💛 C-Section Births 💛

Around 1 in 4 births in the UK are by caesarean - some planned, some happening quickly if circumstances change.

Most C-sections are carried out using a spinal or epidural 💉

You’ll be awake but won’t feel pain. A screen is used, but your team will keep you informed throughout.

You may feel some pressure or tugging, and the procedure usually takes around 40–50 minutes.

👩‍⚕️ Who might be in the room?
• Your birth partner (unless under general anaesthetic)
• A midwife
• Obstetrician / registrar
• Anaesthetist
• Anaesthetic nurse
• Scrub nurse
• Theatre nurse
• Paediatrician
• (Sometimes) a medical student — with your permission

It can feel overwhelming when the room fills up, especially in an emergency 💛

But every single person is there for one reason - to keep you and your baby safe.

🤱 If your baby is well, you’ll usually be able to have skin-to-skin cuddles straight away.

💬 Speak to your midwife if you’d like to know more, and check NHS guidance for recovery and risks.

🐣🍫 Easter Egg Reminder 🍫🐣

⚠️ Small chocolate eggs like these should NOT be given to children under 5 as they pose a serious choking risk.

These mini eggs are the perfect size to block a child’s airway, so it’s important to keep them well out of reach of little ones 👶

💛 Please keep them safely away from young children

😄 (We recommend eating them yourself instead!)

A simple reminder that can help keep little ones safe this Easter.

⚠️ Magnet Warning ⚠️

A mum has shared this to help raise awareness of the dangers of magnets.

She received a call from her child’s school to say her daughter needed to go to hospital due to abdominal pain 💛

This followed a widely shared TikTok trend where children were pretending to have tongue piercings.

Her daughter placed a magnet on the top and bottom of her tongue. When she lifted her tongue, she accidentally swallowed them.

⚠️ Why are magnets so dangerous?

Swallowing magnets can be extremely serious.

If more than one magnet is swallowed, they can attract each other through the walls of the intestines.

This can cause:
• Internal damage
• Perforations
• Blockages

🚨 This can become very serious very quickly.

❗ If a child swallows a magnet, seek urgent medical help immediately.

Many toys contain small magnets, so it’s important to:

🛒 Buy from reputable, trusted brands
✔️ Look for the UKCA or CE mark
👀 Stay aware of small detachable parts

Thankfully, in this case the child recovered without surgery 💛
But it could have been very different.

Thank you to the mum (who wished to remain anonymous) for sharing this to help warn others.

⏰ Clock Change Incoming! ⏰

The clocks go forward in a week… which means lighter evenings, warmer weather, sunshine ☀️… and yes, disrupted sleep 😴

Here are some gentle tips to help your little ones adjust:

✨ Ease into it
Move bedtime earlier by around 10 minutes each day in the lead up.

🌙 Keep it dark
Dim the lights and keep rooms as dark as possible before bedtime.

🌳 Fresh air & activity
Lots of fresh air and movement during the day can help them feel ready for sleep.

🎶 Create a calm bedtime routine
Try relaxing music, audiobooks or quiet time to help them wind down.

💛 Don’t worry
Even if you do nothing, your child will adapt. You can’t force sleep - sometimes it’s about going with the flow.

Be kind to yourself… and maybe line up the coffee ☕💛

💛 Our hearts go out to the families, friends and communities affected by the tragic deaths in Kent.

News like this can feel incredibly worrying, especially for parents.

It’s completely natural to feel unsettled when we hear stories like this 💛

Knowing the signs and symptoms, staying informed and trusting your instincts really matter.

Meningitis can become serious very quickly, and getting help early can make all the difference.

If something doesn’t feel right, it’s always okay to seek urgent medical advice straight away 🚑

Confidence & Life Skills

💜 Yesterday we celebrated International Women’s Day 💜

And it got me thinking about one of the most powerful things we can teach our children - confidence.

Confidence doesn’t just come from big achievements 🏆

It grows from small moments every day 🌱
✨ Trying something new
✨ Speaking up
✨ Problem solving
✨ Learning practical life skills

And one of those skills could one day save someone’s life.

First aid isn’t just about emergencies 🚑
It’s about confidence, staying calm and knowing what to do when it matters most 💛💙

When we teach children that they are capable, brave and able to help others, we’re raising a generation that supports and looks after one another 🤝

Because confidence isn’t something children are born with - it’s something we help them build 💛

✨ Watch this space for some upcoming Daisy First Aid classes where you can learn these life-saving skills in a relaxed and friendly environment.
