🧪 Hormones are chemicals produced by different glands across your body. They travel through the bloodstream, acting as messengers and playing a part in many bodily processes.

😊 One of these important functions is helping to regulate your mood.

❤️ Certain hormones are known to help promote positive feelings, including happiness and pleasure and these are some very simple ways we can help our bodies to produce them!

🔹 Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that happens when the body overreacts to an infection. It can develop quickly, which is why acting fast really matters.

🔹 As a parent, you know your child better than anyone. It’s so important to trust your instincts.

🔹 If your child shows any early warning signs, seems more unwell than you would expect, or something just doesn’t feel right, seek urgent medical attention straight away.

🔹 Save this post so you can refer to it later. And please share this with your friends with little ones.

👩‍🍳 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.

🙌 Earlier this week it was World Nutella Day, so 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!

👏 Today we want to take a moment to recognise just how much commitment goes into pumping. Not just physically, but mentally too.

😴 Pumping can be exhausting. The planning, the cleaning, the timing, the interrupted sleep, the sitting attached to a machine while life carries on around you. It can feel isolating, frustrating and relentless at times. It is hard work, even on the days when it is going well.

❤️ But it is also an incredible act of love and determination. Showing up again and again, even when you are tired, touched out or doubting yourself, takes real strength.

🙌 If you are pumping right now, whether that is full time, part time, exclusively or occasionally, we see you. If you pumped for a day, a week, a month or longer than you ever thought you would, that matters. And if you stopped because it was too much, that matters too.

👶 However you feed your baby, you are doing an amazing job.

❓ What else would you add to this list?

🔹 Impetigo is a skin infection that's very contagious but not usually serious. It often gets better in 7 to 10 days if you get treatment. Anyone can get it, but it's very common in young children.

🔹 Impetigo starts with red sores or blisters. They quickly burst and leave crusty, golden-brown patches.

These can:
- look a bit like cornflakes stuck to your skin
- get bigger
- spread to other parts of your body
- be itchy
- sometimes be painful

🔹 Impetigo can easily spread to other parts of your body or to other people until it stops being contagious.

It stops being contagious:
- 48 hours after you start using the medicine your GP prescribed
- when the patches dry out and crust over (if you do not get treatment)
You can do some things to help stop it spreading or getting worse while it's still contagious

✅ Do:

- keep your child away from school
- keep sores, blisters and crusty patches clean and dry
- cover them with loose clothing or gauze bandages
- wash their hands frequently
- wash flannels, sheets and towels at a high temperature
- wash or wipe down toys with detergent and warm water

❌ Do not:

- don’t let them touch or scratch sores, blisters or crusty patches – this also helps stop scarring
- don’t let them have close contact people with diabetes or a weakened immune system
- do not share their flannels, sheets or towels with anyone else
- do not let them play contact sports like football

⚠️ Choking is silent and happens very quickly. So it’s important to know what to do when it happens and to act fast.

👍 It’s also important to do whatever you can to prevent children from choking.

👆 Here are some of the top choking hazards for children under 5.

Please remember:

✅ STAY with young children when they’re eating.

✅ Make sure children are STILL while they are eating. A child running around with food in their mouth is much more likely to choke.
