🤕 Why is crying after a bump to the head often reassuring?

Because it usually means your child is conscious, responsive and breathing normally. Crying is a natural reaction to pain, shock and fright, and can be a good sign right after a bump.

BUT keep watching them closely afterwards for at least 24 hours. If they display any of the following symptoms take them to A&E or call 999 immediately.

If your baby or child has:
- Lost consciousness (even briefly)
- Difficulty staying awake or keeping their eyes open
- A fit (seizure)
- Fallen from a height more than 1 metre or 5 stairs
- Problems with their vision or hearing
- A black eye without direct injury to the eye
- Clear fluid coming from their ears or nose
- Bleeding from their ears or bruising behind their ears
- Numbness or weakness in part of their body
- Problems with walking, balance, understanding, speaking or writing
- Hit their head at speed, such as in a car crash, being hit by a car or bike or a diving accident
- A head wound with something inside it or a dent to the head
- Been crying more than usual (especially in babies and young children)
- Vomited since the injury
- Had a change in behaviour, like being more irritable, losing interest in things or being easily distracted (especially in children under 5)

Crying can be reassuring in the moment, but it’s what happens next that really matters.

Following these guidelines will help keep your baby safe and well and reduce the risk of SIDS.

SIDS is thankfully rare, but it’s important to be aware of it because it can still happen and getting into a safer sleep routine will reduce the risk.

As parents, we hold the incredible privilege of shaping the next generation of strong, kind and fearless women - one bedtime story, one conversation, one small act at a time.

Every day, we have the opportunity to teach our children that their voices matter. To show our daughters that their worth isn’t tied to how ‘polite’ or ‘pretty’ they are, but to their courage, intelligence, and determination. To raise our sons to see women as equals, not as helpers or caretakers, but as leaders and change-makers.

Confidence starts young. It starts with letting our girls take up space, speak their minds, and dream without limits. It starts with showing them that leadership isn’t just for men, that ‘bossy’ is just another word for ‘determined,’ and that they never have to shrink themselves to make others comfortable.

It also starts with challenging outdated norms. Teaching our kids that housework is for everyone, that emotions aren’t a ‘girl thing,’ and that strength comes in many forms.

Let’s raise a generation that that lifts women up instead of holding them back, and that sees equality not as an ideal, but as a reality we create together.

Who’s with me?!

🪫 If you ever suspect a child has swallowed a button battery (those small round coin-sized batteries found in toys, remotes or watches), it’s important to act IMMEDIATELY.

These batteries can start reacting with body fluids and damage tissue within hours, and it should always be treated as a medical emergency.

🚨 Always call 999 or get straight to A&E if you even suspect a child may have ingested one.

🚑 While you’re on the way to hospital the guidance now is that if the child is over 12 months old, giving them 2 teaspoons of honey every 10 minutes (up to about 6 doses) may help slow the chemical reaction and protect the throat and oesophagus until medical care can be given.

❗️ This is only recommended if it’s immediately available and shouldn’t delay getting emergency help.
Important:

⚠️ Do NOT give honey to children under 1 year old due to the risk of infant botulism.

Honey is a temporary measure only – it does not replace urgent medical assessment and treatment.

This is brand new guidance in the UK so please share this post with your parent friends to update them.

Chicken pox is doing the rounds again at the moment. Here’s how to spot it and the do’s and don’ts when it comes to treating it.

An itchy, spotty rash is the main symptom of chickenpox. It can be anywhere on the body.

Chickenpox happens in 3 stages. But new spots can appear while others are becoming blisters or forming a scab.

Stage 1: small spots appear

The spots can:
be anywhere on the body, including inside the mouth and around the ge****ls, which can be painful
spread or stay in a small area
be red, pink, darker or the same colour as surrounding skin, depending on your skin tone
be harder to see on brown and black skin

Stage 2: the spots become blisters

The spots fill with fluid and become blisters. The blisters are very itchy and may burst.

Stage 3: the blisters become scabs

The spots form a scab. Some scabs are flaky while others leak fluid.
Before or after the rash appears, you might also get:
a high temperature
aches and pains, and generally feeling unwell
loss of appetite

Swipe for photos and the do’s and don’ts of treating a child with chickenpox.

Worried about your baby’s head shape? Here’s what you need to know…

It’s normal for babies to develop a slightly flattened head after spending lots of time lying on their back. This is called flat head syndrome, and it comes in two types:

🔹Plagiocephaly – One side of the head flattens, making it look uneven or asymmetrical. The ears may be misaligned, and the forehead might bulge slightly.
🔹Brachycephaly – The back of the head flattens, making the head wider, sometimes causing the forehead to stick out.

Flat head syndrome affects about 1 in 5 babies, and in most cases, it’s not a cause for concern. It doesn’t affect brain development and usually improves naturally as your baby grows and starts moving more.
When Should You Seek Advice?

If you’re worried about your baby’s head shape or notice they have trouble turning their head, speak to your GP or health visitor. They can check your baby and suggest helpful tips.

What Can You Do to Help?

💛Give your baby tummy time during the day.
💛Switch between a sling, sloping chair, and flat surface to reduce pressure on one area.
💛Move toys and mobiles to encourage head turning.
💛Alternate sides when feeding and carrying.
💛Limit time in car seats and prams when possible.
