Did you know our friendly trainers will come to your home to deliver our 2 hour baby and child first aid class?

We know it can be tricky to get out the house with little ones in tow so why not put the kettle on, invite some friends or family over and let us come to you!

Learning at home with friends and family is a very relaxed way to learn first aid. Learning first aid doesn’t have to be scary. Home classes can be a lot of fun!

Is your baby ready to start solids?

The guidelines say you should start weaning at around 6 months but babies aren’t robots and don’t magically become ready overnight once they turn 6 months.

Swipe for the 3 physiological signs your baby is ready to start solids. And for 1 sign that you are ready!

1 – Have they lost their tongue thrust reflex?
When you put a spoon in baby’s mouth they don’t automatically push it out.

Babies are born with a tongue thrust reflex to keep them safe from choking. Losing this is one of the signs they’re ready for solids.

2 – Are they able to sit up?

Your baby can sit up with a nice straight back and be able to hold their head up.
They may topple over if they reach for something but can sit up without support in the highchair.

3 – Can they put food to their mouth accurately?

Baby can pick something up and put it to their mouth accurately every time they try.

4 – Have you and anyone caring for your baby done a Daisy First Aid class?

Learn the skills that could save your baby’s life and gain the confidence to know when you can leave them to it plus LOADS more in a fun and friendly first aid class either at home or in one of our local venues. Head to: https://bookwhen.com/daisyfirstaidsouthend (link in bio) to book.

Tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils at the back of your throat. It is a common childhood illness, but teenagers and adults can get it too. Tonsillitis can feel like a bad cold or flu. The tonsils at the back of your throat will be red and swollen.

The main symptoms are:

a sore throat
problems swallowing
a high temperature of 38C or above
coughing
a headache
feeling sick
earache
feeling tired

Symptoms will usually go away after 3 to 4 days. Tonsillitis is not contagious, but most of the infections that cause it are, for example, colds and flu.

You should keep your child at home until they feel better. To help treat the symptoms:

ensure they get plenty of rest
give cool drinks or ice lollies to soothe the throat
give paracetamol or ibuprofen (following the guidance on the packaging)

See a GP or phone 111 if:

you see white pus-filled spots on your child’s tonsils
their eating and drinking is affected
symptoms haven’t gone after 4 days

Whooping cough (pertussis) is still something parents hear about a lot right now, and for good reason. It’s a highly contagious infection that can be serious for young babies who haven’t had their own jabs yet.

One of the best ways to protect your newborn is to have the whooping cough vaccine during pregnancy. In the UK it’s usually offered from around 16 weeks, ideally before 32 weeks, so that protective antibodies can pass to your baby before they’re born.

Even if you’ve missed the earlier window, you can still talk to your midwife or GP about getting the vaccine later in pregnancy or soon after birth.

Babies then start their own routine immunisations (including protection against whooping cough) from about 8 weeks old as part of the childhood vaccine schedule.

Swipe for symptoms and signs to look out for.

And please share this with other parents and parents-to-be

January with a tiny baby can feel long, quiet and exhausting.

The days blur, the nights are broken and everything feels harder in the cold.

These little tips aren’t about “fixing” anything. They’re about making today feel a bit easier.

You don’t need routines.
You don’t need to be productive.
You don’t need to have it all worked out.

If you and your baby are fed, warm and safe, you’re doing exactly what you need to be doing.

Save this for a tough day, or send it to a new mum who might need a gentle reminder that she’s doing brilliantly.
