Mundell, 26, from the SAS Makhanda in the Western Cape; and Seaman Henro Ter Borg, 21, from the Maritime Reaction Squadron in Cape Town – also died during the rescue efforts.

THE Sibaya Community Trust has donated R4.1 million towards the Bayview Flats Residents Association’s (BFRA) project to build a multi-purpose community centre . The sod-turning ceremony for the Bayview Ubuntu Community Centre was held on Monday. Brandon Pillay, the chairperson of the BFRA and an ANC MP, said: “Where do I begin? This is truly history in the making and a first for our community. “This building used to belong to the former House of Delegates. It was a welfare house. The city then inherited the site and building but never used it. “The late Lenny Naidoo also used this building as a meeting place when the ANC was banned during apartheid. “Growing up in Bayview, no matter what apartheid threw at us, we had a sense of survival…

Rohan Janse van Rensburg says the Sharks have “to take responsibility” and ensure they perform week in and week out whether or not they have their Springboks. The stocky centre said the Sharks have to mentally pitch up for Ulster at Hollywoodbets Kings Park on Saturday (2pm) and deliver the goods. “The most important thing is that we get the mental side of the game right against Ulster,” the former Springbok said. “This is a massive game for us after having found some rhythm last week against the Lions — we must build momentum now as a team and grow our confidence because all of the guys currently in the squad are good enough to play at this level (United Rugby Championship).” Van Rensburg is alluding to the fact that…

Victoria Azarenka said on Monday that she hoped the WTA Finals would find a “deserving” home, after a couple of years of instability following the women’s tennis organisation suspending all Chinese tournaments. The former world number one and two-time Australian Open champion also urged an announcement on this year’s venue soon, to allow for better marketing of the tour’s flagship event. The season-ending championships feature the top eight singles players and top eight doubles teams. They were initially meant to be staged in China’s southern city of Shenzhen every year for 10 years, starting with the 2019 edition. The deal with Shenzhen was record-breaking and the inaugural 2019 showpiece awarded singles champion Ashleigh Barty $4.42 million – the highest prize money awarded to a player at any tennis event across…

WHILE you might need to modify your exercise routine slightly during pregnancy, physical activity is safe and recommended. One option to consider is prenatal yoga. Yoga is suitable even for women who don’t tend to do a lot of exercise. Yoga is an ancient practice from India involving movement, meditation and breathing techniques to promote mental and physical well-being. There’s a growing body of research on the benefits of yoga during pregnancy. Prenatal yoga is safe for mother and baby when practised under the guidance from a certified instructor, and is suitable for low- and high-risk pregnancies. Six reasons you should include prenatal yoga in your pregnancy routine: 1. Mental health Are you anxious about your pregnancy? Does thinking of childbirth give rise to fear? If so, you’re not alone.…

RIHANNA’S half-time show during the Super Bowl was breathtaking for many reasons. She was finally back! She was flying above crowds on a tiny clear platform. She was showcasing what appeared to be a … belly. My first reaction was delight that she was not afraid to show off her postpartum baby bump. That thought was drowned out by a buzzing group chat: “So do we all think Rihanna is pregnant? She was amazing!” a friend texted. Another responded: “My daughters say I should not comment because she should tell us, not have us speculate.” Some agreed with my friend’s daughters. After years of people commenting on my possibly pregnant, newly pregnant, miscarriage-suffering, largely pregnant, postpartum body, I can tell you this: You don’t ask about a pregnancy until a…

MORE than 46 000 people have been killed by the two earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria and thousands of people have been displaced. As part of South Africa’s aid effort, the SAPS’s K-9 search-and-rescue team was deployed to Türkiye. The team consisted of five K-9 dogs, their handlers as well as a team leader. They departed for Türkiye on February 9 and returned to South Africa on Saturday. The team led numerous search operations for survivors and helped to recover the bodies of the deceased. Warrant Officer Keegan Naidoo is a K-9 search-and-rescue handler attached to the Johannesburg K-9 unit in Gauteng. Naidoo, 41, who is originally from Phoenix in Durban, relocated to Johannesburg in 2002 after joining the Mondeor SAPS flying squad. The father of two joined the K-9…

United have a chance to end their six-year trophy drought in Sunday’s League Cup final against Newcastle, three days after they go head to head with Barcelona in a Europa League play-off. Dutch manager Ten Hag has transformed United’s fortunes in his first few months at Old Trafford after a rocky start, even lifting them to the fringes of the Premier League title race. Off the pitch, the race to become the new owners of the 20-time English champions is hotting up. Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani and British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe’s INEOS company showed their hands before Friday’s “soft deadline”. The Times reported at the weekend that American hedge fund giant Elliott had entered the battle, ruling itself out of a full takeover but offering to…

Former German tennis great Boris Becker thanked world number one Novak Djokovic for his backing while he was in a British prison and called the Serb “probably the greatest player of all time”. Presenting a new documentary about his on-court triumphs and off-court travails at the Berlin film festival, the 56-year-old said his former pupil had been a steadfast ally. “Novak Djokovic became a family member. You know we had a professional relationship for many years and we parted ways in 2016,” Becker said. “But we always stayed close and especially my time inside (prison) – he supported me, he supported my family.” From 2014 to 2016, Becker coached Djokovic to six of his 22 Grand Slams. The Serbian said he was heartbroken when his former coach was sentenced to…

