January with a tiny baby can feel long, quiet and exhausting.

The days blur, the nights are broken and everything feels harder in the cold.

These little tips aren’t about “fixing” anything. They’re about making today feel a bit easier.

You don’t need routines.
You don’t need to be productive.
You don’t need to have it all worked out.

If you and your baby are fed, warm and safe, you’re doing exactly what you need to be doing.

Save this for a tough day, or send it to a new mum who might need a gentle reminder that she’s doing brilliantly.

The most recent update brings the biggest changes we’ve seen in 20 years in first aid and includes changes to infant choking and CPR techniques.

Whether you’ve done a Daisy First Aid class already or if you’re new to first aid now is the perfect time to book your class.

he exact cause of pre-eclampsia isn’t known however it’s thought it occurs when there’s a problem with the placenta.

Most people only experience mild symptoms but if it isn’t treated it can lead to serious complications for both mum and baby so it’s important it is diagnosed and monitored.

According to the NHS, the earlier symptoms of pre-eclampsia are present the more severe the condition will be.

Other factors that can slightly increase the risk include:

- a family history of pre-eclampsia
- if you’re aged over 40
- it’s been more than 10 years since your last pregnancy
- if you are expecting multiple babies
- if your BMI is 35 or higher

If you have 2 or more of these together your chances are higher.

If you’re diagnosed with pre-eclampsia you’ll be referred to a specialist at hospital where they’ll do further tests to see how severe it is. Pre-eclampsia will only be cured by giving birth to your baby, so you’ll be monitored closely until it’s possible to deliver your baby. You’ll need to attend regular appointments so you can be monitored and in severe cases you may need to be admitted to hospital.

Life as a parent of little people can be exhausting. This New Year there’s no need for the ‘New Year, New You’ narrative. You are all your little one needs, just as you are. You don’t need to reinvent yourself just because the calendar flipped.

So here’s to stepping into 2026 with kindness for yourself, confidence in what you’re doing and the hope that one day soon you’ll get just a little bit more sleep!

Seeing in the New Year with little ones doesn’t have to mean staying up till midnight… let’s be honest, half of us parents won’t make it to midnight anyway. But celebrating the fresh start with our tiny people can be full of magic.

Here are some simple ways to make New Year’s Eve feel special without the super late night.

Get dressed up
You might not be out-out anymore but popping on something sparkly and having a “house party” with the kids makes the evening feel exciting for everyone.

New Year crafting
Countdown clocks they can colour in as bedtime approaches, painted fireworks, DIY party hats… it all adds to the fun.

Sparkly cupcakes
Bake some simple cupcakes and let the kids loose with glittery sprinkles. Instant celebration!

Make a 2024 wish tree
Find a stick on a walk, paint it at home then hang everyone’s wishes for the year ahead. A jar works just as well if sticks are scarce.

Create a time capsule
Add drawings, photos, magazine cut outs or even favourite snack wrappers. Seal it and choose a date in the future to open it together.

Practise gratitude
Share one thing you’re thankful for from the past year and invite your little ones to do the same. It’s a lovely habit to nurture.

Countdown to bedtime
Catch a replay of last year’s fireworks or use a countdown from a different time zone so they still get the excitement before lights out.

However you’re planning to welcome the new year with your little crew, we hope it’s full of fun, happiness and lots of sleep!

Christmas 2025 - done!

Happy Boxing Day to every parent and carer who successfully delivered another magical Christmas... and is now running purely on leftover stuffing and mulled wine.

If your living room currently looks like wrapping paper met a blender, if every toy makes a noise, or if you stepped on something sharp before 9am, congratulations... you’ve nailed it!

Today’s vibe is stretchy clothes, cold roasties straight from the fridge and pretending the mountain of new toys will somehow tidy itself.

Enjoy the chaos, the cuddles and any quiet moments you can sneak in.

We did it!

Merry Christmas from the Daisy First Aid team.
If your house is loud, glittery, snack covered or full of tiny humans who woke you up way before sunrise... we see you!
Pregnant this Christmas?
We hope someone is handing you snacks on demand and giving you the comfiest seat in the house.
Baby’s first Christmas?
Prepare for a million photos, crinkly wrapping paper being the main event and at least one nap that happens just when you wanted a family photo.
Toddler in the mix?
Good luck keeping the baubles on the tree. You’ve got this.
Older children bouncing off the walls with excitment?
May your festive energy be strong and your biscuits never run out.
Thank you for being part of our Daisy family this year.
Wishing you a day full love, happiness and just the right amount of chaos.
