Natha Lauder is a ten-month-old baby who lives with her mother, Liza Roacher. Natha started attending the service a few months ago and Liza is always the first to arrive, usually at 6am to drop Natha off, and the last to leave, around 6pm at closing time to pick her up. When Natha was brought in one early morning I was working, she had matted hair and smelled strongly like cigarette smoke. She was wearing a stained onesie, and Liza explained that she had just woken her up to come to the service, so she didn’t get any time to give her any breakfast and dress her appropriately. Natha is often seen wearing stained food covered onesies. I thought that this must happen from when she eats breakfast. When I checked her bag, I found two more stained and food covered onesies, a jumper that looks too small for Natha, two clean nappies, two bottles which looked unwashed and a tin of formula that’s nearly empty which had a note attached to it asking that I use all the formula of what’s left and then use cow’s milk for the rest of her bottles. Natha seems a little small considering her age, and I’ve also noticed that she always has a green and runny nose with a persistent cough. This has been brought to my attention as she has not been on any medications at the service. When I hold Natha, she feels a little cold to touch. To warm Natha up, I give her some extra layers such as spare singlets and socks we have from the service.
