Ouch!!

Ouch!!

Calamity Alert!!! We’ve had our first Health and Safety event at The Baby Pantry – Robyn had a nasty collision with a sharp object. Poor Robyn!

Like every accident since time began, it happened in a flash. She was telling me a funny story and reaching across to remove the chopping blade from the kitchen whizz, when she let out an almighty Ouch! and raced over to the sink.  I have to say I wasn’t sure where the “Ouch” fitted into the story and vaguely remember thinking, “gee, I haven’t seen her move that fast in a long time” – it took me a good 10 seconds to realise she’d cut herself badly on the chopping blade and was at the sink trying to avoid bleeding out. Poor Robyn!

Robyn with her new plasterRobyn’s accident was a timely reminder for both of us to be careful when working in the kitchen, to be mindful of the number of kitchen utensils that have the potential to hurt, cut or maim (seriously thinking of starting a new TV series, “When Good Appliances Go Bad”). It’s the same thing at home too, a moment’s inattention can result in a nasty gash, burn or fall and could have a serious effect on your health and wellbeing.

Now, Robyn is unable to wash dishes (finger stings like mad when immersed in water…), can’t empty the dishwasher (bandage/plaster may get wet….), is reluctant to clean the toilet area (germs could enter wound…) and can’t chop vegetables for a while (pressure could open nasty cut…). POOR Sharon!

As far as road trips go, our three-day road trip around the South Island to introduce The Baby Pantry to stockists, received a big thumbs up from both of us! The weather was definitely ‘brass monkey’ stuff, but the greetings we received from stores we visited along the way were warm and welcoming.

Sometimes we lose sight of ourselves when our wee bundle of joy comes along.

Suddenly, there’s feeding, nappies to be changed, washing to hang out…. and bring in, there are groceries to pick up, meals to be prepared and in between, try to catch up with friends and get some sleep.

Babies’ wee immune systems take time to build up resistance to bugs, bacteria, chemicals and other nasties in their first year of life. It is important they have access to pure, filtered water right from day one, in both their milk, food and drinking water.
