…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 people you love.

❣️ 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.

❓So, 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 and risks.

❤️ April is autism awareness month so in honour of this we thought we’d share this fantastic post from

🧡 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.

❓Is there an ideal age gap between siblings?

🔹 We know that every family is unique, and these things aren't generally within our control.
