The NHS Best Start In Life have created a guide to help parents and carers of children under 5 navigate screen time 👫

The guidance advises:
Under 2's - Avoid screen time except shared activities with families
2-5 yrs - Try to keep to 1 hour a day

They advise slow paced, predictable content for young brains with simple stories that use clear and slow speech so emotions are easy to follow 💛

'Large amounts of screen time are linked with negative effects on children’s health
and development. It can affect social, emotional, language & brain development, sleep, eyesight and weight.' 👧

Antibiotics are no longer routinely used to treat infections. Most infections are caused by viruses so antibiotics are not effective. Antibiotics are unlikely to speed up the healing process and can cause side effects 🧑‍🔬

The more antibiotics are used to treat minor conditions, the more likely they are to become ineffective for treating more serious conditions 👫

Public Health England have estimated by 2050, deaths attributed to antimicrobial resistance could be as high as 10 million a year 💊

If you feel unwell, antibiotics are not always the answer, it is best to visit your local pharmacy and try over the counter medications in the first instance👩
