We talk about the average wait time for an Ambulance in Australia but these stories are your real stories. Some of you waited hours, some of you it was really fast but what came through most in your DMs is that what you did in those initial moments made such a difference to the outcome.

This is why I always say parents save lives, not paramedics. 
In an emergency, nobody can help faster than you. You are the first responder. And what you do before we arrive is what changes everything 🤍

As a paramedic, I felt the immense weight of trying to get to you fast. Lights and sirens. Racing through traffic. Pushing as hard as I could. But no matter how fast we drove, those first critical minutes belonged to you.
 If you’ve already been trained by us, thank you and if you’re yet to do a course, we cannot wait to teach you 🫶

You know your mum is a former paramedic and the co-founder of Tiny Hearts when you start to prevent yourself choking at age two 😂 But truly, this is my parenting philosophy in one moment.

Whether it is water safety, crossing the road or snack time at the kitchen bench, I do not just want my kids to be safe. I want them to understand why.

Choking prevention does not only start with how we cut food, it can start with our kids too. When we involve them in conversations about what a choking hazard looks like and what to do if something feels stuck, they begin to recognise it for themselves. So if they are served something risky, they know to pause, break it down, chew differently or ask for help.

Our children are far more switched on than we give them credit for. When we slow down, involve them and explain the why, we are not just setting rules. We are building life skills, awareness and confidence 🤍

I am one proud mama! 🫶

Broken legs can heal but spinal injuries are life-threatening and for me, it’s just not worth the risk.

In a collision, a rear-facing seat acts like a protective shell. It absorbs the impact and spreads the force safely across their back and shoulders instead of their delicate spine.

Watch the height markers on your car seat rather than the calendar. Keeping them turned around until they hit that maximum height limit is the best way to protect them.

Turn them later, keep them safer 💜

This DM from a Tiny Hearts mama really stuck with me. She explained that even though her son wasn’t in full respiratory distress, the worry consumed her because she didn’t have a clear point of comparison 💔

When our little ones are sick, panic can cloud our judgement. We stare at their chest and wonder: Is that too fast? Is that sucking in? Or is that just how they breathe?

This is your reminder to take a video of your baby breathing while they are well, rested and calm.
Save it to your favourites so you can find it fast.

Respiratory distress often starts subtly but can decline quickly. By having a baseline video, you can spot the difference between their “normal” and “working hard” much earlier. You can see if their rate has increased or if they are using extra muscles (retractions) to pull air in.

Be prepared for the moments you don’t want to think about. Let us teach you and transform into a calm, confident and empowered parent when it comes to the health and safety of your little one 🫶

Thank you to this mama for sharing her story and video xx

When it comes to fevers, I always say treat the symptoms not the number but there is one exception. When your baby is under 3 months old, a fever (over 38°C/100.4°F) is a medical emergency 🚨

A newborn’s immune system is still immature, so any fever can be an early sign of a serious infection and requires urgent medical assessment.

I know fevers can be overwhelming. That’s why I created our Pocket Fever Guide to help you know what to do next. Download it to your phone for when your little one next spikes a temp 🤍

Last week I shared a nasty DM from a disgruntled grandparent who was upset we were teaching parents not to let anyone kiss their babies.

We were flooded with DMs of similar experiences. “That’s not how it was done in my day,” “it’s lucky you all survived.” Message after message with the same stories of frustration, but people weren’t sure what to say next.

This post breaks down survivorship bias and gives you the words to use when your boundaries are questioned.

Tell me how you handle survivorship bias👇

This gorgeous little boy was being cheeky at dinner and stuck a carrot up his nose!

Because his mum had seen the Big Kiss technique from us before, she knew exactly what to do. One gentle puff and out came the carrot. This saved them all a traumatic visit to ED.

The Big Kiss (yes we renamed it from Mother’s Kiss, we got you dads!) works around 60 percent of the time and can save you a trip to hospital.

If this is the kind of knowledge you want before you need it, you’re in the right place 🤍

What should I say back to Ruth? 👀

This is just a taste of the DMs I receive each day, some supportive, some grateful and some very very angry grandparents. 
But even on the tough days, I wouldn’t change this work for the world. These conversations are exactly why Tiny Hearts exists, to support parents with education and confidence when it matters most.

And to our community, thank you for trusting us, backing us and reminding us why this work matters 🤍

Our Story

Tiny Hearts Education was born from a community need.

While working as a paramedic, Nikki noticed that parents, just like you, were faced with a devastating problem. They lacked essential paediatric first aid knowledge which led to terrible outcomes; distressed parents, a really sick bub - or even more devastatingly, the loss of a life.

Something had to change, so Nikki teamed up with her sister Rach, and they made it their life's work to equip parents with the skill to save the life of the little person that means the most to them.

We started out small in our Mum's garage with just the two of us, and over five years later have proudly grown to empower and educate over 60,000 Australian parents.
