😮‍💨Breath-holding is when a baby or child stops breathing for up to 1 minute and may faint. It can happen when a child is frightened, upset, angry, or has a sudden shock or pain. It’s usually harmless but can be scary for parents, particularly when it happens for the first time.

Breath-holding episodes:

▪️usually last for less than 1 minute (if the child faints, they'll usually regain consciousness within 1 or 2 minutes)
▪️are not epileptic seizures

Your child is not doing it on purpose and cannot control what happens when they have a breath-holding episode.

📞Call 999 if:
❗️faints and cannot be woken up
❗️is shaking or jerking because of a fit
❗️is blue or grey

These could be symptoms of breath-holding, but could also be related to other, more serious conditions. If a doctor has not previously told you it's breath-holding, it's important to get it checked immediately.

See a GP if your child has already been diagnosed with breath-holding and:

▪️has breath-holding episodes more often than before or the episodes seem worse
▪️is stiff or shakes for longer than a minute and takes a while to recover
▪️has breath-holding episodes that are affecting everyday life

The GP will try to find out if there's a more serious underlying condition. They may suggest an ECG to check your child's heart rhythm.

🐝Have you noticed the wasps becoming more of a nuisance recently? We’re likely to see a lot more of them around this year.

The warm weather we’ve had means the queens wake earlier and start nesting sooner which gives the colonies more time to grow resulting in larger populations. Wasps are more active in warm conditions and hot summers mean faster egg-layng, more workers and bigger colonies.

Warm weather also boost insect number which are a key food source for wasps.

You’ll see more wasps around in August and September when the workers switch from hunting insects to seeking food elsewhere (ie our drinks and food).

Here’s what you can do to reduce numbers where you are:
- Cover bins and compost
- Keep sugary drinks and food sealed when you’re outdoors
- Don’t swat – this releases a pheromone that can alert other wasps

If your child gets stung:
✅put an ice pack wrapped in a cloth, or a clean cloth soaked in cold water, on the bite or sting for at least 20 minutes, if it's swollen
✅keep the area raised if you can
✅take painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen if the sting is painful
✅use antihistamines to relieve any itching
✅use a hydrocortisone cream to reduce itching and swelling (ask a pharmacist for advice)
✅Watch for signs of a serious allergic reaction

❓Could you spot the symptoms of diabetes in your child?

If type 1 diabetes is left undiagnosed, it can get really serious, really quickly. But knowing the signs can avoid a medical emergency and save lives.

Knowing the 4Ts can help you spot the four most common signs of type 1 diabetes in both adults and children, and they’re really easy to remember:

🧻Toilet – Going for a wee more often.

🥛Thirsty – Non-stop thirst and drinking more than usual.

💤Tired – Feeling more tired and having less energy than usual.

📉Thinner – Unexplained weight loss.

If you are concerned about your child please take them to see a GP as soon as possible.

❓Do you know the difference between heat exhaustion and heatstroke?

🥵In this weather it’s important to look out for signs of heat exhaustion in children.

Heat exhaustion is not a medical emergency but the child will need to be cooled down in order to prevent it turning into heatstroke.

Follow the steps above to cool them down.

If they have not recovered within 30 minutes or they begin to feel worse or become unconscious then it could be developing into heatstroke.

If you suspect heatstroke please phone for an ambulance as soon as possible. Cool the child down as quickly as you can using a cold shower, bags of ice on the neck, armpits and groin areas or immerse their whole body in cold water if you can.

If the child goes unconscious get them into the recovery position and monitor their breathing while you wait for help to arrive.

Today is World IVF Day!

The birth of Louise Brown in 1978 was the start of a revolution in fertility treatment and her birthday – 25th July – has been known as World IVF Day ever since.

It is estimated that since Louise Brown's birth over eight million babies have been born from IVF around the world.

The journey to parenthood isn’t easy or straightforward for everyone and today is a chance to celebrate all the beautiful babies conceived via IVF and the incredible advances that have been made in fertility treatment over recent years.

❤️We’d also like to send love and strength to anyone who is on that journey now.

🦠This is so important especially as we approach the winter months and all the extra viruses that are doing the rounds.

❌💋As cute as they are, please remember that you must NEVER kiss someone else’s newborn baby.

It's not just about etiquette; it's about health and safety:

▪️Vulnerable Immune Systems: Newborns have developing immune systems, making them highly susceptible to infections. Their little bodies are still learning to fight off germs, which means they're more at risk for illnesses.

▪️The Spread of Germs: Even if you feel healthy, you could be carrying viruses or bacteria that could potentially harm the baby. A minor cold for you could be a potentially very serious issue for them.

▪️Herpes Risk: Did you know that even a simple cold sore could be dangerous for a newborn? Herpes simplex virus can be life-threatening for infants, and it's easily transmitted through kissing or close contact.

▪️Hand Hygiene: It’s also important to make sure you've thoroughly washed your hands before handling a newborn to make sure you keep them safe.

🥰So, while we all adore babies and want to shower them with love, it’s important to remember to show our affection in ways that keep them safe and healthy.

If you’re expecting a little one please SHARE this with your loved ones to give them a heads up.
