❌ STOP doing this if you want to help prevent your baby or toddler from choking.
If your toddler likes sausages or hot dogs, here’s a super simple safety tip for you to help prevent choking.
Don’t cut your hot dog sausages into rounds, as small round pieces are the perfect shape and consistency to very easily get stuck in your child’s throat.
Instead, cut into longer thin slices so that even if it does get stuck, its shape means it’s unlikely to completely block the airway.
Join us for a baby & child Mini First Aid class and learn more about choking prevention and what to do to if the worst happens and your child begins to choke. We hope you will never need to use the techniques you learn in our class, but having the confidence of knowing how to respond could save vital seconds and help your child.

You have probably all heard someone say that you should let a cut or wound ‘breathe’ to heal better or quicker, meaning you should leave it uncovered.

But leaving a cut open doesn’t help it heal and it can make it easy for germs to get in!

When it comes to minor cuts and grazes, the priority is infection prevention. And that means one thing:

Wounds need to be cleaned and covered, however small.

Here’s what to do:

Clean it
- Use soap and water at home, or saline or wipes if you’re out and about
- Start in the middle of the wound and wipe outwards once
- Bin the wipe and use a fresh one each time (so that you don’t spread germs around)

Cover it
- Use a plaster or dressing to protect it while it heals
- This helps keep dirt and bacteria out while the skin repairs itself

Choosing a fun plaster and adding a bravery sticker (like the ones in our first aid kits!) can also really cheer little ones up

So, the next time someone says “just let it breathe”, you’ll know better!

Clean it, cover it and protect it!

A quick word about our up coming classes!

You probably know a child who would be described as being ‘on the spectrum’ or who has had or is waiting for a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

But are there really more children living with autism now than a few decades ago, or are we simply better at spotting the signs and diagnosing now?

We chatted with Dr Hannah Hobson, lecturer in Psychology, who leads a specialist research lab on autism and language disorders to answer all your questions and dispel the myths and misunderstandings about autism and the autism ‘spectrum’.

You can listen to our chat on our podcast - just search Family Health by Mini First Aid wherever you get your podcasts and head to episode 26.

Don't put this off any longer - book your baby first aid class today!

First aid is often the difference between life and death in emergencies, bridging the gap between the time of an accident or sudden illness and the arrival of professional medical help.

You might not have time to leave it to the professionals or get someone else to come and help. Sometimes, it's on you.

Learn the basics, get confident in carrying out simple first aid techniques and give yourself the peace of mind that if your child falls ill or has an accident, you'll know exactly what to do.

Find out more about our full range of classes for parents, children, adults and workers on our website, it couldn't be more simple to book, link in bio 💚

Every year in England around 370,000 children under five have an injury that requires a visit to a hospital. Around 40,000 will be admitted into hospital because of this injury and sadly around 50 may die.*

Your home feels safe, but for babies and toddlers, it’s full of hidden risks.

It’s important to know what hazards may be hiding in plain sight, how you can prevent accidents from happening in the first place and how to first respond to an accident if the worst happens.

In our classes each week, and throughout our network of trainers, many of whom also work in healthcare, we see or hear about the after-effects of home accidents on babies and toddlers all the time.

Sometimes this is what prompts a parent to come and take a first aid class with us - because they didn’t know what to do when an accident happened.

These are the home accidents we hear about most commonly:

⚠️ Falls
⚠️ Burns & Scalds
⚠️ Choking
⚠️ Poisoning
⚠️ Strangulation
⚠️ Drowning

Prevention is key. Prompt treatment is essential.

Mini First Aid can help in two ways - we offer a home safety/babyproofing class which can help you prevent accidents before they happen, and we have our award-winning baby & child first aid class to teach you everything you need to know about how to treat your baby or child if the worst happens.

Don’t leave keeping your baby safe to chance, head to the classes tab on our website now to see classes in Teesside and Darlington .
