That wonderful organisation called PLUNKET
Hullo. To all of those wonderful mothers of the 50s,60s and seventies. I’m one of those too. Do you remember those fantastic Plunket nurses who came once a week when we first came out of hospital with our new babies. I know how we awaited their visits and advise with great gratitude. They weighed our little ones, and advised on breastfeeding, rashes, teething, formulas and you name it all of those problems associated with a new born. How much we looked forward to their visits to put our mind at rest. All recorded in our individual Plunket Books.
I have a program on community radio Planet FM 104.6 once a month where we talk on NZ history, heritage and the people who have helped shape NZ over the past years. I feel Plunket definitely comes under those headings. If you would like to help me get a program together or chat to me about your experience I would be most grateful. Some of you might still have kept your Plunket books!
