All Parents And Childminders Should Enrol In a Survival® CPR and First Aid Course🚨

In an emergency, literally every second counts. Most of us just keep our fingers crossed that accidents won’t happen to us, or that if the worst happens, there will be a doctor or other medically trained person on hand to take charge and help.

When accidents and emergencies happen, the last thing any parent would want to do is to panic or be helpless, especially if it involves their loved ones. You’d want to deal with such situations calmly armed with the proper first aid skills. If there is an opportunity to attend first aid training, specifically for emergencies involving children, you just might be able to save your child’s life.

We have a course for everyone!
Refer to our website for dates and courses at www.survivalcpr.co.za

Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease: What you need to know!

👶🏾What is HFMD?
HFMD is a highly contagious viral infection that mostly affects infants and young children under 5. It spreads easily in crèches and daycare centres, especially during summer and autumn.

⚠️ Symptoms to watch For:
✔️ Fever
✔️ Sore throat
✔️ Painful mouth sores
✔️ Blisters on hands, feet & buttocks
✔️ Feeling unwell

💊 How to treat It:
There’s no cure, but it usually clears up in 7-10 days. You can:
•⁠ ⁠Give pain relievers like Panado / Calpol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen
•⁠ ⁠Offer plenty of fluids (but avoid acidic drinks like orange juice)
•⁠ ⁠Use saltwater gargles for sore throats
•⁠ ⁠Apply topical oral anaesthetics for painful mouth sores

Prevention tips for Mamas:
🧼 Wash hands with soap regularly
🧽 Clean & disinfect surfaces frequently
🚸 Avoid close contact with infected kids

🐶 HFMD Myths Busted!
❌ It’s NOT from animals – it’s a human virus
❌ It’s NOT the same as foot-and-mouth disease in farm animals

If your little one shows symptoms, keep them home, keep them hydrated, and let their body fight it off.

Postpartum Planning: The Seatbelt for Maternal Health

The postpartum period is a time of immense change:

• Hormonal shifts and heightened alertness
• Sleep deprivation and exhaustion
• Physical recovery from childbirth
• Emotional adjustments and identity transformations
• Initiating breastfeeding
• Navigating relationships and support

Without a plan, it’s like sailing near hidden corals—you may not see the risks, but they’re there. Or like driving without a seatbelt—it won’t stop the challenges, but it can minimise potential danger, ensuring a safer journey.

Postpartum planning reduces stress, strengthens support, and creates space for recovery—laying the foundation for long-term maternal health, from postpartum to menopause and beyond.

Just a little picture of how things look when you’re carrying another human. ❤️

“At the age of 10-12 months when a child begins to walk, the bones of the foot are only partially ossified, are in reality but an orderly arrangement of cartilaginous masses.” - Functional Disorders of the Foot by Frank D. Dickinson, MD 🦶🏽

The implications of this are that little feet are extremely malleable, and will adapt to whatever environment they are put in. We want our children to grow up with natural shaped feet, not shoe-shaped feet. Keep those little paws out of shoes as long as possible. 🐾
