Colds are very common in babies and toddlers, and while they can be worrying, most get better on their own with simple care.

Keeping your child comfortable with fluids, rest and age-appropriate remedies can help ease symptoms, and knowing when to seek medical advice is important for peace of mind. Trusted guidance can help you support your child safely at home. 👶🤧💙

Would you like your voice to be heard?

NHS England, the Department of Health and Social Care and the Department for Education are working together to improve support for young carers, and they want to hear directly from you.

These national workshops are led by young carers and give you the chance to share your experiences and help shape real changes across England.

📆 Workshop date:
• 6 January: 4–5pm and 6–7pm

Your insight matters. Many young carers are still unidentified and missing out on support, so your voice can help change this.

Help and guidance are available if you want to cut back, take a break, or rethink your relationship with alcohol. 💪🍃✨
