💔 Tragically around 3 babies a week still die from SIDS — but many of these deaths could be prevented if all parents knew safer sleep guidelines.

✅ Yes, co-sleeping absolutely is safe and can make those sleepless nights a little easier - but only when done the right way.

👍 The key is to plan ahead, not drift off accidentally without a safe sleep setup.

👉 SAFE co-sleeping tips:
• Keep pillows & bedding away from baby’s head 👶
• Always place baby on their back
• No pets or other children in the bed
• Make sure baby can’t fall, get wedged, or trapped
• Never leave baby alone in an adult bed

❌ Do NOT co-sleep if:
• You’ve had alcohol, drugs, or medication that makes you drowsy
• You or anyone in the bed smokes
• Baby was premature or under 2.5kg

‼️ Never fall asleep with your baby on a sofa or armchair — this increases the risk of SIDS by 50 times.

😩 Just when your baby was starting to sleep for longer periods… BAM! Night wakings, nap refusal and daytime fussiness takes over!

🧠 At around 4 months, your little one’s brain is growing fast! They’re learning new skills: hand-eye coordination, tracking objects, recognizing faces, reaching for toys, and even starting to babble. They may dribble more too (which doesn’t necessarily mean they are teething!).

🙃 Try to remember: This isn’t a setback - it’s a progression. Your baby needs comfort, reassurance, and lots of love right now. Take care of yourself too and rest when you can.

💕 Hang in there. This challenging phase will pass!

❤️ On this Remembrance Day, we honour the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we, and our children, could grow up in peace.

❤️ History reminds us that we must learn, remember, and teach our little ones the values of empathy, understanding, and acceptance.

❤️ Peace isn’t promised; it’s protected every day by how we choose to live and love.
Remembrance is how we honour those who made it possible and learning from the past is how we ensure history never repeats itself.

👀 Did you spot the danger?

The answer: this little one is wearing a thick, puffy coat in their car seat.

🚗 It might seem harmless but bulky coats can make car seats far less effective in a crash. That extra padding means the harness isn’t snug against your child’s body, even if it looks tight.

👍 Here’s a quick way to check if a coat is too bulky:

Step 1: Buckle your child into their car seat with their coat on and tighten the straps.

Step 2: Without loosening the straps, take your child out, remove the coat, then buckle them back in.

‼️ If you can pinch the strap between your fingers, the coat is too thick to be worn safely.

Instead:

👉 Pop a blanket over them once they’re strapped in
Or use a car seat-safe cover to keep them cosy and protected

🙏 Please TAG a parent and SHARE to help spread this important safety tip. Let’s keep our little ones warm and safe this winter.

🫩 Parenting is beautiful… and exhausting.

💗 You can love your children more than anything in the world and still feel tired, touched out or overwhelmed.

Both can be true.

💕 It’s okay to admit you’re exhausted. It doesn’t make you ungrateful, it makes you human.

💕 Let’s remind each other that feeling things doesn’t mean we’re failing; it means we’re doing it all.

💕 Sending love to every tired parent out there tonight - you’re doing an amazing job.

🤒 Flu season is here and unlike a common cold, the flu can hit hard and fast with fever, aches, chills, cough, and exhaustion that stops you from going about your normal daily life.

💉 The flu vaccine is the best way to protect yourself and those you love. It’s especially important for:

👶 Babies & children - Children aged 2–17 are usually offered the nasal spray vaccine through GP surgeries or school programmes. If your little one is under 2 and has a long-term health condition, they’ll be offered the jab instead (as the spray isn’t licensed for under 2s).

🤰 Pregnant women - Flu can be more serious during pregnancy, leading to risks like preterm labour. Getting the vaccine helps protect both you and your baby, even after birth.

👵🏻 Older adults, carers & those with health conditions - The vaccine helps reduce complications and hospital admissions.

🔹 In the UK, many people can get the flu jab free on the NHS through your GP, local pharmacy, or school vaccination programme.

👉 Taking a few minutes to arrange your jab could mean avoiding days (or weeks) of illness and just as importantly, it helps protect your family and community.

👍 Speak to your GP, midwife, or local pharmacy to book yours today.
