🥶 The weather is starting to get cold now we have reached November.

🚘 It's definitely worth knowing, or being reminded of how to keep your little ones safe in their car seat during the winter months ahead. 👍🏻💚

❗️ The straps may look tight enough over a coat but in a crash the fabric will compress and leave gaps; often enough room for a child to be thrown out of the car seat completely.

✅ Coats off, stick the heating on and cover with a blanket once they’re correctly fastened in. 🚗

This week is very exciting for our little ones, but Bonfire Night can be risky. Over 550 children under 16 end up in A&E around 5th November every year.
Sparklers are often thought of as being safe, but they generate heat levels comparable to a welding torch.
So remember......
• Sparklers should not given to under-5s.
• Make sure everyone who handles sparklers wears gloves.
• Sparklers should be held at arm’s length.
• Only light one at a time.
• Don’t wave sparklers around close to other people.
• Never hold a baby in your arms while you’re holding a sparkler.
• When the sparkler has burned out, place it, hot end down, in a bucket of cold water or sand and leave it there for several hours – they stay hot for a long time!
Quick Burn First Aid
1. Remove the person from danger.
2. Remove jewellery and loose clothing (don’t pull off anything stuck)
3. Cool the burn under running cool running water for 20 minutes.
4. Cover loosely with cling film or a clean, dry dressing
5. Keep them warm.
6. Call 999 for serious burns (face, hands, feet, ge****ls, large or deep burns); otherwise contact 111.
Let’s keep everyone safe and happy this Bonfire Night 2025!

👻 Super Scary Halloween Treat Choking Hazards 👻

At Mini First Aid, we love Halloween as much as you do, but some Halloween treats like hard candy lollipops, popcorn, nuts and marshmallows are all choking risks and not recommended for toddlers and small children.

Hard lollipops and boiled sweets are a popular trick or treat gift but they can easily become detached from their stick and lodge in a child’s throat.

Nuts like peanuts/monkey nuts which are popular at Halloween are hard for small children to bite into and chew, and Popcorn with its sharp edges and kernel flakes can also be a choking hazard.

Marshmallows are sticky and hard for small children to safely chew. They can stick in a child’s windpipe and restrict their airway.

There is the added risk of your child eating these while running around, having fun trick or treating in the dark, not concentrating on chewing or eating, and you not noticing that they might be choking.

Stay safe this Halloween and keep sweet treats like this away from your small children and toddlers.

And have lots of spooky fun! 👻 🎃

"Falls are the most common causes of accidents in the home and account for 44 per cent of all children's accidents”* There are around 10 children’s deaths a year as a result of falling, some of these from windows and balconies, some from stairs.
Most falls are due to children tripping over but if a child falls from height, such as out of a cot or pram, the chance of injury is more severe, particularly if a child lands on a hard surface or onto something sharp or hot.
We can’t always stop accidents from happening but we can do our best to ensure our home is as safe for our children as possible and this means being aware of hazards, understanding how best to prevent them and knowing what safety products are worth buying…and which ones aren’t!
You can learn all of this, as well as refresh some of your first aid knowledge around choking and safe weaning, at our babyproofing sessions.
You don’t know what you don’t know!

If a hot drink or liquid spill happens anywhere near your child’s nappy, remove it immediately. You can see here how the temperature is retained inside the nappy as the hot water is absorbed.

Nappies are designed to retain liquid so in a hot drink or water spill, all of that hot liquid is being held directly against your little one’s skin which is why it’s important to remove it as quickly as possible.

⭐️ The exception to this is if the material is stuck to burnt skin, do not attempt to peel or remove.

Burns or scalds on the ge****ls can be severe and may warrant further medical treatment.

Our two-hour baby and child first aid classes for parents takes you through exactly what to do if your child receives a burn, what steps you should take, how to treat it and when you should seek further medical assessment.

October 15th was , this week do something for you and your baby, book a first aid class!

Classes start from just £30 per person, check our website to find details of classes near you.
