⚠️ Why are all of these foods potential choking hazards for babies and small children?

Size, shape and consistency!

Hard, round foods that do not dissolve in the mouth and cannot be chewed properly by babies or toddlers without molars are a risk for choking.

Foods like grapes and sausages that are round are the perfect shape for getting stuck in your baby's or child’s airway.

Food like sticky marshmallows, particularly when wet with saliva, can stick to your child’s throat and be very difficult to dislodge.

Lollipops on sticks might be fine to suck, but we know the lollipop itself can easily come off its stick and sucked into your toddlers throat.

Please take care to cut foods properly to make sure that even if they get stuck, they won’t completely block the airway. Cut grapes, tomatoes and hot dogs lengthways into long strips rather than round or in halves.

And why not come and learn how to deal with a choking incident at a Mini First Aid class so that if the worst does happen, you are fully prepared and ready to jump in and help your child.

Teach all the family and your friends these vital skills in a private class at home or attend an open class in a local venue.

Classes are just two-hours long and jam-packed with life-saving information and skill-training 💚

A really useful app to have 💚

🚘 HOLIDAYS!!! It’s not long now until the kids break up from school for the summer break.
Are you off on a road trip during these school holidays? It's so tempting to give the kids some snacks to keep them happy on the road, particularly if it's a long journey. But eating in the car can pose a significant CHOKING risk!

❗️Choking is SILENT!

❗️With your eyes on the road, it may take a while to notice that something is wrong. It then takes more time to pull over, get the child out of the car seat and start the relevant procedures.

💚 Every second counts with choking.

✅ So save the snacks for when you get there, or schedule a rest break into your journey time.

⛑ If you're not sure of how to help someone who is choking, why not take a look at the classes we have to offer at Mini First Aid Berkshire

🩹🩸 You might think a little cut or graze is no big deal, but any time the skin gets broken, there’s a risk of infection. So, it helps to understand how to care for cuts and grazes at home — and know when you need to seek medical help.

Stopping the bleeding, cleaning the wound thoroughly and covering it with a plaster or dressing is usually all that’s needed.

🧸 It is a good idea to explain to your child what you’re doing and that it may be a little painful but they will soon feel better. Maybe have a handy toy in your first aid kit for a little bit of distraction.

Don’t try to remove anything embedded in the wound as it may be plugging blood flow– seek medical advice.

🩹 Use a waterproof dressing if available.

Keep the dressing clean by changing it as often as necessary.

Minor wounds should start to heal within a few days. If they become red or look inflamed seek medical attention.

🦸‍♀️ Don’t forget an award for being so brave! Our cute little stickers can be found in both our Mini and Family First Aid kits! Buy your's at a class near you!!

❗️ALL PARENTS / CARERS NEED TO KNOW

🥵 What is the difference between heat exhaustion and heatstroke? When can you just cool them down at home, and WHEN should you be CONCERNED and take IMMEDIATE action??

Heat exhaustion happens when your body overheats and can’t cool itself down. This can happen during a heatwave or in a hot climate. If not treated quickly, it can turn into heatstroke, which can be life-threatening.

Heat exhaustion symptoms are often the same in children and adults, although children are likely to get irritable too.

Check out the guide to signs and symptoms and SAVE this post to refer back to 💚
