🩷 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so there's no better time to learn how to perform a breast self-exam.

🩷 According to Cancer Research UK, breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK, with more than 55,000 new cases diagnosed each year.

🩷 It's estimated that 1 in 7 women in the UK will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.

🩷 While breast cancer primarily affects women, it's important to remember that men can be diagnosed too. Approximately 370 men in the UK are diagnosed with breast cancer each year.

🩷 Early detection through regular self-exams, mammograms and clinical screenings can significantly increase the chances of successful treatment. The earlier breast cancer is detected, the more treatment options are available, and the better the outcomes.

🩷 Here's our simple guide on how to check your breasts for signs of breast cancer.

🙁 We are all feeling the pinch at the moment with bills increasing. As a result, lots of families are turning to hot water bottles to help keep warm without increasing energy bills further.

🥶 As we head into the colder months, it’s so important to follow the safety guidance on hot water bottles and use them as advised. Burns from hot water bottles can be extremely serious.

👉 There are two key bits of advice:

⚠️ Do not fill with boiling water
⚠️ Check the flower symbol found on the inside of the bottle-neck to see when it needs replacing (swipe to see how to read this).

👉Usually manufacturers advise replacing every 2 years, but check with your manufacturer.

🙏 Please follow the guidance to help keep little ones (and yourself) safe.

❓If you did some first aid in your antenatal classes is it time for a refresher?

🤔 What did you think about when you were expecting your little one?

👶 The birth of your baby, coming home from hospital, feeding, sleep (or lack of!) and how to tell if your newborn is breathing normally.

🥰 Daisy First Aid are proud to work with a number of fantastic antenatal providers all over the UK to deliver first aid classes to expectant parents.

🔹 If you did a first aid class when you were expecting your baby it’s likely you were focused on what to do when your little one was first born.

🥕 Fast-forward to when baby is 5 months and weaning is on the horizon. Or to when your little one is on the move and putting everything in their mouth. What about when they’re learning to walk? And climb?

😲 As your baby grows so too do the challenges as a parent and the hazards change.

🗓 We recommend annual first aid refreshers to absolutely everyone we teach to keep the potentially life-saving skills fresh in your mind.

👍 With knowledge comes confidence and calm in an emergency.

💙 Search ‘Daisy First Aid’ and find your local trainer and book a class today. We guarantee you won’t regret it.

🔹 Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of coughs and colds. RSV infectinos usually get better by themselves, but can sometimes be serious for babies and older adults.

🔹 RSV infections are very common. Almost all children get them at least once before they’re 2 years old.

🔹 They're not usually serious, but some babies and adults have a higher risk of getting seriously ill, particularly:

👉 babies under 6 months old
👉 young children who were born prematurely
👉 adults over 75 years
👉 babies, children and adults with a weakened immune system, or long-term lung or heart conditions
👉 people who smoke to***co and babies exposed to to***co smoke

🔹 In babies, RSV is a common cause of a type of chest infection called bronchiolitis.

🔹 This can cause breathing problems and may need to be treated in hospital.

🔹 RSV can also cause a serious lung infection (pneumonia) in babies and older adults.

👉 Swipe for symptoms and when to get advice from medical professionals.

☕️ And 46 of those 110 cases is due to hot drinks spills.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
‼️ A hot drink can seriously burn a child 15 minutes after it’s been made. It’s important to keep hot drinks well out of reach of little ones and remind any guests visiting of how important this is too.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Across the board (children & adults) scalds are the most common cause of burn injury, representing 43% of acute burn injuries
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• The majority of burn injuries occurring to children are between 3 and 6pm
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• The most common place of injury for children is in the home – 49% of whom are burnt in the kitchen
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Burn cooling is critical in the initial first aid response to injury – applying cool running water for 20 minutes is considered best practice.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If your child does accidentally get burned the first aid treatment they receive could make all the difference to their recovery.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Remember:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣ remove any clothing (including their nappy as this will retain the hot liquid and potentially cause more harm)
2️⃣ cool the burn for a FULL 20 mins under cool running
3️⃣ cover the burn with cling film
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚠️ Then take the child to be seen by a medical professional.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚠️ Children’s skin burns at a lower temperature to ours so it’s so important to take extra care when there are little ones around.

They also come with a decent helping of guilt for having those feelings.

🫶🏼 We’re here to tell you to go easy on yourself; you’re doing a great job!

🫶🏼 If you are struggling and feel you could use some support, here are some people who can help you. You are not alone.
