We have the worst stats in Europe for burns from hot drinks.. it’s our cup of tea culture and the fact it’s accepted to have hot drinks around children ☕️

Preventing these accidents is always best so have a cuppa when they’re napping and if they’re awake, make sure it’s out of reach!

When treating a burn, cool the burn with cool to tepid RUNNING water for 20 MINS!!

Remove clothing (if you feel any resistance then leave and cool through the fabric), nappies, shoes & socks! 🧦

❌ Do not put any creams or lotions on the burn. Avoid using fluffy dressings (use cling film instead) and do not use ice! 🧊

If you want to know more about burns & how to treat the along with other life savings skills then book on to one of our classes! Link in the bio 🔗

🚨 NEW technique for delivering chest compressions during baby CPR ⭐️

Towards the end of last year, the Resuscitation Council UK released new guidelines for best practise in resuscitation, which included some recommended changes to the way we deliver chest compressions and chest thrusts to babies.

One of the key changes relates to the finger placement while delivering CPR to babies and this video from our brilliant training manager Gemma demonstrates the new technique.

The preferred method for infants under 1 is now a two-thumb encircling technique. This can help you achieve consistent, effective chest compression depth with less finger fatigue. Other methods (one-hand or two-hand) can still be used if age-appropriate and needed.

Our network of trainers across the UK are all trained in this new delivery method and we’re already passing this on to you in our classes, so if you come and train with us, you’ll get hands-on practice on baby mannequins to help you learn and perfect this.

If you are already trained in first aid, rest assured that the previous two-finger technique is still adequate! First aid evolves as new research emerges, and these updates simply offer techniques that may help rescuers deliver even better-quality care.

If you are keen to learn more about the guideline changes, check out the info from and if you would like to refresh your knowledge or learn these new techniques in person, take a look at the classes page on our website to find a baby first aid class near you 💚

When breastfeeding is painful, it can feel not only physically sore, but emotionally harrowing too. Not all new mums find breastfeeding easy or that it comes naturally; it can take time and practice.

The most common cause of ni**le pain is poor positioning or a poor latch, but ongoing pain may also be a sign of something else, like thrush, tongue-tie or a bacterial infection, so please seek help from your midwife or GP if you are struggling.

Swipe through for NHS guidance on treating ni**le pain during breastfeeding and reach out for breastfeeding support if you are finding it tough - your health visitor should be able to point you to local support groups, and the NCT offers free drop-in sessions across the UK, see their website for information.

This month, the Government launched a chickenpox vaccination programme in England, which aims to protect around half a million children each year

GP practices will offer eligible children a combined vaccine for measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (MMRV) - the clinical term for chickenpox - as part of the routine infant vaccination schedule.

According to Government research, chickenpox in childhood results in an estimated £24 million in parental lost income and productivity every year in the UK, so it's hoped that the vaccine will mean children miss fewer days in nursery and school, so parents will not need to take time off work to care for them.

Lots more information on the vaccine can be found at the link in the comments. Please see your GP to check if your child is eligible and to discuss any concerns you may have.
