🕯️ Today, we come together to honour the little souls who left us too soon as we join the global community in the to remember and support those affected by baby loss.

🕯️ If you’d like to join in with this act of remembrance, light a candle and let it burn for at least an hour.

🕯️ Share your candle in your stories and use the hashtag.

🤍By doing so, we raise awareness and break the silence around this deeply personal and often stigmatised grief.

🤍This week, let’s offer support, compassion, and understanding to those who have experienced baby loss. Know that you’re not alone.

🤍The wave of light will light up the darkness and show that love never fades.

☕️ 46 of those 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
• It is estimated that on average 110 children per day are seen in emergency departments with burn injuries – 46 as a result of a hot cup of tea or coffee spill
• 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
• The average cost to the NHS for a major burn is £168,155
• 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:

1 – remove any clothing (including their nappy as this will retain the hot liquid and potentially cause more harm)
2 – cool the burn for 20 mins under cool running
3 – 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.

😷 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.

🤒 Febrile seizures are relatively common in young children and can be very scary to witness, especially if you’ve never heard of them.

⏰ They usually last for around 2 to 3 minutes and it’s important to know what to do during and after a seizure.

🌡️ They usually affect children between 6 months and 6 years old because the part of the brain that controls temperature regulation isn’t fully developed.

Today is day so in honour of this here are some important reminders for us mums.

Becoming a mum can feel hard at times. Feelings of loneliness and sadness at the loss of the life you had before you had your baby are not uncommon but are not commonly spoken about for fear of judgement or being deemed a ‘bad’ mother. 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. We were never meant to do this on our own.

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

🔹Glandular fever (also known as infectious mononucleosis) is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).

🔹In babies and toddlers, symptoms are often mild but it’s still important to know what to look for.

Common symptoms in children can include:
• High fever
• Sore throat / tonsillitis
• Swollen glands (especially in the neck)
• Extreme tiredness or fatigue
• Rash
• Poor appetite or swollen tonsils

How common is it?
In the UK, many children are exposed to EBV very early in life.
Research shows:
• Around 20–50% of children test positive for the virus - usually with no symptoms - by age 2
• By ages 1–5 years, about 70% have already had EBV
• By adulthood, nearly everyone has been infected

🔹Older children and young adults who contract the virus for the first time are more likely to display symptoms.

🔹Most children recover within a few weeks, though fatigue can sometimes linger.

🔹Always speak to your GP if your child has ongoing high fever, severe sore throat or prolonged exhaustion.

SAVE THIS POST

Tomorrow is World Sepsis Day.

⚠️ Sepsis can be life-threatening — and it’s more common than you might think.

‼️ In the UK, around 245,000 people are affected by sepsis every year, and sadly 48,000 people lose their lives because of it.

🦠 Sepsis is a reaction to an infection where the body’s immune system starts attacking its own tissues and organs. It can develop quickly and is hard to spot — especially in babies and young children.

That’s why knowing the symptoms matters. Acting fast could save a life.

Save this post so you can refer back to it in an emergency, and please share to raise awareness this World Sepsis Day. Together, we can spread the word and help protect more families.
