❓So, why are they so dangerous?

🔹 Not only are they a choking hazard but the lithium coin cell batteries produce a substance called caustic soda when they come into contact with saliva.

This is the same substance we use to unblock drains.

You’ll find them in all sorts of products at Christmas:

🔹Festive tea lights
🔹TV remotes
🔹Singing Santas
🔹Musical cards/books
🔹Musical/light-up Christmas jumpers
🔹Robotic toys
🔹Light-up yo-yos
🔹Meat thermometer
🔹Kitchen scales
🔹Kids torches

If you suspect a child has swallowed a button battery you need to act FAST. Take them straight to A&E.

Make sure battery compartments in all products that contain them are secure and check them regularly.

Don’t keep spares in the house; if you do ensure they are labelled, locked away and well out of reach.

Please share this with anyone with babies and young children and help spread the word to keep them safe.

There are certain emergency situations where you can’t wait for an ambulance - you need to know what to do and act fast.

This isn’t about replacing medical help - this is about what we do while we wait for the medical professionals to arrive.

In those moments, knowledge and confidence matters.

Learn first aid with Daisy First Aid and feel prepared instead of powerless in an emergency.

💦 Tunbridge Wells Parents Without Water 💦

Although much of Tunbridge Wells enters day 5 without water there are areas close by in Southborough, St John’s, Rusthall and Langton Green (any areas beyond if able to drive) that do and they want to help.

Whether it be refill water bottles, wash clothes, help sterilise bottles etc…

Amba Parker is coordinating help in Langton Green and Vicki Pipes in Tunbridge Wells. They have both shared posts on Facebook on the Tunbridge Wells facebook group and others.

This is community led and people wanting to help (please consider safety).

Hopefully this is all resolved asap!!!

Bronchiolitis is a common chest infection that affects babies and children under 2. It’s usually mild and can be treated at home, but it can sometimes be serious and require hospitalisation.

It occurs when there is swelling in the smallest airways in the lungs, called bronchioles, obstructing them and making it more difficult to breathe.

SAVE this post so you can refer to it later if you need to and SHARE it with your parent friends so they know what to look out for.

💔 Around 3 babies a week still tragically die from SIDS — but many of these deaths could be prevented if all parents knew safer sleep guidelines.

✅ Yes, co-sleeping absolutely is safe and can make those sleepless nights a little easier - but only when done the right way.

🌼 The key is to plan ahead, not drift off accidentally without a safe sleep setup.

Safe co-sleeping tips:
🔹 Keep pillows & bedding away from baby’s head
🔹 Always place baby on their back
🔹 No pets or other children in the bed
🔹 Make sure baby can’t fall, get wedged, or trapped
🔹 Never leave baby alone in an adult bed

Do NOT co-sleep if:
🔹 You’ve had alcohol, drugs, or medication that makes you drowsy
🔹 You or anyone in the bed smokes
🔹 Baby was premature or under 2.5kg

‼️ Never fall asleep with your baby on a sofa or armchair — this increases the risk of SIDS by 50 times.

💖 Let’s keep our little ones safe while staying close

🔹 Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of coughs and colds. RSV infectinos usually get better by themselves, but can sometimes be serious for babies and older adults.

🔹 RSV infections are very common. Almost all children get them at least once before they’re 2 years old.

🔹 They’re not usually serious, but some babies and adults have a higher risk of getting seriously ill, particularly:

👉 babies under 6 months old
👉 young children who were born prematurely
👉 adults over 75 years
👉 babies, children and adults with a weakened immune system, or long-term lung or heart conditions
👉 people who smoke to***co and babies exposed to to***co smoke

🔹 In babies, RSV is a common cause of a type of chest infection called bronchiolitis.

🔹 This can cause breathing problems and may need to be treated in hospital.

🔹 RSV can also cause a serious lung infection (pneumonia) in babies and older adults.

👉 Swipe for symptoms and when to get advice from medical professionals.

Just when your baby was starting to sleep for longer periods… BAM! Night wakings, nap refusal and daytime fussiness takes over!

At around 4 months, your little one’s brain is growing fast! They’re learning new skills: hand-eye coordination, tracking objects, recognizing faces, reaching for toys, and even starting to babble. They may dribble more too (which doesn’t necessarily mean they are teething!).

Try to remember: This isn’t a setback - it’s a progression. Your baby needs comfort, reassurance, and lots of love right now. Take care of yourself too and rest when you can.

Hang in there. This challenging phase will pass, and your baby is learning so much every day!
