TEDDY! This little hero helps relieve pain and reduce swelling caused by bumps, scrapes, bruises and sprains.

He’s also brilliant for soothing headaches and sunburn when cool and for muscle aches and cold hands when warm!

He’s reusable and has already won a Best Buy Platinum Award at the 2024 Loved By Parents awards.

And best of all? He’s super cute and is a first aid treatment sure to put a smile on your little one’s face 🙂

Buy Teddy individually or as part of a super value bundle along with our mini first aid kit when you attend a class💚

I’ve had the pleasure of teaching all the children from Reception to Yr6 at Blackawton Primary School over the last week in basic and life saving first aid skills. They were all so engaged and eager to learn! Well done to you all! ⛑️🏅🏅🏅

Over the past few days, all children across the year groups have taken part in First Aid training. Such a valuable and vital life skill. Well done Blackawton Primary School

If you have a child under five years old, you need to be aware of meningitis and septicaemia, because children in this age group are more at risk than older children and adults.

In young children, the first symptoms of meningitis are usually fever, vomiting, headache and feeling unwell. Limb pain, pale skin, and cold hands and feet often appear earlier than a rash, neck stiffness and dislike of bright lights and confusion.

Please don't take any chances, seek medical help if you are worried about your child.

👂Hearing about lots of cases of chicken pox at the moment?

How to treat chickenpox:
❌For the fever and flu-like symptoms DO NOT under any circumstances, give a baby or child with chickenpox ibuprofen as it can cause serious skin infections. Stick to paracetamol.

💊There are a number of over the counter products and also make at home remedies to relieve the itching – speak to your pharmacist for more information and guidance on suitability for your child.

🌡️ Monitor your child’s temperature. Keep your child cool in loose cotton clothing or bare skin and keep them hydrated with water.

🛀 Cool baths or showers are soothing. You can add 2 big spoons of bicarbonate of soda to further relieve the itching. Following a bath, make sure you pat skin dry, don't rub, and let hair dry naturally to avoid irritating the scalp with hairdryers.

🚰Make sure you keep your child well hydrated.

🧦 Cut your child's nails and put socks on your child's hands at night to avoid further irritation to your child's skin from scratching.

🧑‍⚕️ Your GP can offer advice, speak to them on the phone or you can even send them pictures, however if you don't feel a phone appointment is sufficient, ask your surgery for an end of the day appointment so you don't risk infecting others.

❌Avoid contact with those who are pregnant, newborn babies and those who have a weakened immune system.

🏫 Children should stay off nursery/child care until the spots have crusted over. It is worth checking your child carers' policy.

🚨If you are in any way concerned about your baby or child’s condition, call 111 for advice or call 999 for an emergency.
