Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infections are very common and usually lead to a cough and cold but the following groups are more at risk of it developing into something more serious
🔹Babies under 6 months old
🔹Babies who were born premature
🔹Adults over 75
🔹Anyone with a weakened immune system
🔹Smokers or babies exposed to smoke

RSV can lead to bronchiolitis and pneumonia which generally require hospital treatment 🏥

RSV generally starts with:-
👃🏼Runny nose
🥱Cough
🤧Sneezing
😴Tiredness
🤒High Temperature

If it becomes more serious it can also include:-
🔺A cough that gets worse
🔺Shortness of breath
🔺Fast breathing
🔺Difficulty feeding
🔺Noisy breathing
🔺Confusion

The easiest way to control the spread of RSV is good hygiene, wipe down toys, use disposable tissues and then wash hands with soap, try to keep your baby away from people who have symptoms and most importantly ask people NOT to kiss your baby

If you have any concerns call 111 or go to Urgent Care 🚨

Weaning can be an anxious time for some parents and not all babies take to it as quickly as others so today we thought we could make life a little easier with a list of what you need to get started

A highchair – your baby needs to be able to sit up safely with a steady head

The highchair needs to have straps and be sturdy with a safe locking mechanism if it is folding - a footrest is ideal as it provides stability

Think about whether you want one with its own tray or one that can pull up to the table, if it has a tray is it easy to remove and clean?

Spoons – you can use any type of spoon with your baby but soft, rubber ones can be easier on their sensitive gums

Bowls – any old bowl will do but ones with a suction base are less likely to end up on the floor or on your babies head

Ice cube trays can be really useful for batch cooking lots of different fruits and vegetables to start your weaning journey 🍐🥕🥦🍅

Bibs – weaning is a messy process for most babies whilst they learn about feeding themselves and trying lots of new things, fabric bibs that can be thrown in the wash or plastic ones that can be wiped clean are both fine

Messy mat – A plastic mat under the highchair is a great idea for catching food that misses the mouth or gets thrown off the tray

Cup – Water is encouraged once your baby starts weaning and it is recommended to use an open cup as this teaches your baby how to sip

The most important thing to remember is fun 😛

If you are ready to start weaning your baby join us for one of our online weaning sessions

Open water in the winter ❄️❄️❄️

As we move through January and February we are seeing colder days❄️❄️❄️

Open ponds and lakes may freeze over

Please teach your children the hazards of ponds and lakes when they appear to be frozen

Typically in the UK we do not have the temperatures to freeze open water to a point where it is safe to go on to skate or play

It’s very unlikely that the ice will be able to withstand the weight of a person or even a dog

Should an accident happen:
📞 Call 999
🛟 Shout “float to live” (tilt your head back, extend your arms and legs and slowly move in circles)
✅ Reach out to them (ideally laying down so you cannot fall in) and stay dry!
❌ Do NOT ever enter the water yourself you are likely to get in to trouble too
🚑 Keep them warm and go to hospital

🤧🚨☃

Croup is really common condition affecting the upper respiratory tract and mostly affects babies and small children, it is more common in Winter

Symptoms include:

A barking cough
A hoarse voice
Difficulty breathing
A high pitched, rasping sound when breathing in

It generally starts with cold-like symptoms and the symptoms of croup are generally worse at night

Croup usually improves on its own but you can do a few things to help:

Keep your child upright or on an incline
Comfort them to keep them calm (crying can make it worse)
Plenty of fluids
Give paracetamol if they have a temperature
DO NOT put your child in a steamy environment to relieve symptoms

Your child needs to be seen urgently if they:

Are struggling to breathe (their tummy may suck in under their ribcage)
Have a blue / grey tinge to the lips or skin
Are very sleepy
Are limp and floppy
Are drooling and finding it hard to swallow
Have a very high temperature

If you are concerned call 111 or 999 if they are declining or struggling to breathe, if croup persists for more than a few days get advice from a health professional

This time of year can be really difficult for some, particularly people who may be alone, grieving or separated from their loved ones 🥰

If you need someone to talk to over the holiday period help is available

Take time over the next few days to check in on friends, family, colleagues and neighbours, you might be the only one that does ❤💙

This First Aid Friday we are talking about the danger of magnets, especially on Boxing Day when all the toys are probably scattered around the floor for little hands to reach 🎄

Very strong magnets can cause serious damage to your child’s insides if swallowed, if multiple small ones are swallowed they can join together and make holes in the gut

Once swallowed removal can be very difficult including major surgery

Magnets are found in many places but particularly in:
Toys
Jewellery
Craft items
Fridge Magnets
‘Fake’ tongue piercings for older children

Be particularly careful of cheaper toys that may not comply with safety regulations

If you believe your child has swallowed a magnet you must take them straight to an Urgent Care centre or call 999 – DON’T DELAY as the damage can be caused within hours

Symptoms can be similar to a stomach bug or appendicitis

If you have older children talk to them about the danger of swallowing magnets
