Cervical cancer causes around 685 deaths in England each year, but the good news is this is one cancer that can be prevented.

Thanks to cervical screening and the HPV vaccine, eliminating cervical cancer is more achievable than ever before.

Cervical screening saves lives.

The NHS Love Your Cervix campaign launches this week and it’s an important reminder to attend your smear test if you’ve been invited and if you’re not sure if you’re due one to get in touch with your GP to find out.

The test itself takes less than 5 minutes, and the whole appointment is usually around 10 minutes. A few minutes of discomfort are worth the peace of mind.

🍿 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.

💙You might have heard of Blue Monday, which is often labelled as the “most depressing day of the year”. And it’s today!

💚But the lovely folks at Samaritans have rebranded it as Brew Monday, and we are very here for that.

The idea is simple and powerful. Mental health struggles do not neatly fit into one day on the calendar.

They can show up any day, any week, any month. That is why checking in on the people we care about should be a regular thing.

☕️ Brew Monday is all about connection. Putting the kettle on, sending a quick message, having a proper chat, or just sitting together and listening. No fixing, no pressure, just being there.

Today is a great reminder to reach out to a friend to see how they’re doing.

A small check in can make a big difference.

If you are struggling, you do not have to cope alone.

Support is always available.

Samaritans – Offers confidential emotional support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can call 116 123

Is your baby ready to start solids?

The guidelines say you should start weaning at around 6 months but babies aren’t robots and don’t magically become ready overnight once they turn 6 months.

Here are the 3 physiological signs your baby is ready to start solids. And for 1 sign that you are ready!

1 – Have they lost their tongue thrust reflex?
When you put a spoon in baby’s mouth they don’t automatically push it out.
Babies are born with a tongue thrust reflex to keep them safe from choking. Losing this is one of the signs they’re ready for solids.

2 – Are they able to sit up?
Your baby can sit up with a nice straight back and be able to hold their head up.
They may topple over if they reach for something but can sit up without support in the highchair.

3 – Can they put food to their mouth accurately?
Baby can pick something up and put it to their mouth accurately every time they try.

4 – Have you and anyone caring for your baby done a Daisy First Aid class?

Learn the skills that could save your baby’s life and gain the confidence to know when you can leave them to it plus LOADS more in a fun and friendly first aid class either at home or in one of our local venues.

Head to daisyfirstaid.com to find your lovely local trainer.

😷 Tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils at the back of your throat. It is a common childhood illness, but teenagers and adults can get it too. Tonsillitis can feel like a bad cold or flu. The tonsils at the back of your throat will be red and swollen.

The main symptoms are:

😷 a sore throat
😷 problems swallowing
🤒 a high temperature of 38C or above
😷 coughing
🤕 a headache
🤢 feeling sick
👂 earache
🥱 feeling tired

Symptoms will usually go away after 3 to 4 days. Tonsillitis is not contagious, but most of the infections that cause it are, for example, colds and flu.

You should keep your child at home until they feel better. To help treat the symptoms:

🛌 ensure they get plenty of rest
🥤 give cool drinks or ice lollies to soothe the throat
💊 give paracetamol or ibuprofen (following the guidance on the packaging)

See a GP or phone 111 if:

👩‍⚕️ you see white pus-filled spots on your child’s tonsils
👩‍⚕️ their eating and drinking is affected
👩‍⚕️ symptoms haven’t gone after 4 days

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
