Really important information

WARNING: Baby sleep pillows can be deadly

These soft pillows and cushions are often marketed for baby sleep or as somewhere for a baby to be left unsupervised. But this can cause suffocation or overheating, and your baby might even die.

Despite what some online product listings suggest, pillows are not recommended for babies until they are at least 12 months old. The safest place for your baby to sleep is on a clear, firm, flat surface.

Seizure triggers to be aware of 🧠⚡

Seizures can sometimes be triggered by tiredness, stress, illness, or head injuries.

As an employer or nursery manager, understanding and recording this information is really important if you support an employee or child with seizures. Knowing individual triggers helps you plan, reduce risks, and respond appropriately if a seizure occurs.

Awareness creates safer, more supportive environments 💙

Why do seizures happen? 🧠⚡

Seizures are caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. There are different types, including focal, generalised, and absence seizures. In young children, especially those under 5, seizures can sometimes be triggered by a high temperature (febrile seizures).

Understanding the basics helps us recognise and respond with care 💙

•Respond confidently in an emergency, Whether it’s a customer, colleague, or loved one, proper training enables you to act quickly and effectively when every second counts.
•First aid skills don’t stop at work, Emergencies can happen at any time these skills are just as valuable in the family home.

🚨Do you know where your nearest defibrillator is?🚨

Comment Below To Help Somebody Else⚠️

Knowing the answer could save a life😬

Sudden cardiac arrest can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone. When every second counts, would you know where to go?

👉 Take a moment today to find your nearest defibrillator.
👉 Share this post someone you know might need it one day.
👉 Be ready. Be informed. Be the difference. ❤️

Why defibrillators are so important❗️

•They increase survival rates in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and help reduce the risk of brain damage.
•They work alongside CPR, helping keep someone alive until an ambulance arrives which can take longer during peak times.
•They are safe and easy to use, designed for the public with clear visual and spoken instructions that guide you step by step.

You don’t need medical training to save a life just the confidence to act.
