⚠️ Choking Awareness post from First Start First Aid ⚠️

It’s that time of year again — snuggly season!
🍁Perfect for toasting marshmallows over the fire or curling up with a hot chocolate piled high with gooey mini marshmallows... but did you know? 👇

🍬 Marshmallows can be a hazardous treat for young children! 🍬

Why?
⛔️ They’re so light and airy that if a child laughs, runs, or talks with one in their mouth, it can easily be sucked into the airway.
⛔️ Once wet, they expand and turn sticky — if they become lodged in the airway, they can be very difficult to remove.

👉 Ideally, it’s best to avoid giving marshmallows until your child is much older.

💡 At First Start First Aid, I am passionate about helping parents feel confident in an emergency.

Don’t forget — Book your 1:1 session from an experienced A&E Nurse and Mum of 3 to help you learn these lifesaving skills.Contact Chloe today 07572 418572 or drop me an email firststartfirsraid@outlook.com

🌟 Are You a New Parent or Expecting? Here’s Why You NEED First Aid Training for Your Baby! And here is why I am the BEST choice for your first aid training. Most first aid trainers out there have no medical background so they are teaching from a 'text book!' I am an experienced Nurse and mum of 3 boys, so I can relate🌟

Welcoming a new baby into your life is one of the most exciting moments you’ll ever experience, but it can also come with a lot of worries. What if something goes wrong? How can you be sure you’ll know what to do in an emergency?

The truth is—knowing basic first aid could be the difference between panic and calm, confidence and fear. 🩺

🚨 Emergency situations can happen in an instant. Are YOU prepared?

Whether you’re a first-time parent or expecting your little one soon, having the right knowledge and skills is crucial. Here’s what you should know to feel ready for any situation.

Lifes pressures are different for all of us. Some have more, I always say its OK to not be OK! You dont always have to put on a brave face.... remember its good to talk. Keeping it all bottled in is not healthy or helpful

🩹 Did you know? If you get a small cut, washing it with plain clean water is just as good—sometimes even better—than using antiseptics like hydrogen peroxide! 🚰✨ Peroxide can actually slow healing by irritating the skin, while water rinses away dirt and bacteria without the sting.
