Did you know that latex balloons are one of the most dangerous choking hazards for young children?

What seems like a fairly innocuous party decoration could actually pose a serious risk to young children.

If a piece of latex balloon becomes lodged in a child’s airway it is likely to be almost impossible to remove using traditional choking techniques.

The reason for this is that the latex will be wet from saliva where the balloon has been blown up which will make it sticky and because latex is so light-weight, back-blows and abdominal thrusts are unlikely to dislodge it.

We’re not saying don’t have balloons at parties but following this simple advice could help to keep children safe:

- if balloons start to deflate dispose of them immediately
- if balloon bursts clean up the remnants right away so there aren’t bits of balloon left around
- always supervise children around balloons and do not allow them to suck or chew on them

Please SHARE this post with all your parent friends so they’re aware of the dangers.

We all had one... the baby name we absolutely loved but never got to use.
Maybe your partner said no. Maybe it just didn’t suit your little one when they arrived. Maybe you’re saving it for another day.
Tell us in the comments, what baby name did you love but didn’t use?
Bonus points if you tell us why it didn’t make the final cut…

Mastitis can come on quickly and leave you feeling sore, unwell and exhausted, especially when you’re already caring for a little one. Knowing the signs early can make a big difference.
If you notice breast pain, redness, swelling, flu-like symptoms or feel generally unwell, it’s important to take action promptly. Keep feeding or expressing regularly, rest where you can, stay hydrated and seek medical advice if symptoms don’t improve or you feel very unwell.
You do not need to struggle through it alone. Support is available, and getting help early can speed up recovery.
Save this post so you know what to look out for, and share with a new parent who might need it.

…unless they are yours.

Newborns are tiny, perfect and vulnerable.

While it’s so tempting to shower a new baby with kisses, it’s important to remember: kissing a newborn can put them at serious risk.

Babies have very fragile immune systems. Even a simple cold sore (caused by the herpes virus) can be life-threatening for them.

Other common infections like RSV (a respiratory virus) can also lead to severe illness.

The NHS advises to:

Avoid kissing newborns, especially if you’re feeling unwell, have a cold sore, or even mild cold symptoms.
Wash your hands before touching a baby.
Stay away if you're feeling even slightly under the weather.

It’s all about keeping these tiny humans safe while they grow stronger!

Please share this post with 5 loved ones.

In honour of Bowel Cancer Awareness month we’re ask you to share this with 5 friends to help raise awareness of the symptoms.

Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers in the UK so everyone should be aware of the warning signs.

Other symptoms may include:

changes in your poo, such as having softer poo, diarrhoea or constipation that is not usual for you
needing to poo more or less often than usual for you
blood in your poo, which may look red or black
bleeding from your bottom
often feeling like you need to poo, even if you've just been to the toilet
tummy pain
a lump in your tummy
bloating
losing weight without trying
feeling very tired for no reason

If you have experienced any of the symptoms above for 3 weeks or more please see a GP. Having these symptoms doesn’t always mean you have bowel cancer but it’s important to get checked out to rule it out.

About 1 in 4 pregnant women in the UK have a caesarean birth — some planned, some as an emergency when things change unexpectedly.

Most C-sections are done with a spinal or epidural anaesthetic — you’ll be awake but won’t feel pain. A screen will block your view, but the team will keep you updated. You might feel some tugging, and the whole thing usually takes 40–50 mins.

Who’s in the room?

Your birth partner (unless under general anaesthetic)
A midwife
A consultant obstetrician or registrar
An anaesthetist
An anaesthetic nurse
A scrub nurse
A theatre nurse
A paediatrician
Medical student (with your approval)

It can feel overwhelming when the room fills up — especially in an emergency — but every person is there to support a safe delivery for you and your baby.

If baby’s well, you’ll usually get skin-to-skin cuddles right away.

Speak to your midwife to find out more and check NHS guidance for recovery + risks.

Autism is often spoken about using negative words such as ‘disorder’ and ‘difficulty’. Of course it brings with it challenges which differ for each individual but there are also lots of positives to being autistic so thank you for highlighting these.

If you’re a parent advocating for an autistic child in a world created for neurotypical people we know how tough this can be and we see you.
