Have you seen the BBC News report about unsafe sleep advice?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce84e1vn1l2o

It is important that you follow NHS guidance.

Baby massage and reflexology can support sleep but as a complementary therapy practitioner we always work alongside NHS guidance. We never diagnose or give contradictory advice.

If you'd like help and support with sleep, or reflux, why not try baby massage and reflexology. Contact me for more details or to book, and check out my website https://thearomatherapyroom.co.uk/little-roots-bloom/

New government guidance on screen time for under 5s.

Guidance for under 2s
Avoid screen time other than for shared activities that encourage bonding, interaction and conversation.

Guidance for 2 to 5-year-olds
Try to keep screen time to no more than one hour a day.
Avoid at mealtimes and in the hour before bed.

Types of content
Choose slow-paced, age-appropriate content.
Fast-paced, social media-style videos and AI toys or tools should be avoided for young children.

Watching together
Watch or use screens together. It's advised to talk about what you are watching, asking questions and engaging with the content.
This is better for children's development than solo screen use.

💛 Looking for a gentle way to bond with your toddler? 💛

Connecting with your child isn’t just special — it shapes who they become. When little ones feel safe, seen, and loved, it builds the foundation for confidence, resilience, and emotional wellbeing

Strong parent-child connection helps to:
• Reduce anxiety and big emotions
• Encourage better behaviour and cooperation
• Boost brain development, language, and social skills
• Build resilience for life’s ups and downs
• Grow confident, happy little humans

And the best part? It doesn’t have to be complicated. Connection happens through touch, play, laughter, and simply being present

👣 That’s where toddler reflexology comes in…
Our classes offer a calm, nurturing space where you can slow down, connect through soothing touch, and enjoy special one-to-one time with your child.

Gentle. Relaxing. Meaningful.
A beautiful way to strengthen your bond while supporting your child’s wellbeing.

Come along and experience it for yourself — your toddler (and you!) will love it.

Classes are being held at Beaulieu Community Centre after Easter.

The Meningitis Research Foundation website provides clear information on the signs and symptoms of meningitis and sepsis, along with guidance on what to do if you think your child may be affected. It breaks down the symptoms into traffic lights (red being needs urgent attention) as well as showing the differences of symptoms between babies and toddlers.

If you are worried about someone who is seriously ill, seek urgent medical attention.

Have you heard of the 1001 critical days manifesto?

The “1001 Days Manifesto” is all about giving every child the best possible start in life — from pregnancy to age 2, a period that shapes their future health, learning, and wellbeing.

💛 Why it matters:

A baby’s brain forms over 1 million new neural connections every second in early life

Early experiences shape how children learn, manage emotions, and build relationships

Secure, loving attachments help children feel safe and confident to explore the world

Parents’ mental health and wellbeing directly affect a child’s development

🧠 Why it matters for child development:

Positive early interactions support language, memory, and social skills

Stress or lack of support in these years can impact brain development and emotional regulation

Strong foundations early on are linked to better outcomes in school, mental health, and even physical health later in life

🤝 What it calls for:

Better support for parents during pregnancy and early childhood

Access to services like health visitors, mental health support, and parenting advice

Stronger communities to help families thrive