India qualified for the last four when they beat Ireland by five runs on a rain-adjusted target in their last group match at St George’s Park in Gqeberha. India joined England as qualifiers from Group Two, with both sides having won three matches. England played Pakistan in Cape Town on Tuesday. Victory would guarantee them top spot but they are likely group winners even if they lose because of a superior net run rate. Australia have already won Group Two, so are almost certain to play India as runners-up in Group One in the semi-finals. Kaur said India had gained confidence from having played Australia in a series in India last season, despite only winning one game – and that was on a super over. She pointed out that all…

According to new research published in BMJ Global Health, pregnant women infected with the virus that causes Covid-19 have a seven-time increased chance of dying. The study also reveals that Covid-19 during pregnancy increases the risk that the new born baby may need to be admitted to intensive care. “This study provides the most comprehensive evidence to date suggesting that Covid-19 is a threat during pregnancy,” said Emily R Smith, an assistant professor of global health at the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health and lead author of the study. “Our findings underscore the importance of Covid-19 vaccination for all women of childbearing age.” Despite growing knowledge about the risks of Covid-19 during pregnancy, many women of childbearing age in the US and other countries remain unvaccinated.…

It might be difficult to decide what to bring on a trip with a baby and what to leave behind. Most of the time, you probably need exactly what you may have left at home. However, it is impossible to bring everything on your list with you. The bag checklist is being scrutinised for all these reasons, including weight restrictions, the sheer difficulties of lugging around so much luggage with a baby, and the feeling that you have packed your entire house for a two-day trip. A must-carry: Carrier/stroller: Wear your baby – an infant carrier comes as a blessing in disguise, making you hands-free and keeping your little one securely strapped on to you as well. For children who have outgrown the carrier, carrying a stroller may seem bulky…

ANESH Rampurtab, Subramoney “Spinks” Isipingo and Rajen Pillay successfully summited Mount Kilimanjaro earlier this month. “This was just before sunrise at 6.15am on Uhuru Peak, which is 5 895m above sea level. It is Africa’s highest peak on Mount Kilimanjaro and is also known as the ‘The Roof of Africa’. Temperatures were -20°C,” said Rampurtab. While at the top, they held up the banner of Vishwashakthi, a non-profit organisation that is based in oThongathi and promotes Hinduism among the youth. “Pundit Kamal Maharaj, the organisation’s head, requested we take the banner and display it at the summit. We couldn’t refuse an organisation that improves youth and culture for no monetary gain.” They embarked on the hike to raise funds for Buffelsdale Secondary School, the Krishna Goshala and the Verulam…

Vinicius Junior should be cherished by football fans across the world rather than targeted by racist abuse, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti says. The Brazilian has been abused regularly in Spain this season, with La Liga taking six cases of “racist insults or chants” to public prosecutors. A group of Atletico Madrid ultras hung an effigy of the 22-year-old from a bridge near Real’s training ground, a matter being investigated by police, while numerous instances of racism aimed at Vinicius have been filmed. Vinicius scored the winner as Madrid beat Liverpool 1-0 in last season’s Champions League final. And Ancelotti believed he would rise to the occasion once more when the sides face off again in Tuesday’s Champions League last 16, first leg at Anfield. “You can only change people…

LIV Golf announced its 12 rosters of four-players teams for the upstart league’s second season on Monday night, making official the reported signings of Thomas Pieters, Danny Lee, Dean Burmester and Brendan Steele. After the Saudi-funded rival to the PGA Tour debuted in 2022 with its “Invitational Series” season, LIV locked in 48 golfers for its expanded second campaign, which will begin this weekend at Mayakoba Resort’s El Camaleon Golf Course in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Pieters, a Belgian who is No 35 in the Official World Golf Ranking as of this week, joined Bubba Watson’s team, RangeGoats. Pieters, who played primarily on the DP World Tour, recently took to Twitter for a parting shot at the PGA Tour after not qualifying for last week’s Genesis Invitational. “Sad to miss…

Hayden, who was the Pakistan cricket team’s mentor for the 2022 Men’s T20 World Cup, is in India as a commentator for official broadcaster Star Sports and has no formal involvement with the touring side. However, on Tuesday he told the Sydney Morning Herald he was 100% ready to help the Australian batters who have produced scores of 177, 91 and 262 and 113 in four innings in India so far, with Usman Khawaja being the only Australian batter to score a half-century so far. Hayden told The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald “100%, at any time of the day or night, it is given that myself – and I’m sure I speak for anyone else that I represent that would have that kind of influence – would 100%…

Liverpool owner John Henry has denied the English giants are up for sale despite seeking fresh investment in the club. Henry’s Fenway Sports Group (FSG) said in November that it would “consider new shareholders if it was in the best interests of Liverpool as a club”. That sparked speculation that the 19-time English champions were on the market alongside rivals Manchester United. “I know there has been a lot of conversation and quotes about LFC (Liverpool Football Club), but I keep to the facts,” Henry told the Boston Sports Journal in an interview published online on Monday. “We merely formalised an ongoing process. Will we be in England forever? No. Are we selling LFC? No. Are we talking with investors about LFC? Yes. “Will something happen there? I believe so,…
