Banele | Communication, Empathy/ Lack thereof, Feeding, Holding/impinging (environment), Play, Presence/absence, Siblings, Soothing

Banele is on his back on the couch while Sihle, his older sister, and Siyabonga, one of his brothers, change his nappy. They comment that the wet nappy was making him cry. The two siblings then play with Banele, who stares at Siyabonga’s colourful t-shirt. The siblings notice and comment on what Banele is seeing. When Banele starts to cry, Sihle tests what he might want. She then feeds him his bottle and asks “Auntie” to prepare another one.
