🥵 Fevers can be really worrying, especially in little ones.

🤒 A fever is temperature of 38°C or above and it’s often a sign the body is fighting off an infection. Most fevers settle on their own, but there are times when seeking medical advice is important.

👉 You should seek urgent medical help if:
🔹 Your baby is under 3 months and has a temperature of 38°C or higher
🔹 Your baby is 3 to 6 months and has a temperature of 39°C or higher
🔹 They seem unusually sleepy, floppy or hard to wake
🔹 They have difficulty breathing
🔹 They have a rash that does not fade when you press a glass against it
🔹 They have a seizure
🔹 They show signs of dehydration, such as fewer wet nappies, or no tears when crying

👉 For older babies and children, trust your instincts. If they are not themselves, not feeding, or you’re worried, it’s always okay to get them checked.

🤒 Fevers are common and most are mild, but knowing when to seek help can make all the difference. 🤗

💙 Knowledge brings confidence, and that confidence helps you stay calm when it matters most.

🙌 Today we want to celebrate single parents.

🩵 The ones doing double the jobs, making all the decisions, carrying the mental load and still showing up with love every single day.

💙 The ones who juggle school runs, work, emotions, bedtime worries and their own exhaustion, often without a break.

💚 Whether you are a single parent by choice, by circumstance, temporarily or long term, you are doing something incredible.

🤩 We see you and we hope you know just how amazing you are, especially on the really hard days!

♥️Oxytocin is known as ‘the love hormone’. In honour of valentine’s day here are 6 ways new parents can naturally trigger the release of this feel good hormone!

🥰Skin-to-skin contact
- skin-to-skin time with your baby is a wonderful bonding opportunity and will help promote the release of oxytocin for both you and your baby.

🥰Breastfeeding
- Breastfeeding triggers the release of oxytocin.

🥰Cuddle time
- Cuddling and holding your little one will release Oxytocin and will also help your baby’s brain development. Remember, you can’t spoil a baby so hold and cuddle your baby as much as you like; it’s beneficial for both of you!

🥰Baby-wearing
- Wearing your baby in a carrier helps keep them to feel close and connected to you whilst you have your hands free to do other things. Keeping your baby close to you will help release Oxytocin in both parent and baby.

🥰Smell your baby’s head
- You know that amazing newborn baby smell? This will release Oxytocin. If only they could bottle this scent!

🥰Baby massage
- Touch also aids the release of Oxytocin so practising baby massage with your baby is a lovely way to bond with them and release more of that love hormone. There are multiple benefits to baby massage for both parents and baby.

👶🏼In short, keeping your baby close to you is going to have a positive impact on both you and your baby in those early days and will get those lovely hormones flowing.

🔹 Mastitis can come on quickly, and it can feel really uncomfortable, but knowing the signs early can make a big difference .

🔹 Look out for symptoms like a sore or painful area in the breast, redness or warmth, flu-like feelings, fever, or feeling generally run down. If something does not feel right, trust your instincts.

🔹 If symptoms are not improving within 24 hours, or you feel very unwell, it is important to speak to a GP or healthcare professional as antibiotics may be needed.

👶 Welcoming a new baby is a huge change, especially for older siblings.

Here are some gentle, practical ways to help them feel secure, loved and included during those early weeks.

👉 Plan the first meeting
If you can, avoid holding the baby when they first meet. Free arms mean you can give your older child lots of cuddles first, then bring baby in together.

👉 Prepare your visitors
Ask friends and family to make a fuss of your older child too. A small gift just for them can really help them feel included.

👉 Avoid calling them “the big one”
It can feel quite jarring for a child who has always been the baby. Try not to change expectations overnight and ask others to do the same.

👉 Get them their own baby
A doll they can feed, cuddle or change alongside you can be a lovely way to play and feel involved.

👉 Invest in a good sling
A sling can be a real lifesaver with a newborn and a toddler. Baby stays close and content while your hands are free for play and cuddles.

👉 Create a special feeding box
Save a box of activities just for feeding times. It comes out while you feed the baby and goes away again afterwards.

👉 Don’t “blame” the baby
Try swapping “I can’t, I’m holding the baby” for “my hands are busy right now, I’ll help you as soon as I can”.

👉 Make time for one-to-one moments
Even short pockets of time can mean the world. If you can, step away from the baby and focus fully on your older child.
There is no perfect way to do this. Be kind to yourself, take it one day at a time, and remember that love is not divided, it grows.

👩‍🍳 If you’re not a baker, baking with little ones can feel a bit overwhelming. The good news is it really doesn’t need to be complicated.

👩‍🍳 Baking is a brilliant activity to enjoy together and it naturally supports numeracy, simple science, fine motor skills, and creativity too.

🙌 To celebrate ‘World Nutella Day’, 😉 we are sharing this super simple brownie recipe using just three ingredients!

You will need:
✅ 2 eggs
✅ 75g flour
✅ 225g Nutella

What to do:
• Preheat your oven to 180°C.
• Add all the ingredients to a large bowl and mix until smooth.
• Lightly grease a baking tray and pour in the mixture. You can sprinkle walnuts on top if you like.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. To check if they are ready, carefully insert a knife into the brownies. If it comes out clean, they are done.
• Leave to cool, cut into squares, and enjoy.

👍 If you give this one a go, let us know how you get on!

❗️ not suitable for anyone with hazelnut or dairy allergies. 🌰 🥛

🤔 Would you know how to tell if your child has worms?

🪱 You can spot worms in your poo. They look like pieces of white thread.

💤 You might also see them around your child's bottom (a**s). The worms usually come out at night while your child is sleeping.

💊 You can buy medicine (mebendazole) for threadworms from pharmacies. This is usually a chewable tablet or liquid you swallow.

🏡 Treat everyone in your household, even if they do not have symptoms.

🤰🏻 Tell the pharmacist if you need to treat a child under 2, or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Treatment might not be suitable and you may need to speak to a GP.

🥚 Medicine kills the threadworms, but it does not kill the eggs. Eggs can live for up to 2 weeks outside the body.

✅ ❎ Swipe for our do’s and don’ts for dealing with threadworms.

👉 SAVE this post in case you ever need to refer to it.
