Lewis’ story is a powerful reminder that your voice matters.

Advocacy is about recognising subtle changes, understanding what to look for and having the confidence to trust your instincts when something doesn’t feel right.

Our medical system under immense pressure and the reality that parents often see the earliest signs of deterioration long before they show up clinically. And when those signs are missed, the consequences can be devastating.

I have seen over and over that it is parents who save lives. They notice the subtle changes and they sense when something is not right. But intuition alone is not always enough. Parents need education, clarity and confidence to speak up and act early.

Thank you to Lewis’ parents for sharing his story and the strength they showed when advocating for their sweet boy 🤍

“My son often wore mittens during sleeps so he didn’t scratch himself. One day he was really unsettled and I couldn’t work out why. Later, I noticed a strand of my hair and some lint tightly wrapped around his finger. My poor little boy was in pain. Once I gently removed it, he was a completely different baby. I’d heard of hair tourniquets before but never thought it would happen to us.”

Hair tourniquets are more common than many parents realise. They happen when a strand of hair or loose thread wraps tightly around a baby’s finger or toe. Less commonly, they can also occur on the p***s of baby boys. When this happens, it can cut off circulation, causing increasing pain and swelling.

Unsettled behaviour, ongoing crying, swelling, redness or a finger or toe that looks darker than usual are all subtle signs worth checking.

If the hair tourniquet doesn’t appear too deep and there isn’t damage to the skin, you can try this:
👉 Apply a small amount of hair removal cream to the area
👉 Leave it on for up to 10 minutes
👉 Rinse thoroughly with warm wate
👉 Carefully check that the hair has released and gently remove it

If you don’t have hair removal cream, you can try using a pair of fine tipped scissors to carefully snip the hair but only if you can clearly see it and can do so safely.

If you aren’t able to safely remove the hair tourniquet, the area is very swollen or the skin is broken, seek medical assistance urgently.

Taking a little trip back to 2016 💜

Back when we loved a hashtag, our branding was very pink and the snapchat dog filter was a personality trait (see pic 5) 55.

That was the year we moved out of the garage and into our very first warehouse. A proper pinch-me moment. 
We released first aids kits that came in red and grey and you guys loved them!

It was also a year of deep contrast for me personally. I lost a baby and then fell pregnant with my daughter.
A moment I truly wasn’t sure would ever come. Looking back now, I can see how much emotion was packed into such a short window of time and how fleeting those seasons really are.

So if you’ve been here since 2016, cheering us on through the pink branding, the big changes, the questionable font choices and the hard moments, thank you. Truly. Your support has meant more than you could ever know.

And if you found us later, you’re just as much part of this story 🤍

This mum has been trained by Tiny Hearts and this moment shows exactly why that matters.

This child is not gagging. He is choking. There is a piece of food partially blocking his airway. The critical thing to notice is that he has an effective cough. You can see that cough actively working to move the food out of his airway, which is why mum kept her hands off and allowed him the space to work through it.

This is an important distinction. When a child has an effective cough, intervening too early can actually make things worse. If back blows were given at this point, that partially blocked airway could have become fully obstructed, turning this into a life threatening emergency.

Knowing when to act and when not to act is just as important as knowing how to act.

To this mama, what a privilege it is to have trained and empowered you to confidently support your little one in this moment. This is what preparation looks like, and this is how parents save lives.

If you’re wanting empowerment and education you’ve found the right place 🫶🏼

Another sweet baby saved. Another little face added to our wall. Just like him, these babies are tucked into bed each night because their parents were ready to step in and save them ❤️

Special thank you to this incredible mama for saving Roman’s life and sharing his story with us x

You’ve probably heard us say, parents save lives, not paramedics. Recently, that message really upset a paramedic in our community, so I want to take a moment to clearly explain what this actually means.

Social media forces complex topics into short, attention grabbing language. That doesn’t always allow for nuance, but the message itself is important, especially for parents who need to hear it.

I am not saying paramedics do not save lives. I would never dismiss or diminish the work of our incredible frontline healthcare professionals. This message is not aimed at paramedics at all. It is meant for parents.

I say this with my whole heart because I lived it. As a paramedic, I saw time and time again parents relying on us to arrive and save their child. I’ve been to jobs where nothing had been done before we arrived, and by that point there was a 0% chance we could save that child. I’ve also been to jobs where parents acted immediately and kept going until we arrived, giving us the ability to step in, use our skills, and save lives.

When parents act fast, they don’t replace paramedics. They help us. Their actions create the conditions that allow emergency services to do what we are trained to do.

As parents, we are the ones right beside our children. Even when an ambulance is racing towards you with lights and sirens, no one can be quicker than you in those first moments.

So yes, paramedics do save lives. But when it comes to our mission and the message we are trying to spread, it is this: parents save lives first. What you do in the initial moments of an emergency is what creates the life changing difference for your little one. That is why we exist, and why we will never stop empowering parents to be ready.

Being a paramedic is what led me here. It’s the reason Tiny Hearts exists and it will always be part of me.

I stood in impossible moments. The kind most people never see. I saw how fast things can change for families and how often parents were left wishing they’d known what to do just minutes earlier.

Those moments lit a fire in me. Not from fear, but from clarity. Because what I saw, over and over again, was that when parents are prepared, outcomes change. Not perfectly. Not every time. But meaningfully.

Tiny Hearts was born from that truth. From the belief that parents deserve access to the knowledge that can protect their own little ones. That the most important care often happens before help arrives. And that confidence in those moments is learned, not instinctive.

These roots will always stay with me. They shape everything we do. Because behind every lesson is a family, a child, and a moment that matters.
This is why I do this.

One of the most important things to notice in this video is that even though these neighbours live next to a paramedic, the very first thing he says is call triple zero.

He has the skills. He knows exactly what actions to take to clear a choking airway. But he also knows that if those actions don’t work, an ambulance must already be on the way.

When an airway remains blocked, a child can quickly become unconscious and stop breathing, which means CPR and advanced resuscitation will be required. That transition can happen fast.

Calling triple zero early ensures help is coming if choking treatment doesn’t resolve the situation. Because ambulances don’t arrive instantly, and what happens before they get there is critical.

This is a powerful reminder of why parents need to have the skills themselves. We can’t rely on luck, and we can’t rely on who happens to be nearby when our child needs help.

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.
