Who else has been obsessively following Punch’s story this weekend?! Heart-breaking and heart-warming all at once!

If you’re a parent of a little one, you probably know all about the comfort of a favourite toy or teddy 🧸 What does your little one carry around with them all the time, and do you live in fear of losing it?!

Oh, and p.s. when your little one needs a ‘best friend’ that will comfort them when they trip or fall - grab yourself a Mini First Aid Teddy! 😉

S.A.D = Seasonal Affective Disorder
Key Aspects of SAD:
The main symptom of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is depression that happens in the winter and goes away in the summer.

Some people have depression symptoms in summer instead, but this is less common.

Symptoms of seasonal affective disorder include:

low mood
a lack of interest in things you usually enjoy
feeling guilty, hopeless or worthless
feeling restless or irritable
difficulty concentrating
being more hungry and eating more than usual
being more tired and sleeping more than usual
thoughts of su***de or self-harm
Some people also have a period of feeling more energetic than usual at the start of spring or summer.

Hopefully we are all feeling more ‘spring’ in our step as we move into the spring months ☀️ 🌺 😊

‼️ Choking prevention starts long before the food ever reaches your child’s mouth.

One of the most powerful things you can do to reduce the risks and severity of choking is prepare foods in a way that supports safe chewing and swallowing. Foods like grapes, sausages and bananas can be higher risk when served in round slices. Cutting them lengthwise changes how they move through the mouth and throat.

This simple step helps prevent food from blocking the airway and allows air to pass if food does momentarily catch, giving your child more time to clear it themselves.

Small changes in food preparation can make a big difference to safety and confidence at mealtimes.

Save this post if you’re weaning now or planning to start soon! 💚

Stair gate ✅ cupboard locks ✅ high-chair straps ✅ purse.....😬

You might think you have it covered when it comes to babyproofing your home. It’s common sense, right?

You install the baby gate, you make sure your high chair has the right straps, you fit locks on the cupboard doors...but what about the coins in your purse or wallet? What about the paracetamol you leave in your handbag or bedside drawer? What about that TV remote control with the easy-open battery compartment?

There are so many everyday objects and items in our house that could pose a risk to our baby or toddler - a risk of choking, poisoning, burning, cutting, or falling.

Accidents will happen, and we can’t always prevent them, but we can be as careful as we possibly can when it comes to everyday items in our household that our curious toddler or explorative baby might get hold of.

Take a look around your home today. Are the tall bookcases and cupboards fixed to the walls, are your hair straighteners out of reach, is your handbag or purse somewhere that your child could easily reach?

You don’t know what you don’t know when it comes to baby and child safety. Take a look at our babyproofing safety classes and check out our Mini First Aid baby & child first aid classes so that you can firstly prevent an accident happen, and secondly, know how to treat it if it does!

Just a little reminder to record the care you are giving and any signs & symptoms your child may be suffering from.

The NHS guidance is that parents can manage a temperature at home for up to 5 days - that’s a long time for the caregiver to remember the various times and dosages administered over a duration of days.

What to make a note of;

📅 Date
🧒🏼 Which Child - there are occasions when more than one may be poorly!
💊 Any medication given and dosage amount
⏰ Time of administrating the medication
🤒 Temperature of child
🤢 Signs & Symptoms they may be experiencing

💚 Just to help with passing over the caregiving or if there is more than one adult offering this, everyone is on the same page.

💚 If the child is experiencing these issues regularly you’re building a diary of their health to present to the GP if needed.

💚 Supports safe administration of medication as you know how many doses have been provided in that 24hr period.

Hope this helps 💚 Lell

This month, the Government launched a chickenpox vaccination programme in the United Kingdom, which aims to protect around half a million children each year

GP practices will offer eligible children a combined vaccine for measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (MMRV) - the clinical term for chickenpox - as part of the routine infant vaccination schedule.

According to Government research, chickenpox in childhood results in an estimated £24 million in parental lost income and productivity every year in the UK, so it’s hoped that the vaccine will mean children miss fewer days in nursery and school, so parents will not need to take time off work to care for them.

Lots more information on the vaccine can be found at the link in the comments. Please see your GP to check if your child is eligible and to discuss any concerns you may have.
