🚫 No Honey for Babies Under 1! 🐝

Did you know? Babies under 12 months should never be given honey, not even in tiny amounts.

👉 Why?
Honey can contain spores of Clostridium botulinum, which can lead to infant botulism, a rare but serious illness that affects the nervous system. A baby’s gut isn’t developed enough to handle it safely.

✅ Safe for toddlers over 1 year
🚫 Not safe for infants under 12 months

Always check food labels: honey can show up in cereals, snacks, and even natural remedies!

🍼 When in doubt, leave it out.

🚨Kids bump their heads a lot, but how do you know when it’s serious? 🚨

Go to https://www.headcheck.com.au/ and download the head check app.

🧠 Minor bumps usually just need rest and TLC – but it’s better to be safe when it comes to the brain.

⚠️ Important Reminder for Expecting Parents ⚠️

Safety Alert - baby deaths associated with home use foetal heart monitors

There are currently NO home-use foetal heart monitors approved by the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) for supply in Australia.

While it might be tempting to use these devices at home to check your baby’s heartbeat, they can provide false reassurance or cause unnecessary worry and in some tragic cases, this has led to delayed medical care.

👉 For more information, read the full safety alert from the TGA here:

💛 Always consult with your healthcare provider if you have concerns during pregnancy.
