Whole nuts are are the size of a child’s airway and the perfect shape to block it completely.
No air in, no air out. A complete obstruction.

This is why I always say hold off on whole nuts until your little one is over 5 years old.

Before then, you can still serve nuts by:
👉 Spreading nut butter on toast or crackers
👉 Sprinkling finely ground nuts over yoghurt or porridge
👉 Blending them through smoothies or sauces

Prevention is important but choking emergencies can still happen and knowing what to do in those first seconds is everything.

In my time as a paramedic, I’ve been on the other side of a lost child job. And as a mum of 3, I’ve felt that 10 second stomach-drop in a shopping centre.

Both taught me the same thing: the instructions most of us grew up with don’t actually work when seconds matter.

So here are 5 skills I’ve drilled into my own three and why “yell Mum” is not on the list.

You never realise how dangerous the world is until you’re responsible for protecting someone in it 🤍

Whole peas are a choking hazard ⚠️
I know, it feels like such a harmless little foo but their shape is exactly the problem.
Small, round and firm means they can sit perfectly in a little one’s airway and block it completely.

How to safely serve:
👉 6 months: puree and mix into food
👉 As their pincer grasp develops: squish each pea flat before serving

It only takes a moment and dramatically reduces the risk of choking.

Choking can happen in a split second, even when you’ve done everything right. Knowing what to do in those moments is everything, let us teach you 🤍

A fall from double their height = get an urgent medical assessment 🚨
The fall might not look like much to you but if it’s double the height of your little one, it’s considered an emergency.

It’s the first thing a paramedic will ask you after a fall: “from what height?” Because the higher the fall, the higher the risk of fractures to the skull and injury to the brain. Serious injuries from falls are rare, but it’s so important to rule out anything serious by getting them checked.

Every parent in Australia deserves a clear way to escalate care when something doesn’t feel right. But right now, your postcode determines whether you have access to that.

NSW just launched the Raise It Hotline, 1800 777 333. One number you can call in any public hospital in NSW when you feel your concerns aren’t being heard.

But the fix only covers one state. Millions of Australian families still don’t have access to a clear, simple, statewide escalation line. This should be a national standard.

Share this with every parent you know. The more Australians who know this gap exists, the harder it becomes to ignore.

While we wait for the system to catch up we’re building something to support you in the meantime. A tool that helps you recognise when something is wrong, provide immediate support in the moment, ask the right questions and advocate for your little one with confidence.

“I don’t buy button batteries” is one of the most common things we hear.
Unfortunately, they’re often already in your home, hiding in everyday items and it’s important you know where they are.

Button batteries are one of the most serious ingestion risks for little ones. When swallowed, they can cause severe internal damage within two hours.

In Australia, 20 little ones per week present to ED suspected of swallowing one. Knowing where they are in your home is the first step to keeping your little one safe.

Light-up shoes, garage remotes, greeting cards, bathroom scales, children’’s books. If it’s smaller than your hand, feels compact, makes a sound, lights up, or moves, there’s a good chance it runs on one.

If you ever suspect your little one has swallowed a button battery, give them honey straight away and head to your nearest ED. If they are under 12 months, offer jam instead.

In an emergency, every second matters and the small things can make a huge difference.

These are the things paramedics want you to know, so when they’re on their way to your little one, they can get there faster and give the best care possible 🚑

Yep, that’s me. The person grandparents absolutely loathe because I told you to stop them kissing the baby. I will happily be the villain in their story if it keeps your little ones safe.

Need a safe space away from outdated advice and guilt trips? You’re in the right place 🤍

So many parents tell us the same thing. “I’ve been meaning to do your course for ages.”

We get it. But here’s the thing, the parents who’ve used their training in an emergency? They didn’t plan for it to happen in that moment either.

My time as a paramedic drives every decision I make around my kids and food because I've seen how fast things can change in a choking emergency.

Walking into homes and seeing parents do their absolute best while waiting for an ambulance is exactly why I share this education and why Tiny Hearts exists. I want you to have these tools before you ever need them.

Here are the rules we live by in our house to prevent choking. We can never eliminate the risk completely but these steps dramatically reduce it 🤍

Our Story

Tiny Hearts Education was born from a community need.

While working as a paramedic, Nikki noticed that parents, just like you, were faced with a devastating problem. They lacked essential paediatric first aid knowledge which led to terrible outcomes; distressed parents, a really sick bub - or even more devastatingly, the loss of a life.

Something had to change, so Nikki teamed up with her sister Rach, and they made it their life's work to equip parents with the skill to save the life of the little person that means the most to them.

We started out small in our Mum's garage with just the two of us, and over five years later have proudly grown to empower and educate over 60,000 Australian parents.
