Sore gums, face rash, dribbling and rubbing an ear - these could all be signs that your baby is teething!

Check out this week's blog for lots of information and guidance on how you can help your baby through the pain and discomfort of teething.

As a new parent, it feels like at the 3-4 month stage you’re just making some headway – you’ve got over the initial shock of being en...

Most people would say they have heard of sepsis, but when asked whether they know the signs and symptoms, the answer is different.

At Mini First Aid, we educate about sepsis in all of our first aid classes. It's something we take very seriously because sepsis claims the lives of 50,000 people in the UK every single year.

Last week, our founder Kate was at the Houses of Parliament for a reception with our charity partners The UK Sepsis Trust. Hosted by the brilliant sepsis survivor ‘Bionic Peer’ Lord Craig Mackinlay, together with Harry Redknapp, Melissa Mead MBE and actor Jason Watkins. An incredible gathering of people, all focused on saving lives. The stories were so moving.

Thank you to Dr Ron Daniels BEM and Sarah Hamilton-Fairley for filling a room with health care professionals, passionate educators, those with lived experience of sepsis, and government representatives who truly care about the future of sepsis research, education and treatment.

This event really drove home how important our work in raising sepsis awareness in the community through our first aid classes really is, and we continue to support The UK Sepsis Trust wherever we can.

Our sessions are practical, hands-on, scenario-based and fun! We believe people learn best when they are involved in what they are being taught.

Defibrillator and a bleed control kit outside for public access. 👏

These are incredible, life-saving pieces of equipment that anyone can use in an emergency.

A defibrillator is a life-saving device that delivers a high-energy electric shock to the heart when someone is in cardiac arrest.
It gives clear, step-by-step instructions and can help restore normal heart rhythm before emergency services arrive.

The bleed kit is there for ANY major or traumatic bleed injury and can potentially save a life in those critical first minutes.

Having these available to the public shows real commitment to the safety and wellbeing of the community. You never know when something like this might be needed, but having them there could make all the difference.

Well done again — this is exactly the kind of initiative that saves lives. 💚

How do we accurately teach our parents, carers, children and workplaces how to do an abdominal thrust on someone who is choking?

We use Act Fast Medical training vests!

The Act+Fast Trainer is the original wearable anti-choking training vest and we use this in all of our classes and courses. It even made an appearance with us on Dragons' Den!

The vest lets us give realistic, hands-on training and provides immediate, visual feedback for the correct technique - if you don’t dispel the item from the vest, you haven’t stopped the choking!

Practising abdominal thrusts is often one of the most fun parts of our lessons!

Marti and the team at Act+Fast have supported Mini First Aid for several years, and this year they once again stepped up as a sponsor for our annual conference, for which we are incredibly grateful.

Thank you, Act+Fast! 🫶

Some safety information from the fabulous Supportive Sloths North West

Safety Information! (Please share!)

Don't forget whenever you wear your baby on your front, in any sling or carrier, the baby MUST be:

HIGH: They baby should be on the flat of your chest so you can kiss the top of their head with barely any bending.

TIGHT: The sling or carrier should be tight and there's should be no gaps or sagging behind the nape of their neck, this is so they can't slump down in the carrier.

IN SIGHT: You should be able to see your baby's face the whole time they are in the carrier so you know their breathing is not restricted by fabric.

If you have any concerns please let us know!
